TREASURY: Thank You Friends

 
TREASURY: Thank You Friends
by
Linda Diana Hundsdorfer



Linda, a native of Florida, has now settled a long way from home in Bavaria, Germany. 
A mother of two adorable little girls, Sarah, age 10, and Laura, age 11; and whose husband
is a native of Germany.  Her reason for making Germany her current home is to help her
handicapped daughter, Laura, who was born with Cerebral Palsy.  Unfortunately the
treatment and surgeries that Laura needs is much too expensive in the US.
 
 Vintage Ivory Rose
I recently wrote an article on my blog about Laura, who not letting her disability hold
her down, recently opened her own shop here on Etsy.  She is an inspiration to all who
 allow their disabilities to hold them down.  The blog I wrote is:

 
                                                     Murano Glass Perfume Bottle
Linda has been able to find a release from her stressful day of being a mother with
 a handicapped daughter, has found a home here on Etsy:  In her words,  “I found a
 place where i can show my treasures and I hope that I can make a little extra money .
 It makes me happy to do my jewelry and beadcrafts”.  Linda transfers all her negativity
 and energy into “Tachyon-Energym, a Holistic healing which merges science and
spirituality in our sharing of healing energy.  Have fun looking at my Treasures:-)

 *I was proud to find this little notation at the end of Laura’s profile!
Thank you Magdalene, for what you did for Laura

An Inspiration

A True Inspiration


Laura’s Dream Horse
By
Laura Hundsdorfer

It is not often that I find a shop that truly inspires me. After you read this blog about Laura, and her new shop just opened yesterday, http://LaurasDreamHorse.etsy.com, I know you will be inspired by Laura and her talent. Laura-Alexandra was born in Germany in 2001 (yes 2001) which means she is just 11 yrs. old. As she says in her profile, she has wanted to open a shop for the past 2 years, and finally convinced her mother to help her set up a shop here on Etsy. Her passion is drawing, painting and beadwork.



  Amazingly though, Laura was born with several handicaps; and has Cerebral Palsy on the right side of her body. For someone who was right-handed, this might have been a difficulty for most; but not for Laura, she, after much trying, found that she can follow her dreams using her left hand. So all of her beautiful horse paintings have been painted using her left hand. Laura has also had numerous surgeries, and suffers from other disabilities. According to Laura, “it makes me feel good that there is something in my life i can do really good. That makes me forget that I am a little different from other kids around me:-).”


Besides her love of horses, Laura also takes part in a special therapy for kids with disabilities called “Hippotherapie”; a form of physical, occupational and speech therapy in which a therapist uses the characteristic movements of a horse to provide carefully graded motor and sensory input. A beautiful quote from Laura, “As long as Humans think that animals don’t have feelings, animals feel that humans dont think!” This is a little girl who is wise beyond her years in her thoughts and talents. I know you find her story as inspiring as I did and stop by and support her shop.

Bbest Team Treasury: Spring Fever



Bbest Team Treasury:  Spring Fever
by
Dena: RuralRetreatVintage.etsy.com




Welcome to Dena’s shop: http://RuralRetreatVintage.etsy.com. Here you will find Vintage & Victorian buttons, sewing supplies, handcrafted button jewelry and accessories, handcrafted cards and tags, and vintage jewelry. I especially loved these two buttons: first, a beautiful carved Topaz colored Floral Button; and a Victorian Cupid Brass Button, which has been in Dena's collection for over 50 years
Dena has enjoyed collecting vintage buttons for 50 years. My grandma was a seamstress and got me started collecting buttons when I was a little girl. I too have a collection of my grandmother’s buttons which always fascinated me – which drew me to this shop. Dena and her husband are now retired and are enjoying their life nestled in the foothills of the beautiful mountains in eastern Tennessee.
