Friday is my Day: The Drifter Leather

Jaa
Hello all and happy fall & winter season! This is Tatiana from ILaBoom and I will be taking care of this wonderful column as long as needed :) I am very happy to present to you, all these wonderful artists talking about their (and mine to tell you the truth) favorite day, Friday! This Friday 3 amazing and talented girls from Northern Greece, The Drifter Leather team will keep us company!

 Hello! We are Maria, Callie and Christiana a.k.a. The Drifter Leather  team. We live in Thessaloniki, a city by the sea in Northern Greece. We live together and with our father, Maria's husband in a house we call home. We also work together making shoes and handmade leather accessories. Today we  are going to share with you one day of our lives.



08:00 Callie, Maria, Christianna, is time for us to wake up. The view out of our window reminds us that fall is almost over and Christmas are coming. We are drinking our morning coffee (we <3 coffee) and checking out our Etsy shop, our Blog and our FB page. So excited we sold two tobacco pouches, today!


This is our view from our window. Our neighborhood, Pylaia still looks like a village!




09:00 "Callie is having her regular graphic design lesson while Maria is going  for shoe work at our workshop in our garage and Christianna is packaging the tobacco pouches that we sold. She soon will be leaving for the post office and for the grocery shopping.




14:00 Callie, Maria and Christianna are cooking together. Cooking is a great challenge for the three of us. We usually cook together or watch one another cooking! We love spice and greek cuisine."




17:00 "Callie and Christianna  are setting a photoshoot for our shops. Callie's passion is photography! She has been photoshooting bands and models the last 3 years! Maria is creating a treasury collection and browsing the internet.




18:00 "Our evening coffee! Talking about our accessories designs and collection. Scheduling our Christmas designs. Also talking about our studies and lives!"





19:00 "Christianna is rehearsing and composing. She is studying music and lately has been trying to create her own music."




"Maria is crafting a custom design. We love it when we get special requests from customers. It's a great challenge for us and it's so satisfying to create the customer's dream accessory." 




"Callie is practicing on sketching and on using the graphic design software."


 

22:00 "Christianna, Callie and Maria  are watching a movie. We all love comedies and romantic movies so we never argue about which movie we are going to watch!"




24:00 "It is bed time for all of us! It was a busy day, Friday is definitely our Day!"
