Her daughter Meltem Kılıç accompanies her. The determination of the mother and daughter is an inspiration to all housewives.
“THANK YOU TO OUR MAYOR VEYSEL”
Mother Esma Acar, explaining that she decided to start designing jewelry when she started to get bored spending time at home, said that the course she attended completely changed her life. Acar said, “While looking for a hobby, I learned about a jewelry design course and immediately enrolled. Then my daughter joined me. Later, we started coming to the Handmade Products Market together to sell the products we made. We have a nice atmosphere here, we've made friends. We meet our household needs with the income we earn. We have both a hobby and an income.”
Acar also called on housewives to make use of their free time. Acar expressed her gratitude to Altındağ Municipality and Mayor Veysel Tiryaki for providing them with this opportunity.
“WE HAVE A WARM AND FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE AT THE HANDMADE PRODUCTS MARKET”
Meltem Kılıç, who said she has a great interest in jewelry design like her mother, stated, “I do various works with enamel, copper, silver, and natural stones. We offer our handmade products for sale in a warm and friendly atmosphere. I recommend that housewives take up a hobby. I believe that artistic works develop the brain, strengthen memory, and also make people more social.” Kılıç continued his statement with the following words:
“We opened our stands featuring Mother's Day special gifts at the Handicrafts Market. It received great interest. Students and children came and bought gifts for their mothers with their pocket money. Thanks to this, we experienced many happy and beautiful memories. We invite everyone who wants to buy a gift for their mother to the Handicrafts Market.”
