about

Hi there, 

My name is Anca, and this is “The Tales of a Simple Girl,” the place where I share all my stories. I hope to inspire you to pursue your creativity and live a happy life in a simple way.

In July 2014, I created a blog where I shared all my DIYs, from jewellery to handmade bags made out of magazines, and all my stories about my travels because around the same time, I moved to Denmark.

I am Romanian, and in 2013, I decided to leave my country for many reasons, but mostly because I had a traumatic childhood. I wanted to escape and discover who I am, what I want, and what I have to do.

I started documenting my journey, and I managed to bring lots of people together, creating a beautiful community and forming amazing friendships.

Over time, as I’ve reviewed my blog posts, I’ve noticed that I’m most passionate about discussing five major topics:

DIY
Books
Home Decor @whitegreenandgold
Bullet Journal @ancagvbulletjournal
Sewing @thetalesofasimplegirl

For each topic, I’ve created a dedicated Instagram account, with the desire that people can easily find the inspiration they need.

Of all these topics, I am happy to say that sewing is the biggest hobby in my life. I taught myself to sew when I was young. I acquired every piece of knowledge through practice, made mistakes, and ruined many fabrics, but I never stopped.

In March 2020, when the pandemic started, I shifted my focus to transforming the blog into an actual website, serving as a portfolio. This decision came about because my collection of handmade clothes was steadily growing, and each piece had a unique story that deserved to be shared.

Today, my focus is on telling stories about a bit of everything. I will strive to inspire everyone in the way I would have wanted to be inspired many years ago. I hope you will follow me, and together we can create a better universe.

With love, Anca GV
