Presenting City Creations

Magnolia Collection

Who are you?
My name is Terri Boschman. I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I absolutely love creating. I enjoy looking at the world around me, finding and appreciating beauty around every corner. I started taking pictures a few years ago while on a trip to the UK with my husband. It was so amazing to see such architecture and gardens that had lasted through so many years. This inspired me to start capturing this beauty both in my travels and in my home city. I take my camera nearly everywhere I go and continue to learn more about it whenever possible.

How long have you been selling on Etsy?
I started in May of this year.

What made you decide to open up shop?
A friend introduced me to Etsy after seeing my photo cards. It has been fun to have a new outlet to sell my cards, puppets and pouches. I have since loved shopping on Etsy. There are so many beautiful handmade items on this site. It is my new favorite place to buy gifts for friends and loved ones. I am very proud to have a shop in such a diverse marketplace.

How did you decide on your shop name?
The shop name was a challenging process for me. Long story short, I decided on CityCreations because I live in downtown Vancouver and I love to create.

Spring Blossoms

What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
My favorite item in my shop is a photo card titled ‘Under the Burrard Street Bridge’. I took this shot when we moved downtown about a year ago. This represents many walks along the seawall with my husband and my camera. I love the intersecting pattern of lines.

What are some of your favorite stores from other sellers on Etsy?
JustPotters is one of my favorite shops on Etsy. Every week I volunteer in their studio. Please note $.50 from every single card and $1.00 from every card set sold will go to an amazing social enterprise called JustPotters. Check them out at www.justwork.etsy.com.

DaRosa is another shop that I have just discovered. I really like the simplicity of these paintings and the bright colors.
