#newproduct

Perhaps I should properly introduce myself? I'm Layla, a 32-year-old dreamer hailing from the beautiful, tiny Netherlands. I adore tea (a bit too much!), I love to crochet, and I truly believe the world needs more alpacas and cozy plaids. Fun fact: I've been a dedicated Swiftie since 2008.

My main purpose here is to share my creative journey with you. This means everything from DIY inspiration and tutorials to the newest handmade items I've created for my Etsy shop. But you can also expect casual blog posts about my favorite things, like the weather, my go-to tea blend, or whatever book or show I've currently discovered.

I’m still so mesmerized by the weather lately. The way the leaves change color and how everything in nature seems to slow down, as if it’s finding peace with the closure of a cycle. Just think about it—it’s so beautiful, isn't it?

Alongside these deeper thoughts about the little things, my creative autumn vibes are fully here! My boyfriend probably doesn't feel the mood as intensely as I do, but our front door has been covered in pumpkins and small fall decorations for a couple of weeks now.

I'll soon get back to you with a really cute Fall doormat DIY idea that you can try yourself to make your front door feel a little more like the "autumn era."

Not to mention my serious craving for anything that’s apple-cinnamon combined with caramel drizzled everything!

But okay, back to what I actually wanted to share with you: my new keychains, which are live as we speak and ready to purchase in my Etsy store!

Each keychain is entirely handmade by me, from the letter cut-out to the final decoration with rocaille beads. And the best part for you is that it’s fully customizable by letter and color combination.

These are perfect to gift as stocking fillers—if we stay in that holiday season vibe. To be honest, that's exactly what autumn always makes me feel; I suddenly want to start crocheting Christmas gifts for my loved ones! (Sorry for the little distraction!)

As I said, the keychains are ideal for a quick small gift, a baby shower, a little thank you, or anything in between.

I am so excited that these are finally live! Honestly, like with most things in life, I felt incredibly insecure about the product and whether I should start selling it—or if you would love to purchase it. If my head had been the guide here, the answer would have been a definite no.

So, the fact that the product is actually out there is a victory in itself! I just truly hope you love it as much as I do.

The keychains are €10.99 each and will be unique, just like you or the person you’re going to gift it to. Since I make all of them myself, there might be slight imperfections. But doesn't a little uniqueness just make something prettier ?

If you've made it this far, thank you so much for sticking with me!

I truly can't wait to get back to you, as promised, with my first Fall DIY inspiration—and probably a lot more small talk about everything that keeps me going.

Until then, stay beautiful!

Lots of love,
