Been back in the beautiful city of Portland Oregon for maybe 2 weeks now & already uploaded a bunch of new earrings with the theme Gypsy Fortuneteller in mind. I belong to many cool teams on etsy & one is the Burlesque Belly Dance team & each month we have to create for a specific theme… It’s a real fun team to belong to
