The new lamp is hanging
colouring my bedroom...
with shades of blue against the red and pink
light pouring from the window
a vintage eiderdown
a new collection on my mind, who knows
I'll show you my new beauty when I come back from London...

Sweet dreams...
Starting the new year with a good night sleep, resting my body and mind to face the challenges that come ahead, dreaming the sweet dreams that travel in my thoughts, where everything is pretty, peaceful and pure...
The photos of the blue lamp shade are from Mokassin - I just bought one, so I wanted to see how it will look in my bedroom! :)
I wish you a wonderful 2012!

New little things...
...for my daughters.
These are some vintage fabrics that I'll be using for pillows (bellow) and a lovely lilac lamp, for a beautiful shades of lavender bedroom...
I hope that they keep images of their little things in the memories of their childhood. The same way that I kept images of pretty things from when I was a kid... the most important time of our lives must be filled with beauty and love!

Weekend projects
Projectos de fim-de-semana: montamos o candeeiro, finalmente! Fiquei tão contente por ver a luz distribuída na sala de forma mais homogénea - já aqui estamos há mais de 8 anos e estas coisas têm que se fazer gradualmente, pelo que cada avanço é uma pequena festa! :) Ali estão os bancos novos, ainda sem almofadas e sem o pelinho. Com esta melhoria de tempo, espero que só usemos a pele falsa no próximo Inverno! :) Os tecidos que tenho para fazer as almofadas ainda não são os meus favoritos por isso, para já, vou aguardar até encontrar alguma coisa de que goste mesmo. Aquela linda grinalda também não é definitiva, pois vou por umas bandeirolas brancas- assim, será mais fácil de conjugar com os diferentes estampados das toalhas-de-mesa.
Na foto de baixo está um peça de metal para pendurar na parede, mas que aguarda uma pintura azul. Em princípio, consigo fazer isso hoje. Depois mostro-vos o resultado final.
E quais são os vossos projectos de fim-de-semana? Sol e mais sol? :)
Weekend projects: we finally hung the new lamp! I was so happy when I saw the way the light was distributed around the living room - you know, we live here for more than 8 years, but these little improvements take their time, so every time we have a new thing, it's a small celebration! :) You can also see the new benches, still without the cushions or the faux fur. I guess that if this wonderful weather stays for good, we'll use the fur only next winter! :) The fabrics that I have for the cushions still aren't my favorite, so it will take a little longer before I find the right ones and have them made. That beautiful garland isn't the one that I'll be using, as its length isn't long enough and I'll be hanging two other ones, all white, so that it's easier to match them with the different patterns of the tablecloths.
In the photo bellow I'm showing you a metal trivet to hang in the wall that I'll paint in blue. I'll show you when I have it done - hopefully, this weekend.
And what are your weekend projects? Laying out in the sun? Are you having good weather from where you are reading this? :)

Weekend beauty
Então, meus queridos amigos? Preparados para mais um fim-de-semana? Eu estou preparadíssima e feliz da vida, como habitualmente! :) Para além da normal rotina (trabalhos-de-casa da Carlota, bebé, festas de aniversário dos amiguinhos, arrumações e supermercado...) quero ver se consigo tratar de algumas coisas para a decoração da minha casa e para as quais só consigo ter tempo disponível nestes dois dias maravilhosos que, felizmente, ainda conseguimos ter livres após uma árdua semana de trabalho.
Como decidi por bancos na sala e tirar as cadeiras - visualmente, aumenta o espaço da nossa pequena sala, estou mesmo contente - vou finalmente arriscar e pintar algumas das cadeiras que agora arrumei na garagem. Gosto daquela cor lá em baixo - lá vou andar eu à procura de tintas, mas acho que vão ficar lindas! Acho que na CIN eles ajustam as cores à medida do que queremos, espero conseguir chegar a este resultado.
Vou pedir ao meu maridinho para pendurar o candeeiro na sala - o abajour branco de baixo. Adoro aqueles candeeiros industriais em esmalte, acho-os lindos! Branquinho e com umas bandeirolas brancas, vai ficar um luxo! :)
Finalmente, quero ir ao horto, comprar mais hera para tapar as paredes do jardim e também uns bolbos e relva, que é preciso manter aquele pequeno pedaço de natureza que eu tanto adoro! Olhem-me só as florezinhas da cerejeira japonesa que temos - estas pequenas coisas enchem-me de espanto e respeito, pois não há nada como a força da Terra e desta coisa imensa que nos envolve a todos...
Tenham um bom fim-de-semana!

Hello, my dear friends! Are you ready to enjoy your weekend? I surely am, and happy as usual! :) Besides the usual chores (Carlota's homework, the baby, kid's parties, supermarket and cleaning some stuff), I want to finish up some decoration issues and for which I only have this time available. So glad we still have two days after a hard work week to enjoy and relax - who knows what the future brings, with this crisis and all.
Well, I decided to switch the living room chairs for white benches and, believe me, I'm so happy with this decision - my room looks definitely bigger. So I'm planning on painting some of the remaining chairs, maybe in that blue-green bellow - that means that I have to look after that color, which I hope I can find.
Then I hope that my husband can hang that white lamp that I love so. I adore these industrial enamel lamps and I think it's going to look gorgeous with an all-white garland on top.
Finally, I want to go to the garden shop and buy some more ivy to fill up the walls in my garden. I also need more grass and a few bulbs - my little haven requires high maintenance! Just look at the lovely flowers from our japanese cherry tree - these little things never cease to amaze me and fill me with awe and respect for Nature and all the beauty that surrounds us...
Have a very happy weekend!

So give me the light
Sempre vivi em casas com pé direito muito alto - hoje em dia, não, pelo contrário! E é nessas casas que adoro ver estes candeeiros de tecto antigos, ou a imitar antigos- eu gosto de brilhos e tudo o que reflicta a luz é muito apelativo para mim. Gosto de os ver em contraste - numa cozinha rústica, numa casa-de-banho ou, luxo extremo, numa casa de praia como a da última foto... vá, eu nem pedia tanto a Deus!... :)
E qual é o vosso preferido?

I always lived in houses with high walls. Well, not now, actually where I live right now it's quite the opposite! But for me it's in that kind of houses that these chandeliers work out best. I love glitter and sparkles, so everything that shines and reflects the light catches my eye. I particularly like to see them in contrast with the rest of the decoration - in a country kitchen, in a bathroom or, extreme luxury, like in that beach house of the last photo... Oh Lord, I wouldn't ask for this much!... :)
And which one is your favorite?

Pretty in pink
Isn't she? I would definitely buy one of these. First time I saw these beautiful lamps was here. Then they crossed my path again here. Then here. And here. So many paths and crossings! Is it a sign? :-)
Oh, the pink one with that golden inside is my new obsession!
I love lamps. And pink lamps in particular, or so it seems! :-)
Have a nice weekend!

Carlota's colors
Ontem chegou a encomenda que fiz na Segunda passada, do site Bianca and Family. Demorou tão pouco tempo!
Aqui está uma foto do candeeiro, que está no quarto das meninas... espero que gostem! Se hoje ainda conseguir, tento mostrar as outras coisas que chegaram.
Desejo-vos um dia maravilhoso!
Yesterday arrived my Bianca and Family order. It took such little time!
Here is a photo of the lamp that is in the girl's room... I hope you like it! If I can manage, I'll try to post photos of the other things that I bought.
Wish you all a wonderful day!

Para as princesas
Finalmente decidi mandar vir algumas coisas do site francês www.bianca-and-family.com. Ora vejam: uma lancheira para a Carlota e umas babetes para a princesa pequenina!

Já há bastante tempo que tinha ficado encantada com este site e com os brinquedos lindos que vendem! Com a chegada da Conchinha, vou ter que adaptar o quarto da Carlota... E, para além de uma cama nova, só falta um candeeiro de mesa. Escolhi o cor-de-rosa:
Quando as coisas chegarem, eu tiro fotos e posto-as aqui!
For my little princesses... I finally decided to buy these lovely things from Bianca and Family. Look at the sweet lunchbox and the bibs! I love the colours! I have been watching this site for a long time, and with the arrival of Conchinha, I'll have to adapt the girls room, find another bed and buy the missing lamp. I've opted for the pink one!
As soon as I have photos, I'll post them!
