Hi there!!
The great news is (i don't know if you noticed) that now i can sell my art directly from my blog....

I got this program - ccnow- that you can add a shopping cart to your site or blog for almost nothing....i'd rather have a real site besides my blog but i'll have to way and see if that is possible...

Next week i'm programmed to show in some indie crafs fairs here nearby, in great Milan. I very excited i'm hopping it to be a great experience...and since we're this close to christmas also hope to make some good sales there! The only thing is that i hope the weather allows an open space fair!!!! It's been snowing since this morning and it hasn't stopped all day!!! So let's hope i can make it!

I'm having a hard time finding materials to work...Here it's very dificult to find beautiful vintage buttons...Let's see what i can come up with this sunday on the Naviglio Grande antiques fair....

The coldest winter of my life...

Hi there!
I used to live all my life in warm climate countries, as i told you before, like Portugal and Spain... I'm really not used to this kind of cold weather...It's been 2ºC since the day before yesterday and it snow at night time.... I'm really freaking out...i've been at home a lot... working in my pieces and on the net...

i'm a little short on money to tell you the truth...this economic crisis has hit us all..
one of these days a read an article about how it was easier to start a new business in a crisis time but i'm really not sure that's true...I have to be persistent and hold on...

I'm also a little short on materials so i'll have to spend a little more next weekend at the monthly antiques fair here in Milan....if i can find some interesting material...
I found two new stores to leave my pieces in but i have to have good material to show them...i'm also going to visit my lady friend in Fiori dei tempo, that sometimes buys directly from me, to see if she wants any material for Christmas...

Today i'm posting some new pieces and let's see if tomorrow i can post the ones i made today...
Hope you like it...
see you later....
I also made my firts video ever (out of photos!) and upload it to you tube. If you like follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdAenwKOGWY
