Have a Fabulous Weekend!!!

Dress Up Your Shoes!

Every woman has some romanticism in her soul. What do you think??? For some of us this part is very strong, for some of us just a little, someone thinks she doesn't have... But it's not true! Sometimes we keep our romantic nature behind the seven keys, because some day in a past we've learned we MUST be strong to survive in this world...

I'd like to show you some accessories belong to ROMANTICISM, Shoe Clips!
 

Shoe Clips are wonderful way to do makeover of your footwear. Simple, classic and pretty boring shoes turns out sexy and elegant with some touch of romanticism. Doesn't it?

These lovelies come from Romantic Garden Collection and they are made of vintage fabric and hand dyed tattered natural silk. The butterfly charm is copper.

ENJOY!!!

Let's go to watch video and listen one of the most beautiful songs ever...

Enchanted

I'm enchanted by JACARANDA! These wonderful trees usually are blooming in May and then Lisbon sparkles of blue and purple-blue...

Because of my obsession of wonderful trees, I created "Enchanted" Vintage style Earrings and Bracelet.

Materials I've used for Earrings - Lucite, Brass, Copper plated over brass ear wires and natural freshwater Pearls.

In this asymmetrical vintage style bracelet I've used handmade by me Fimo polymer clay flower beads - large Ranunculus, about 1 1/2 inch in diameter, four Tulips and two Calla Lilies. There is plenty of Lucite flowers and Lucite leaf, my lovelies Swarovski crystal beads, Czech glass leaves, hearts and crackle beads, a few natural Amethyst rounds, Mauve freshwater Pearls, two mother of pearl shell rounds. As metal parts I've used jewelers Brass and Copper.
The bracelet is bold and chunky. And (of course) one-of-a-kind :)
All charms make nice sound when you move your hand!


ENJOY!!!

VACATION... Let's Go to PORTUGAL!

As I posted above, I'm participating in Vacation Cruise organized by my darling blog friend Colleen from ddna. Already we've visited The Netherlands, Italy, Canada and France. Oh, it's so nice to see what everyone shows about their country! :)

Today we have a stop in Portugal. That's my place! So let's go to see a bit of this beautiful country from mine point of view...

What do I really love about Portugal it's NATURE. 

The blue of Sky and Atlantic Ocean changes every time and we can see all tones of this wonderful color's palette...

And flowers!!! Actually they are blooming during all year... but, you are lucky to be here in Spring. In this period of the year they are the most beautiful. And fresh smell of Orange trees rising up throw the air...

Also you can visit The Lisbon Zoo - wonderful place especially if do you come with kiddo.

Did you know that Portuguese people are coffee lovers? Their favorite is Café Espresso, they go to the closest coffee shop a few times per day and almost never drink coffee at home. The cup is very small and coffee is very strong!

Portuguese like to meat friends out of their houses and usually they stay in a coffee shop. There they are watching Football games on TV, drinking bear and eating CARACÕIS (snails) - one of the favorite Portuguese dainty.  

Do you want to try? :)

Portuguese have their own music genre called FADO. The first records of this music was written in the early 19th century, but history says that roots of FADO can find much earlier. In the years of 1840s FADO appeared in Lisbon.

Through centuries Portuguese fadistas sing songs about their hard life, saudades (missing someone or something) and suffering...

On the video you can see one of the most popular Fado singer in nowadays - MARIZA

Portugal is famous with a painted, tin-glazed, Ceramic Tilework AZULEJO. You can find it everywhere - inside and outside, on walls, floors and even ceilings.  

Azulejos are great testimonials of Portuguese history. Like paintings on the walls of caves show us the life of the early civilization, Azulejos show the life of Portuguese people.

Oh boy... I'd show you more and more and more, but don't think you have enough patience to stay here so long :)

Just only one thing - DO NOT GO AWAY FROM LISBON IF YOU DID NOT TRY PASTEIS DE BELÉM! 

Fluffy and creamy custard tarts with some pinch of cinnamon... yummm... 

They bake these amazing cakes almost 200 years there, in Belém. The recipe is created in Monastery by Nuns and bakers are keeping it in big SECRET.

If you are so far away from Lisbon and want a cake here and now, you can get a recipe of Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes with Whipped Cream and Caramel Dressing. Today I'm guest blogger on ddna
  (thank you darling Colleen!!!) and there I've posted one. Also the recipe is available HERE. 

Voilá! Thats all for today. Can't wait were we will fly tomorrow...

Much love,

Romantic Garden Collection. Noele

I don't have a huge of patience to wait and show you a whole collection (it's unfinished) that's why I decided to share some parts with you...
Do you remember Mirabella and Maya? Maya is still waiting for the Earrings and I didn't show you any Shoe Clip yet, but... Ta-Da! Here is something new: Noele Earrings and Noele Ring.
 

Noele (in contradistinction to Maya and Mirabella) doesn't have a Necklace. It will be Bracelet! And Shoe Clip, of course :)
Materials I've used here: copper, polymer clay, Swarovski crystal, freshwater pearls and hand dyed  natural tattered silk.

Enjoy!

{P.S. Don't forget about VACATION!!!}
