Pouches. {and a giveaway}

Who knows if there's still someone who reads my blog.... but it's ok, I write it anyway, whenever I can! :)

The little struggles of my everyday life didn't stop me from working in my little shop. I've been recently inspired by super cute fabrics and I ordered some directly from Japan! I think they have some of the cutest prints and the quality of their cotton is incredible. I have made a few pouches, all listed in my SHOP.

There will be more to come!

If you want to WIN my Ladybug Ruffled POUCH {together with other amazing prizes} you can enter the giveaway below!!

Good Luck!!!

Typewriter & necklace GiveAway!!

It was yesterday when I was speaking to my son about typewriters... he was asking me about how they work, how can they print the letters on the paper, how hard you need to push the buttons... I was able to explain every detail, as I used to have one when I was younger. I remember changing the ink tape, sometimes a fancier one that could also type in red! He was fascinated by my story... a little 9 year-old who has only known computers keyboards that don't need any ink to type and that are so easy to use.

Well, this morning I was happy and surprised to see this Giveaway going on at lisaleonard.com . She's giving away one of her beautiful necklaces {if you are not familiar with her work you MUST check out her shop!!} AND a vintage typewriter!!!! I just entered to win... and I really hope I do, so I could show my son that typewriters are REAL!! :)

Sponsor's Feature & Giveaway on Valentine's Day!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

After a lot of traveling via plane and via car.. I'm finally back home!! I've been to a wonderful retreat, I've seen people I love and many people I admire. We have also been ALL sick, me, my husband and the children.. so we are very happy to be home now, it's true that.. there is no place like home!!

I promised you a Giveaway from one of my wonderful and very patient sponsors!!

Please meet.... LaCasetaDePaper !!!!

 

I asked Laura, the creator of adorable little tags and cards, to share a little bit about herself. Maybe I'm just a curious person, but I like to get to know people, even just a little.

This is what she said:

-Please tell us who you are.

My name is Laura, and I've been blogging at La Caseta de Paper for a few months now. Mostly, I'd define myself as a fan of all the little things: watching a sunset, the smell of the grass after the storm, or a warm coffee in a winter day. I try to lead a life as simple as possible, because that's what really makes me happy.

-When did you start creating for your beautiful shop?

I started around October last year. I've always liked to be active in several communities online, and since I loved Etsy and everything handmade, I decided to give it a try and start my own show too.

-What is your inspiration?

Most of what I do is very minimalist, it's a style I really like and I try to keep all the items on the same line.

-What else do you like to do for fun?

Two of my favorite activities are photography and snail-mailing. The reason I like both of them is because they help me staying creative. I also love yoga and mountain-biking.

-Tell me one funny thing about you.

I have a weird OCD when walking up/down the stairs: the last step always needs to be touched with the right food. 

-Tell me one of your dreams.

I'd love the have a little house close enough to the ocean to be able to go surfing every day.

 

Thank you Laura!!!! It's my pleasure to have you here!!

And thank you for the opportunity for any of my readers to win a 2 months AD SPACE on your BLOG!!

Please enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway below!! And Good Luck!!!!

Longing for Fall

Is it really FALL? It sure doesn’t feel like it here in California. This morning it was a little cloudy and the air was fresh.. almost chilly.. but just after a few hours.. back to the normal 90 degrees!!

Well, I baked all day anyways… {my husband not too happy about it, ‘cause the oven makes our little house SOOO hot!}… a yummi baked pasta for lunch and cupcake brownies for merenda {aka snack} accompanied by my Cappuccino. I took a picture to show the beautiful coasters I recently won in a Giveaway. Look at them!! They were made by Heather Rains, a sweet girl from California who writes about her life in her wonderful BLOG. Aren’t they sweet? I love the retro flower design…

A few days ago I won another giveaway… it’s so much fun and I feel so blessed to receive little gifts from all over the place!! Every time it happens I think it’s a present from Heaven to bright up my day.

I’m also happy to tell you that I’m giving away another COZY from my shop. You will be able to pick the one you like the most! If you’re interested.. go check out the awesomeness  of  this GIVEAWAY.. on Kristine’s Blog!! You’ll love all the prizes…

Well, it’s getting late and my chores are calling me… I want to finish this post with a beautiful quote from St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, one of my favorite Saints. {Today we celebrate His feast}. And also a beautiful picture of what Fall should normally look like…. =)

"Oh, how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praiseworthy manner! (PADRE PIO)

I wish you all a beautiful week!
