Fly with me on The Purple Balloon


Hello all!

It is time for another one of my Keep Calm and Get Featured posts.

This time the featured seller is Trinity from ThePurpleBalloon. She's one of the sweetest girls I've "met" through Etsy and an amazing artist. I think her shop is a breath of fresh air in the field of jewelry; her technique is absolutely unique!

I am honoured to have her here. Without further delay, here are 5 thinks the world should know about Trinity...


1) My name is Triada, but my friends call me Trinity, Trinidad, Tribuni, Chicken (kotopoulo in greek) or Dirty Chicken (Bromokotopoulo) and other embarrassing nicknames I couldn't mention here.


2) Making jewelry is what makes me feel relaxed and happy, especially when I am inspired and I create something new.



3) As much I love colorful combinations I do love black and white combinations too.



4) What I appreciate the most in general is humor. Unfortunately, I have bad sense of humor. The truth is that I am the only one laughing with my jokes. 


5) I enjoy watching films of all kinds. However, I prefer going to the cinema than staying at home and watching dvd. Moreover, two of my favorite movies are Amelie and Forrest Gumb.

How do you like the cyclamen earrings in the photo above? Aren't they amazing? Well...Trinity is giving them away!!!! Yeap, told you she's the sweetiest ;)

All you have to do to enter this outstanding GIVEAWAY is follow my blog and leave a comment with your favourite item from ThePurpleBalloon (and a way of reaching you in case you win). 

Extra entries:  
Heart her shop here
Like ThePurpleBalloon on facebook
Follow here amazing boards on pinterest

Each of these gets you one entry (a total of three extras) provided that you leave a separate comment. I will chose one winner through random.org, on Saturday, May 5th. 

Thank you Trinity!!!

Stay tuned for more gorgeous featured artists!
Take care
Akamatra
p.s.: Want to get featured? Keep calm and sent me an e-mail!

The truth is I LOVE (really) just about everything in Trinity's The Purple Bloom Etsy shop (as well as in YOURS, Akamartas.) To get a better sense of what I mean, see all of the items (CREATIONS) in both of your Etsy shops that have been Etsy "Favorited/Hearted" by me, Jesselyn. I also LIKEd (and Shared) many of my favorites from both The Purple Balloon and Akamatras on my Facebook page/wall (I'm Jesselyn Andersyn) and even a few on Twitter (@Jesstinger)

For the sake of this entry - one of my many favorites in TGrinity';s shop is "Purple butterfly earrings - handmade copper earrings - Colorful spring landscape earrings - Wire Wrapped and Resin Circle Earrings"

Thank you both so much!
