home is...

 almost two years since covid started, life changed us in different ways, i feel like i've been learning a lot and still a way to go to stay learning, caring, loving, teaching, helping, changing, healing in so many ways
Two years and so and i feel so grateful for a lot of things, for my mom and dad, my family, friends, work, health and home..
i'm growing and learning and also makes me feel so overwhelmed, new places, new people and situations but i feel so lucky to have a home to come back... 
home is a refugee, a place to rebuilt myself, a cozy area to growth so i'm gonna fill it up with joy, love, happiness and gratitud

So this is me, a vintage collector, a keeper of antiques, i'm so lucky to find goodies and have a nice collection of clothes and outfits... Got to share it, i'll keep some for myself but still i'm gonna share some goodies on my etsy shop just because may need find some other collectors that also love to keep vintage things like me...
What about to get something old? i guess is because all the history behind an object, let's see what's new goodies comes with this new year... 

 

Bless my mornings

Every day is the same, run from here to there, make a routine, keep everything ready, make some meals, rushing and hurrying myself to not to be late, i do that 6 days a week some days are more in a rush than other but always the quite the same
Today was the day that i can totally make the time to cook and prepare my breakfast as if it was a ritual.. Boiling water for my coffee, gathering all the ingredients, wash all the dishes and just take my time for enjoying simply moments like this...
so bless my mornings and keep me doing this more often...

 

out of town

 so i was invited by an art promotor and curator to give an art workshop for kids. Gosh! didn't know how much i miss to travel! really! besides to go out of town, is more like i do really, really love to travel and also i neeeeed vitamin sea!
i stayed in a lil town near to Puerto Vallarta with some friends and art pals, my workshop was about the landscape and colors, i was working on it the last 3 weeks, i was totally pleased how kids respond to outdoorsy activities even when was damn hot outside, like 33 degrees...
i do want to go back of course! 
i do want to go back and eat tons of fruit and sea food
i do really really want to go back and swim in the sea

i do love colors

 I do love colors, i wish more colorful things, like in all my home of course, the palette of my paintings and also with all my outfit... funny cuz i wear more neutral colors or dark colors, i just realize that i should wear more colorful clothes and barely got it in my wardrobe (oh well..) but what i love is to mix colors in my paintings, also mix colorful oilcloth pattern and make different garlands with lots of colors... so lately i thinking in quotes, like in books, in poems.... quotes to encourage or cheer up, i guess is i'm thinking in how to make a place looks and feel cozy and make it better... so i've been sewing, searching for vintage thinks for my home and just want to make my place to look great...
What do you do when you want to make a place look better?
Advices are welcome...

life lately...

i've been staying in home for vacation, i can't say it was just leisure, i've been working on my paintings, cleaning, declutter, painting walls and else... this is my last week before to start classes again, is kinda scary going back to presencial classes after all this distance and virtual classes... i already got my vaccine although i feel secure with it i'm still taking a lot of vitamins!!
Even when i adore to stay more time at home i've got to go back, this are my fav captures lately and yes! i used a nice vintage filter for this pics cuz i love vivid and bright colors but why not a different thing?
 August has been kind to me...

dash of yellow

 August is one of my favorites months of the year, dunno why really... i guess is just the weather or maybe almost the last month of summer season... really can't tell, but i can tell you why i like this month and also what i've been capture lately with my camera... i've got a crush in yellow, just a dash, i've been thinking seriously to paint some wooden furniture in yellow or sew something with yellow fabric but most shocking is to wear yellow in my outfits like, more than usual, i feel so confortable wearing black and blue and grey tho, but well.. i may probably change my mind... i don't have a specific explanation but just because i like it, is like candy eye to me... (also pastel pink, i may probably write a post of pastel pink meanwhile...) some captures with yellow ...
