Ethnic trend @ Zara Home

Nunca comprei nada na Zara Home, ao contrario da casa mãe Zara.

Sobre o site da Zara home acho que está bem organizado e as produções são de muito bom gosto. Apesar de não gostar de tudo a toalha de mesa da Ethnic trend deu-me algumas ideias...



I never bought anything at Zara Home, unlike the parent company Zara.

I think the site is very well organized and the productions are very tasteful. I like a lot of things there but the tablecloth of Ethnic trend gave me some ideas ...

This ancient town, older than the founding of Portugal, owes its name to the abundance of vineyards that covered the slopes and produced excellent wine. Today the production of wine has almost disappeared.

In the time of the Romans there was a settlement called Veniatia, through which passed the road that linked Braga to Astorga. Suebi, Visigoths, Vandals, and Moors all were present in the region. One of the first kings of Portugal, Sancho II had a castle and walls built around which grew a small town soon to be called Vinhaes. This town was nicknamed Rich Town, because of the abundance of its wine, linen, silk, and wool

vamos às compras :: let´s shop

Apesar de ainda hoje ter apanhado neve no regresso do trabalho, já sonho com a chegada da primavera e do tempo quente. Este ano, mais do que nos anteriores, terei mesmo necessidade de roupas frescas pois o lugar onde trabalho é de extremos em termos de temperaturas.

Assim, para a próxima estação já comecei a fazer uma whish list:

Although I have caught snow today on the return from work, I dream of the arrival of spring and warm weather. I have started to make a shop list of clothes and shoes and bags...you see the city where i work is extreme in terms of temperatures.
For next season I want:

Vou ter três novos primos em 2010:))
Afinal quem disse quem não nascem putos?


I´ll have three new cousins in 2010:))
who said that there are no new born kids?

Log cabin pillow

O quarto da M tem mais uma almofada, o B reclama pois diz que só faço coisas para a irmã...se calhar tem razão.

M´s room has one new pillow, B says that i just do things for his sister ... maybe he´s right.









Devo dizer que estas almofadas feitas com log cabin são viciantes :)

I must say that these log cabin pillows are addictive:)

Nas próximas almofadas vou experimentar uns tecidos do Ikea.

On the next pillows í´ll try some fabrics purchased at Ikea.


Por falar em tecidos este é novo e pareceu-me fantástico para vestidos ou aventais para o próximo verão...

I also bought a fantastic fabric for dresses or aprons for next summer ...

Hair pins

Não sei se acontece o mesmo com vocês, mas a minha filha passa a vida a perder os ganchos do cabelo. Andou uns tempos sem eles pois cortou o cabelo à frente mas agora que voltou a crescer é preciso tratar de fazer novos ganchos. Nestes usei tecido e não feltro.

I do not know if it's the same with you, but my daughter is always losing her hair pins. During some time she didn’t need them because she cut her hair ahead but now that has grown again we must make new hair pins. This time I used fabric as an alternative of felt.

I love Aprons

I just love aprons, even as a child I remember using them so I would wet my cloths. I think that a woman with an apron has a very feminine look, don´t you?
When I put on a apron suddenly, It may sound crazy, makes me want to things with more energy. It´s strange but aprons have that effect on me.

The photos on this post show absolutely stunning aprons.







They are from function and they just put a smile on my face. These aprons, for both kids and adults, are designed by a couple in California and made and assembled in India. They are simply gorgeous and makes you want to wear them all the time.
