Many friends have been to New York and the USA lately. I’ve already seen so many photographs and read so much about that city, I feel I know it, though I’ve never been there – and don’t plan to go for the moment -.

I last ‘visited’ New York through Noema’s eyes. I discovered beautiful places and ate exotic food, while trying to bear the heat lying in a park, drinking iced coffe…

Thanks to Sandra from Cosesmones I’ve just found out some of my fans have been featured in Atelier Magazine #4!

In Arts&Crafts (p.40), Anabel García-Plata from jugandoconhilos, features different artisans who use traditional techniques to create contemporary objects.

Have a look at Atelier, this month comes full of great tips for this summer!

♥ Thanks Sandra and Anabel!

This has been a really busy week. Lots of visitors came to the shop through Design*Sponge and I’ve been ironing, pleating and sewing every day. All the orders are shipped now, flying to their new homes.

I’m tired but happy with my Etsy experience, I see the last month’s efforts are giving nice results.

Ashley English, editor of Small Measure provides lots of good advice to keep cool this summer.

Read through her latest post on her Design*Sponge weekly column to discover the secret language of fans and low-fi means of cooling down when the mercury soars.

Her post also features lots of hand fans found online: from traditional african and asian paddles, to japanese bamboo and silk beauties.

Ashley found my Etsy shop and included two of the fans on her article! I’m flattered to see my creations featured on such a prominent blog!

Thanks Ashley!

These are some of the fabrics I’ve got this week:

• Memento by Amy Butler, from Bobbie Lou’s Fabric Factory
• Fortune by Anna Maria Horner, from Mineymo
• Paradise Garden by Amy Butler, from Mineymo

I love them all!
