If you are looking for some lovely jewelry for that special day or for something lovely to wear every day, I would like to introduce you to Grace from Created by Grace for You.
-Tell us a bit about yourself, Grace.
I was born in East
Africa and grew up in Minnesota and California. I went to UC Berkeley for
undergrad and Fuller Seminary for my masters degree. I currently work at my
church as a minister. My favorite thing to do is to travel the world and
see the people and cultures God created. I also enjoy adventure and have had
the opportunity to ski dive, scuba dive, bungee jump, fly a Cessna plane and
much more!
-How did you get your
start on Etsy?
I joined Etsy because
I was excited to find that there was a creative community that shared in my
love for arts, crafts and much more. I have not been on Etsy that long and am
still on a huge learning curve!
-How did you choose
your shop name?
The name Created by
Grace was chosen first to acknowledge that everything we have is all because of
God's grace. Second, because I (Grace) design the art pieces and I work with a
friend of mine (Lisa) in making the pieces in my shop.
-What does a typical
day look like for you?
I work full time at my
church. The days are filled with meetings, emails, and everything else that
happens in any office environment. After
work, I often come home and work on designing new pieces, and we set to work to
put them together. My inspiration comes from modern trends and my travels
around the world.
-If you could be
anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
There are so many
countries I would love to travel to! However, if I could be anywhere in the
world for one day it would be either at a G8 or United Nations meeting. I think
it would be incredible to be gathered with world leaders and be able to learn
from them and pray for them as they make key decisions in leading their
countries. What would make the day even more amazing would be having the
opportunity to speak to the leaders about justice issues such as poverty and
ending sex trade slavery.
-What is your favorite
Bible verse?
Whom have I in heaven
but you? Earth has nothing I desire besides you. Psalm 73:25
-What is one of your favorite items?
One of my
favorites is this charm bracelet. I love the different colors and shapes and
how we fit so many into the bracelet.
- Other URLs where we can find you on the internet.
We are currently
working on a Facebook page and hope to have it launched by the beginning of
next month.
