Hello there friends!!!
As promised here I am with {sneak-peek :: handmade pledge}!
But first… if only you knew how hot is in Lisbon right now… I really don’t know what to do! It’s almost 11p.m. and it is as hot as 32ºC or almost 90ºF… we are not used to this… we’re not. For this and only this, I feel the right to not go to work tomorrow. I believe I have that right. How am I supposed to sleep in this heat? Ok, now I will stop complaining, put my feet back on the ground and get it over with it, because I have to sleep… I must work tomorrow!
So… this week’s edition is about… I guess I can say this, my favourite store on Etsy! It is!

I would buy every single product and I would love to have done something like this! Actually I tried to do something similar, before I even met the artist. One of the things I love the most is to wander around Lisbon… portraying its traditional corners.
This lady does it in Paris.
This lady does it by Colour.
This lady does it almost Randomly… without appearing that way.
This lady is the lady behind… Little Brown Pen.

She takes pictures in Paris… and just like Etsy considers it… for me it is handmade.

Her name is Nichole… and let’s see how it all started…
“Last winter, my husband, two young sons and I moved to Paris. It was a spur of the moment decision inspired by living in the moment. Our boys were not yet in school, we were not tied to any location for a job (we both freelance), and we had always wanted to live in Paris. So off we went.
Almost immediately, I started taking photos unified by color theme. It all started on a particularly gray day, when the colors popped against the pale skies and the white Haussmman buildings. I started snapping photos of red (cafe chairs, buildings, metro signs, etc.), and it tipped off an obsession that led to hundreds of photos in other colors. I enjoy the serendipitous nature of the discovery, and I never know what I am going to find or shoot.
I’ve really enjoyed posting the photos on my blog, and I’m happy to share my point of view of a beautiful city.
We’ve moved back to the US, and reside just outside of New York City, but we’re back in Paris every eight weeks for business and pleasure. Eight weeks is about as long as I can stay away!”
These are some of my favourites… delight yourselves!

Belíssimas fotografias de recantos parisienses, de facto! Mas olha que as tuas fotos de Lisboa não ficam atrás!
