Puces POP!

It was a long month of preparation and hard work but at the end all was worth it!

Last weekend I was one of the many local vendors of my favouirte craft show -Puces POP- for the first time ever.

It was awesome: the other vendors, the visitors, the sales, the energy, the company, the gained experience, the new discoveries, the change to get to know the people who likes and wears my jewelry, the insight of the direct feedback, opinions and potential market and so on. I'm extremely happy to have been part of it this time around!

So thanks so much Marilis and Tessa from Puces POP for giving me the chance to be part of it and being so nice!

Thanks to all who visited my table, specially to Norma from Cara Carmina (my table-neighbour), my friend M. for the help and company, Karlita, John, Sophia, Guisela, Anrea, Penelope, Jean-Yves, Marlenne, Shannon and Andrea!

And specially, thanks to my adored husband and daughter for all the help and patience!

Happy, happy, yay!

Unexpected

How cool is to receive an unexpected note, gift or visit from a dear friend? noting beats the feeling of knowing someone special thinks of you and appreciate you.

I felt that way the other day when I received a wonderful package all the way from Mexico from my friend RosaMaria :D I was so excited I couldn't resist to take a bunch of photos of her lovely gift, so beautifully packed and full of adorable things made by her!

RosaMaria is an incredible talented girl, with a passion for fabric and sewing, an eye for beautiful things and most important of all, with the kindest heart.

Isn't lovely?! she send me a tissue holder and the fabric has a cloud pattern, a super cute tape with illustrated apples, a card with illustration of cute houses (!!), a super cute fabric bag and one of my favorite mexican candy, chiclosos! and all lovely packed and labeled with tags of her own making. Isn't she sweet? Mil gracias RosaMaria!!!

And if you want to check out the gorgeous things RosaMaria makes, please visit her shop, 464 Handmade on Etsy! or go to her blog where you'll find beautiful photos and lost of inspiration :)

Bits of this and that

One of my favorite birthday gifts this year was an iphone my husband gave me (although it's hard to decide as this year he truly payed attention to my "hints" and wishlist! hehehe). I'm in love with the thing. It's so cool to be able to check out my facebook or twitter everywhere, but mostly, I love the cool photo aps!

As I haven't made many blog updates lately, I though I'd make a resume, with images, of what I've been up to in the last month.

Around the house

Places and spaces

Outside

Lots of beer and lots of sweets

Work...

Thanks for visiting, I hope you have a great day!

Ages later...

Oh my, my. It's been AGES! how are you?! I'm glad to be here and say hi to you :D

I missed my blog but I've been so crazy with work and stuff that I had to set it aside for calmer times.

I'm working very hard for Puces POP, which is a super cool craft fair (part of POP Montreal music festival), my favourite in Montreal because there are always so many awesome local designers selling their creations at puces. So proud to be part of it this time! That's the reason I've been like crazy :) I'm very excited!

I also wanted to tell you I have new vintage rings listed on my shop :) I hope you liked them! I even have a super cool set of four rings, if you like vintage rings, you don't want to miss it!

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a great week!
