Shoal: Seaside Living

We love living by the sea! Frankly nothing beats sitting on the pebbles looking out over the Solent with an ice-cream in hand. 

Have you recognized the striped handbag hanging on the wall of the first picture? Yes! Now you can find some of my creations in one of the most beautiful shop in Southsea and I'm talking about Shoal: Seaside Living. 

Everything started more than a month ago when I was strolling on Albert Road and I came upon this shop. Ta-da! Well I really love everything is connecting with the sea and Shoal grants my wishes. Moreover it's kept by two cordial and friendly ladies: Anna (in the last picture) and Michelle who are sharing their passion of local artists and handmade. 

Everything sold in Shoal is made in the UK, usually locally as the creations of Peter Levy Colin Baxter, Emma Toman, Michelle Martin, Port and Lemon, Poppy Treffry, Sea pod, Alan Smith and mine. 

Actually you can find some handbags and the ice cream cones brooch handmade by me. 

Long Life Shoal!

Awesome Citoyennes de Berlin

Appena ho visto il negozio online della giovane designer berlinese Andrea è stato amore a prima vista. Così mi sono interessata ai suoi lavori e sono diventata una vera fan delle creazioni Citoyennes de Berlin. Andrea ama rielaborare grafiche vintage anni Sessanta (vedi gli adesivi con la mela) e anche i temi floreali (ispirati alla pittura nordica settecentesca). Il mio preferito in assoluto rimane il tema dell'uccellino sulla spilla e non vedo l'ora di appendere in casa le tre cartoline con il cerbiatto con le ali, il pettirosso e la lepre con papillon. Nelle foto si vede solo una piccola selezione dei suoi oggetti, vi consiglio di visitare il suo blog per respirare un po' di fresca aria berlinese e ammirare tutti suoi lavori.

Andrea is a Berlin-based young designer and owner of a cool lil-brand Citoyennes de Berlin. I'm interested in her artworks and I'm very fond of Citoyennes de Berlin's creations . Andrea loves vintage sixties graphic (see the stickers with the apple) and even the floral theme (such of the eighteenth century). My absolute favorite subject is the bird on the brooch and I can't wait to hang at home the three postcards with winged deer, the robin and the hare with a bow tie. I recommend you visit her blog to breathing the fresh air of Berlin.
