Shop Update

The last 2 weeks have been a little slow for us. We spent a week in Lisbon,  where we had amazing, Summer-like weather.

Unfortunately, I brought back a cold and spent the first couple of days nursing it. Finally, I started working on a custom order.

I am very pleased with the results!

Today I am starting on a new custom order, this time a laptop sleeve and I am hope that I will be able to add some new clutches to the shop next week.

Stay tuned!

Summer Vacation!

The countdown has started for our holiday! Last orders are being finished, bags are being packed and arrangements are being made for our 2 kitties who will be home alone for a couple of weeks.

As of Friday the shop will be closed but until then, we are having a sale, so hurry!

We'll be back in mid-August, fully recharged to face the busy season head on. Until then, happy Summer!!

Family Getaway

 

Last weekend we went to Texel and had the most wonderful time! The weather was perfect. We went to the beach, rode our rented bikes around the island and even saw seals about 100m from the beach.
I miss the beach. It's one of the things I miss the most about Portugal. Of course they do have beaches in Holland but it's not the same plus the sea water is freezing! Bone aching cold.  I still went in more than once.

Summer In Our Backyard

 

This is what summer looks like in our backyard. A few more days and our strawberries will be ripe and hopefully they will be just as sweet and tasty as last year's.

This weekend we are headed for the beach, in a island in the north of Holland, Texel. I can't wait. 

Happy weekend!

I am taking a break from sewing and escaping to New York for a long weekend with my husband. The weather is fantastic and I am hoping we are going to do a great deal of sightseeing and shopping. In between we will try to see some friends and, as soon as I can get my hands on some tylenol PM, catch up on our sleep!

I will report back next week!
