friday i am in love with…

… the portuguese achievements, either huge or small… noticed or unnoticed, are delicious and such a pleasure to witness… and above all, it makes me very proud of these talented artists… and happy because i know them all.

a while ago i met {vera joão espinha} on one of the craft fairs. i met her and her husband, because she was brave enough to introduce herself to me, because i had emailed her to be a guest on {local markets}. she actually took forever to answer the questions, but that did not bother me at all, it actually made us laugh during our conversation. it made us laugh, because i find it so endearing when one recognizes its flaws… and just like me, vera often forgets things, mostly those that for some reason, those things do not show on top of the priority list. i talked about her work {here}, and when i visited her blog, i found out that she had been invited to be a part of an excellent book called {the new artisans}, featuring a couple of portuguese artisans, among these the lovely {fric de mentol}.

asides from this achievement which should makes us all very proud, yesterday the stunning wedding website {simplesmente branco} launched their second edition of the {s magazine}. everyone around was thrilled about the launch and could not wait to see it live! the magazine was even more delicious than the previous {number}. the magazine counts on several contributions by well-known wedding vendors… and it you can explore it {here}. if you are planning a wedding, this is your magazine… do not miss this!
