Look who has just arrived from NYC!

We´re back! Thanks for all the nice comments.´Twas lovely in NY. Lots of things to do and see. Lots of people to meet.Lots of shopping to do!
***
Shop note: All the delayed orders from the shoppe have been sent today. We are going to have a great re-stock by the end of the month, as well as a fun new limited edition item (^-=) and a HUGE outlet sale!

*The shoppe:

Thanks so much for your orders and love this week! I´m almost sold out of everything (but we´re working hard to refill the shop as soon as possible). Cécile brooches have proven to be the most popular items, as well as monkey necklaces (only a couple left of this).

*News! I´m going to NY! When? Now! I´ll be away until Friday next week. It is a bussiness trip, but there should be time for fun as well!
Would you like to recommend a place in NY? Would you like to meet me in NY, if you live there? Just leave a comment or email me. I will have access to the internet all the time.

We´re going with a tight schedule but i want to make time for everything. However, i´m going to miss this...

(a lot) sigh...

Tropical fruit, sunny caribbean!

Yay! Wellcome to chicadecanela´s 7th collection: Tropical fruit, sunny caribbean!
What is this collection all about?
Well, its title says it all: warm and dreamy summers in the Caribbean,
yummy fruits, happy colors and natural materials:
vintage rope and yute, leather, bone and wood beads, aged metals, linen, lots of crochet pieces...
It has been so fun working on this collection, now i hope that you enjoy it!

This is the pineapple pouch. It is hand crocheted in-house using egyptian cotton
and vintage rope. It features a clever adjustable leather handle so the bag can be carried over the shoulder,
across the chest or like a mini-backpack, with the 2 big bright yellow wooden beads dangling playfully.
It is lined in bright orange natural linen.
This pattern is not original, but adapted from a vintage 70´s book, i hope we have given it a more sophisticated twist!

Really, can you believe it? This handbag is made out of real south american sack cloth!
We can not guarantee if it comes from Colombia or Costa Rica but that it once held coffee beans, that´s for sure! Plus, it features vintage purse frame clasp, metallic chain long enough to wear across the chest and bright cotton lining; AND, the cherry charm comes with it, for free! Sure!


Who is this? Whoa, it´s Cécile, of course!
This is the new Cécile "Cherry Momma" or Cécile "Caribbean Beauty" as you like it.
This time Cécile has gone south and she is dark and lovely, with heavy eyelids and pouty lips!
So charming! I must confess this is one of my favorite "ceciles" so far.
Oh! And this one comes not only as a necklace but as a brooch and hangbag charm also :)


The new character from the chicadecanela menagerie is this cute monkey girl.
She is hand crocheted and comes in the company of a veritable jungle of findings, beads and bric-a-brac, including cherries and crochet pineapples! There´s the necklace and there´s the handbag charm. And we have some pineapple earrings too...


... and cherry earrings! And hair accessories! And a cherry charm!
And this is all that i can show you,
i hope that you like it!
