{wednesdays on etsy}

hello hello! how are you friends? i am so excited because today is already wednesday!! yay! wednesdays have always had a sweet taste for me… it is the middle of the week, from now on, is weekend countdown! yesterday i went to the movies with mr twiggs and… it was a great disappointment. do you also hate when the trailer is so good that makes you want to see a movie so much, and then you see it… and you leave the movies… like… “what was that?” please, movie directors & screenplay writters… can we have really good cinema this year? thank you! oh before i can get on to our weekly edition, can i just remind you (at least for those a bit absent) that this week, there is a really good series of interviews, with amazing behind-the-cameras-insight by some of my (and yours too, i believe) favourite photographers! what cameras do they use? what is their best feature? what do they seek with their photography? 10 questions about them… and about how they see {photography}. you can read the first two interviews {here} & {here}. so, let’s keep on going. in these last few days i have been dedicated more than the usual to {pinterest} & etsy, and of course have been finding these amazing things. and the best? spring is close. really.

do you want to comment? now, i am not a mother. but if i was, if i was ladies… i would certainly surround my son (always imagined myself with four boys! crazy, right?) with these fluffy & colourful handmade toys! one note concerning this finding on etsy, it was not mine! i was on twitter and someone (please please forgive me for not remembering who) shared a link, i clicked and found this. so if this is you, please write me a note on comments, will you? because these are amazing!

meet pablo!

and this was palmiro!

do you really want to resist?  now, {laura contemori} does everything by hand with a lot of love, lives in italy and describes herself as…

“una girella di liquirizia, un sorriso all’improvviso, una sorpresa sotto il letto, una fossetta sulla guancia, una protea in un vaso rosso, uno sguardo furbo, un puntino nero in un foglio bianco…”

if i understood italian, i would translate, but i do not. so… a little mistery on our wednesday is always good! but there is something about a smile… and of course, someone that is able to do these lovely toys by hand, must live a happy life. you can sneak-peek into her store {contemori | bottega creativa}, by clicking in each image or just {here}. laura is also on {facebook}. and this was a little bit of spring for today! no, we are not having spring temperatures in lisbon, but i must confess that yesterday when going to work, i was delighted to see that some trees are blossoming! oh happy happy me! see you in a bit, with another latin-american girl!
