Lovely prints and originals from Carambatack's shop at Etsy...

The creator of these works is Annette, who lives in Norway and has also made some really cute magnets based on her illustrations!

Blowing Whale!

This chalkboard from Suddenly, it's Real is really cute for children... you can even fit a piece of chalk in it's blow hole!!!! Too bad it's already sold out at etsy... but I believe there will be more coming out, huh?

Ah, and I just found this cute pig chalkboard at their site!!

Mirror, mirror on my bag...

It's always nice to carry around a mirror on your purse, so I would definetly reccomend these adorable ones from Mary Kilvert's shop at Etsy.

Inspiration...

Feeling inspired today? Beautiful pics by Philip Newton.

I'm like a bird!

I am so into the Threadless Project, a site where graphic designers can post illustrations that get voted to become tees! Browsing through the site I found these gorgeous design pieces from Lim Swee. Enjoy!

Blue Hippo Patch

Sooooooooo cute! Blue Hippo handmade patches from Germany @ Lydismodesign shop in Dawanda.

I also fancied these dog ones specially for children's clothing.

L'Occitane Dream Trip Tip

Gosh, I recently found out that L'Occitane has an open tour at their factory for tourists! Ain't that just amazing?

Spending an afternoon checking out how their products are made in the heart of Provence... dreamy!

Princess...

If you're feeling like a Princess, this lovely bracelet from Sublime Design will do you just fine...
Soooo sweet! Available here @ Etsy.

Peruvian food goes mainstream

São Paulo, Brazil, is becoming every day a little bit more Peruvian. Since Shimo opened its doors bringing us our first nipo-peruvian restaurant experiences, tastes such as ceviche, pisco and causas became every day closer.

I wouldn't think it is too much saying Peruvian is the new Japanese.

Food is just like fashion today, and no better restaurant to show this than La Mar, covered with wood from flooring to its walls and with very charming blue chairs... I'm just dying to go there!

Sweet little bags!

I found these cute little bags from Linda at Dawanda.

They come from Norway... aren't they just lovely?

My birds!

So I finally got some time to post some pics of my first sewn birds, with a little personal touch: a lace.

The key here is finding the right contrasting fabrics to create your bird.

I'm so in love with making them (it is so easy to sew!) that we'll probably be seeing much of them in the next few weeks...

Sewing!

I've had an old sewing machine at home for years and we believed it was about time to send it to the repair shop and make it brand new again. And we did it this week.

Now I've been busy trying to find out interesting craftsy projects to use it, and just ran into these lovely fabric birds from Spool (free pattern here). I'm just finishing my first one!

Urban Barroque

Dawanda has some wonderful handmade fashion accessoires such as this silk-screened barroque-inspired chandelier scarf and golden owl printed one. Both of them are from Pretty Raccoon's Toronto based shop.

Besides those, she still has lovely tops and totes on her site... I just wanna have them all...!!

Chaming pieces!

Tilly Bloom's shop at Etsy has lots of lovely pieces for sale, featuring pendants, brooches, earrings, bracelets and so on...

Her drawings look very much like the works of Fornasetti...

Sale!

Now, what can be better than finding great design for really great prices? I was browsing through Flowie and found some lovely bags for half price.

Not only that, though: take a look at the fabrics and tea towels as well. I just need all of them!

Somewhat Folk

Ever heard of Mallu Magalhães? This 16-year old girl is now one of the new names in folk music in Brazil.

I actually didn't like many of her songs, but give her a chance and check out this one: Tchubaruba.
