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 jewelry to handmade bags made out of magazines, and all my stories about my travelers because around the same time I moved to Denmark.

I am a 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 manage to bring lots of people together creating a beautiful community and forming amazing friendships.

Over time, based on what I’ve blogged, I’ve noticed that I like to talk passionately about five big topics:

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

For each topic, I created a dedicated Instagram account, my desire being that people can find easily the inspo they needed.

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

In March 2020 when the pandemic started, I focused on transforming the blog into an actual website, serving as a portfolio because my collection of handmade clothes started growing and each piece had a unique story that deserved to be shared.

Today I will focus on telling stories about a bit of everything. I will try 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
