I'm sorry I've been super busy working on my next collection. I get in these modes, plus my daughter's second anniversary/birthday is coming up on Sunday.
I'll be back soon with more, and hopefully something very special. We do have something special planned for our daughters anniversary/birthday but due to schedules etc, it will be after her actual birthday. But again something beautiful and special is coming.

Do patronage, support, and bookmark the link. It's always beautiful when we see selfless acts of love, and beauty.

At the end of 2003, a group of several craftswomen who had participated in previous projects showed interest in carrying on the project, and we transformed it in a workshop, an ever evolving space for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and artistic expression. The Azulejaria was born…"
