Lucky lady

"Yo no creo en las brujas, pero que las hay, las hay"

It's a famous saying in Spanish, telling, in a charming way, well, that we may not know all that are out there between earth and sky. Luck is one of those mysterious issues. Rest assured, I am not going on a long philosophical story over here. This is just my way of introduction to show you how lucky I am. Essential examples: health and love. And than those small happy events of now and then: remember that I won a giveaway my dear classmate Virginia Kamau had on her blog? Yes, I won a beautiful kiwi tea-towel with her lovely pattern.

Afterwards, I just liked a page on Facebook, The Art of Bespoke, and, well, won the great cushion (Dahlia) from the great English designer Imogen Heath. I love home decor, by the way. See the cushion properly photographed here on her site, and below, with my four-legged always hungry actress nearby.

Do you know the story of that pattern? Have a look here. I loved it, because it says a lot about a spontaneous way of creating, my dream way of working. And next, do you know the traditional story: "my sister (brother, husband, etc, fit as convenient) went to the USA (Europe, Brazil, so on and so far) and all I got was this lousy T-shirt?" Well, in fact my sister went to the USA and I got those amazingly beautiful page flags pictured below. Aren’t they gorgeous?

I wished I had done each of those patterns: the kiwi, the dahlia, and those vintage patterned page flags. But I am happy to have won all of them and, most of all, to keep working on doing things that I love and that, one day, if I keep being lucky, may cover surfaces and embellish other's people lucky gifts. 

Enjoy your sunday. Here it's blue and beautiful.
