Á Paris

Wow, it´s been a long while... ¡Sorry! >_>

Have i talked about the * Á Paris * collection?


This is a very limited collection of items based around which is possibly the cutest fabric in the world: yes! The fabric is by Japanese brand Lecien, and it´s called 'French Buvard' and inspired by vintage french advertisements. So it´s kind like french through Hello Kitty, just like i like it! I imported this fabric directly from Japan and i really have a very limited batch: it´s going fast and, although i´m happy that people loves it, i´m also sad to see it go (but i´m keeping some for myself :) Before sewing the actual pieces, i put all the elements together and they looked so gorgeous:


You just had to make something with it! Two different Lecien´s 'French Buvard' printed cottons, a 'grid' patterned fabric in reds and blues and 'marine' polkadots over creamy white in a delicious cotton/linen mix. So lovely! And notions like the polkadotted ribbons, special buttons and beads... the cutest parisian world ever ^.^

The * Á Paris * collection is still available in my own on-line

Au Revoir!

Hello! So good to see you! {So good to be seen...you know what i mean?} :p

I´ve just received the loveliest gift from Natacha Matic for my birthday. Look!:
Ain´t it the prettiest cup&saucer set that you´ve ever seen? So gorgeous! Besides her lovely brooches, which i adore, and which can be found in her shop and also in chicadecanela´s shop, she makes cute small objects for the home, like vases, cups, bowls... she is so talented! And look at the handtags that she sent along, très jolis! And there were some other surprises, including the latest Marie Claire Idées! I feel so lucky to have such a great friend from La France Y
