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!! :)

My Coffee Etsy Finds ♥

Today's post is linked up to a very nice blog that I recently started to follow: Pointing Up  . 

We are going to share our love for coffee.. I couldn't not participate..as I am one of those who cannot live without Coffee!! I had already posted about it a few months ago, teaching the way I make a delicious Cappuccino.. {you can find it here}.  Every morning I have to have my huge cup of Caffe'Latte.

So, I decided to share a few of my "Coffee Etsy Finds" {I love the Etsy Finds' newsletter!! I'm always hoping to be in it... who knows.. maybe one day..}. 

I will start with my last creation.. my newest Cozy! The Ladybug on a Rainy Cloud cozy. It's still pretty hot here in California, but I know that the rainy days are getting very close....

I cannot resist this coffee-pot.. the color.. the enamel.. the 50's look.. I'm a big fan of vintage!

Vintage Lovely Girls.

Hello everyone!!! I made it safely to Denver, my husband's hometown! I'm very happy to be able to spend the summer here.. I will probably write something about this beautiful city in one of my next posts..

Today I want to share with you a few pictures from one of my favorite Vintage Shops on etsy: NaturePoet.

Mary, the owner, has a great taste for unique and selected items. I love the images she sells, I will share with you those I like the most. 

First of all.. the pretty Lady with the Umbrella. Look how gorgeous she looks! I saw her yesterday in my "etsy feed" and I had the inspiration to write about this shop. It looks like she just came out of the movie "My Fair Lady" with Audrey Hepburn.. :)

Lady with Umbrella

This girl is just so sweet. I love her perfectly curled hair and the red poppies on her hat! Isn't she gorgeous?


Lady Beautiful Hat with Poppies

And another beautiful girl.... she reminds me of Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility, one of my favorite actresses and movies ever. I like her big pink bow and the pretty ring on her pinky finger. She's adorable!♥

Beautiful Lady in Hat

Last but not least... the Tulip Fairy!!!! I LOVE her! She's part of a collection of "Flower Fairies".. I know that because some dear Italian friends have a few old plates on their dining room's wall portraying these pretty fairies... I remember I used to stare at them and look at all the cute details.

Well, I just want to thank Mary, from NaturePoet for allowing me to write about her beautiful shop!!! I hope you all go check it out.. there is much more than this!!!!! Enjoy!!!
