Nice hippie picture

Found this funny hippie picture on an interesting blog that you can visit here. I really like this blog, it is a lot of my style.

FREEKUENCY

Puff! Here I"m back from one week of Freekuency festival. 
It was really great, I have met many friends that I didn't see for a long time. My boyfriend and I have sold our t-shirts, made a lovely little eating place where we sold pancakes, sandwiches and natural fruit juices and I have sold a lot of my handcraft! I'm so happy it went so well! And the whole festival was for free, with life bands, theater, electronic music and much more! I really had a lot of fun!
Soon I will put some nice pictures here for you to enjoy!

BUSY BUSY BUSY and tired...

Puf! My boyfriend and I have been very beasy making new designs for our t-shirts that we sell. Because this weekend we will be having fun and selling on the Freekuency festival! Oooohhh I´m looking forwards for this already so long! I´ll be seeing friends that I haven´t seen in a long time. I´m going to sell my handycraft, secondhand clothes, our new cool t-shirts and we will be making a little bar selling yummie pancakes, tortillas, fruit or milkshakes coffee and some nice tea. But oh my oh, what an organization to have all our stuff ready this week! I will try to post some fun pictures from the festival when I´m there.  :) And some nice pictures from our t-shirts to!

Amelie au theatre

This pretty lady I found on the Lisbon Tailor blog, she has a real fun web site, called Amelie au theatre where she sells lovely things she makes.

VUDU SHOES

 

These beautiful shoes are from VUDU. My friend Sara works for this brand and they have got some nice boots and wedges for a good price! Go and check it out!

Tea for breakfast

I just love tea! My day always starts with a cup of earl grey tea, with a bit of milk and a spoon of sugar wich my sweet boyfriend makes for me everyday.

 In the first picture you can see a yellow thé au jasmin package, it is a jasmin tea my mother brought for me from Thailand,

behind it is a green tea I bought in spain, actually very cheap, just 1,50€! Next to that package is a gun powder green tea, wich is almost finished and you can see my tea mug with a blue dragon on it. This mug I already use for years and hope I will use it for many more years!

                                                               My little tea corner 

This tea I bought in france last year. It is a biological white vanilla tea, I thought it would be very nice but actually it ain´t so nice! Oh, well the tin box is just beautiful! 

This is an old Pickwick (dutch brand of the best teas ever!) tea tin box. It is very cute because it represents a little tea shop and has pictures on all sides.

Here are just some more tin cans where I keep tea and sweets. I love tin boxes or cans and have got already a little collection!

ART is the key!

WAUW! I´ve found a dutch ilustrator, she is a great artist and makes the most beautiful drawings! Her name is Marjolein and you can find her here.

Beautiful!

This beautiful butterfly was in love with the green clothespin. It was realy funny to see it flying around it because it was there for a long time, thinking the clothespin was a flower or plant.

I just love butterflys!

This picture I took yesterday from the goats from my neighbour. They were resting on top of the rocks and I found it very funny how they were lying there. Every morning I can hear them pass by, with there rattles making a lot of noise!

Mimosa

I took this picture from some lovely mimosa I´ve got in my living room. It is there already for one month, a friend gave it to me for my birthday and it still looks lovely! This is one of my favorite flowers because it floresces at the time of my birthday. Other flower I love is lavender, wich is a great flower for people who have problems with sleeping. If you put some lavender oil on your pillow or if you have one of those sweet little baggy´s with the flower in side of it and put this in your pillow, for sure you will sleep much better! Another flower I love are roses, but wich girl doesn´t like roses!?

NEW NECKLACES

Finaly I have finished some nice necklaces. These beauties are made with macrame knots with a very strong waxed string and beautiful semi-precious stones. Come and see some more in my shop!

B-day pictures

Finally here are the pictures from my birthday already from one month ago, but they are real fun!

 I had a lot of fun with my friends and boyfriend and I have to thank all of my friends that they came and shared there love with me on this psecial day.

Love you all!

ZOMBIE

This is my friend Claudia doing a crazy photo session with the photographer Fernando Ramos.

She is very special because she always, since I knew her for the first time (and I know her already a long time), had her own crazy and diferent style. I love it! If you want to see more of her pictures go here.

ThreadSence

WAUW! I´ve discovered the perfect shopping site! ThreadSence is just my kind of style, with the most beautiful and cuttest clothing, with lovely floral prints, crocheted tops and cuttest jewelry. You can find them here http://www.threadsence.com take a look and have fun!
Sorry I didn´t get any pictures to put here and show you, they didn´t leave me do it.

This guy has some real talent! He makes beautiful art work with cristals, gems and stones all together knotted with macramé.
I love it because I also am working really hard on a new collection necklaces macramé. Soon, when every thing is ready I´ll put them here in my shop.

My B-day cakes

This picture I found was taken by my friend Paulo on my birthday. I am holding here two lovely cakes I made. One with chocolate and the another one with Medronho. Medronho is a strong homemade liquer made of the little red medronho fruit. The cakes were so nice that they disapeared very quickly!

Dart Photographie

This lovely picture was taken by Laura Dart. She takes such a lovely and dreamy pictures from people, that they all look like they are taken out of a fairytail. You can see more of her beautiful work on her blog. I fell in love with her work! hhhmmm have to get a good camera myself...

New necklaces!

I´ve been working realy hard on some new macramé necklaces. They are just gorgeous! I´m using colored waxed string and semi-precious stones. It takes me several hours to just make one, but the result makes me very happy! As soon I get the card reader I will be putting them in my shop!

Here are some funny pictures I found, because I haven´t got the cardreader jet to show my own pictures...




Pussy Cats...prrrrr miauw!



That´s me!


Isn´t this the cuttest and handy ring you have ever seen?!


I just love this girls style!!!


Paint is so much fun! (my favorite thing to do, paint and paint and paint...)


Imagine a world without music...life wouldn´t be so much fun (sorry for the deff people, this is no discrimination)

FULL MOON

.

Today – March 19 – features the closest full moon of 2011. Some are calling it a supermoon. As a result, you might look for higher-than-usual tides along the ocean coastlines throughout the world.
Because the moon – as always – shines opposite the sun in our sky at full moon, you’ll see the moon beaming all night tonight from dusk until dawn. This extra-close full moon is likely to usher in large tides along the ocean shorelines for the next several days, especially if these high tides are accompanied by strong onshore winds.
Why is this moon so close? The reason is that the 2011 March full moon falls on the same date as perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth for the month. At perigee today, the moon lies only 356,575 kilometers (221,575 miles) away. Earlier this month, on March 6, the moon swung to apogee – its farthest point for the month. At that time, the moon was 406,583 kilometers (252,639 miles) distant.
March 19, 2011 presents the moon’s closest encounter with Earth since December 12, 2008. The moon won’t come this close again until November 14, 2016. The extra-close moon in all of these years – 2008, 2011 and 2016 – finds the full moon occurring on the same date as lunar perigee. More often than not, the closest perigee of the year comes on the day that the full moon and perigee coinicide.
How often does the full moon coincide with perigee? Closest full moons recur in cycles of 14 lunar (synodic) months, because 14 lunar months almost exactly equal 15 returns to perigee. A lunar month refers to the time period between successive full moons, a mean period of 29.53059 days. An anomalistic month refers to successive returns to perigee, a period of 27.55455 days. Hence:


14 x 29.53059 days = 413.428 days


15 x 27.55455 days = 413.318 days


This time period is equal to about 1 year, 1 month, and 18 days. The full moon and perigee will realign again on May 6, 2012, because the 14th full moon after today’s full moon will fall on that date.


(I got this information from: http://earthsky.org/tonight/high-tide-alert-closest-full-moon-of-2011-on-march-19)


It is just great to look at this full moon. I was observing it with my binoculars and could see it very well. It is so exciting!
I´ve also put my cristals at the moon light to clean them and give them new pure energy.
Go out there, take some minutes and enjoy this lovely full moon!

What a sunny day!

MMMMM today it is the first hot day, I´m realy enjoing it, it makes me so happy. I realy needed it, I have been a bit sad this winter, but since my birthday and since I´ve been visiting my dad and my friends in Évora things are getting brighter by each day :-)
I´m having new plans and that keeps me up.
MMMMMM I just love the sun!!!

Cristal Workshop

Monday I went to a workshop about cristals. It was realy great! The two dutch ladies who gave the workshop were so kind and calm, explaining every thing about cristals and how you should use them, how you can clean there energy by meditation, putting them under need the earth or just directly at the full moon light. It was a very special experience for me and it did do me very good. You can visit one of the ladies blog cavalo-de-vento.blogspot.com 
Soon I would like to make a page just about cristals also, but it will take a lot of work to photograf al of my cristals, so when I´m ready it will be great!

Me on a sunny day...this is already an old picture and not the best quality, but I really like this picture and I found it today.

Suprise!

Last Saturday I surprised my daddy whose birthday it was. I only arrived in the middle of the night while he was sleeping, and he was very surprised but happy to see me and I was very happy to spend his birthday with him.
I did spend some good days in Monchique! Carnaval was a lot of fun also! Monday I got together with some friends and had some drinks at some nice bars in Monchique. There were a lot of people who were dressed up, it is a pity I didn´t have my photo camera, because there were some nice costumes. There were some guys dressed up as Lego man, it was so funny! I also got dressed up, but nothing special. I had my cute pink dress on, some nice make-up and a silver mask. ooooo I had so much fun!
Yesterday I surprised my best friend Raquel, it was also her birthday and she kind of suspected that I would come because I was always calling her boyfriend to combine with him picking me up from the bus in Évora.
She was so happy! I made her a lovely salmon lasagna and a chocolate cake, it was a great dinner with Casal Garcia bubbly white wine mmmmmm. After we played Monopoly until three o clock in the morning, just like in the old days!

Hangover

The party went on untill monday and still some friends are pasing by these days, having barbecues and the hangover from this injection of happines. Thank you all so much my dear friends for coming by! It made me so happy having you all here and receiving all of your love.
I had the biggest B-day cake full of cream, it was delicious, thank you Paulo and Solange!
Everything was great, the best party ever!
Pictures will come soon, after I get that damn cardreader!
Love you all, have a nice week!  :-)
