Many necklaces will be in the shop on Monday.The sun is finally out after so many days of rain so, I will spend a rest of the week out, taking lots of photos for the book. I wish you all a great week and weekend!

My surprise parcel  from Abigail & Ryan arrived on Saturday - four beautiful tea towels! Soft, unbleached cotton and Abigail's delicate drawings are a perfect combination, they are hanging proudly on my kitchen wall now, next to Atelier lzc.

book

Since many of you asked for a book of color stripes, I start making it with Blurb, two weeks ago.I added a proportion part as well because I think it's very useful. Here is one of many pages I've been working on..

...then yesterday , I heard that the new issue of Bloom -my favorite trend forecast magazine is finally out and I saw the cover this morning...this coincidence made me so happy!

update

The Fair was beautiful and the necklace had success! (something similar will be in the shop next week ,as a part of my "unbreakable" project) I was not aloud to take photos, but I ordered some fabrics that I found particularly inspiring.All of them are printed with kind of hand painted watercolor effect. I hope parcel will arrive next week, can't wait to show you.

I'm going to Milan Textile trade fair today.Besides being great occasion to see new tendencies,  colors and lot of wonderful fabrics, it's also unique occasion to see all the people you would never ever like to meet again ,like my previous bosses from this, this and this company. My outfit is poor but at least I have a super powerful, colorful and giant necklace to protect me :) wish me luck!

p.s. Mushrooms have their own page now.

I'm not quite sure what will my new unbreakable project be..till now it's very colorful and fun...and wooden!

turquoise and brown

 I love this video report about colour trends for 2010!
 Happy weekend!

Fragile soul...of mushrooms

After discovering that few of my mushrooms arrived at their new homes broken, I decide I'll not sell them online anymore.Probably they don't like long trips so they end up hurting themselves in some stupid way (I'm sure it has nothing to do with thougthful postmen, I can just imagine how carfully and lovingly they treat our parcels)
There are four mushrooms left if you are interested, I promise I will test packaging in a very aggressive way!

p.s. 2010 Calendar is on sale now

My friend's vintage shop is a colour and pattern heaven!!! Be sure to check it out if you ever come to Milan.

imagining small worlds was my secret hobby since childhood, so it makes me really happy you liked small Venice that much

Wish you all a lovely weekend!

small Venice

While I was taking photos of petals, the other day, I didn't even notice that they look like a small gondolas until I saw curtain reflection on the table , I drew few figures and voilà: Venetian sunset for all of us to enjoy!
