I have recently discovered THIS lovely site that features recommendations for stunning details that can turn an average wedding into a oh-so-cute one. Browsing through butterflies, cupcakes and delicate jewelry I stumbled upon this article about my Obsolete Collection. Lovely, right?

So, if you're planning your huge event, it might help you check it out :)

How sweet?

2010-06-12T10:08:00.000-07:00

THIS sweet!

How cool do you think it is to receive such a delicate present from Aitch herself? It's AWESOME!
The more I get to know her work, the more I fall in love with everything that she does. Yesterday I attended this show and I was mesmerized by the world she and Saddo created. Somehow it reminded me of the illustrations of Gargantua and Pantagruel by F. Rabelais ( illustrations by Val Munteanu).
However, I strongly encourage you to check out her pages:

Saptamana Teatrului Masca Eveniment aniversar – 20 de ani de teatru altfel

2010-05-25T01:14:00.000-07:00

La 24 mai 1990 se infiinta, prin hotarare de guvern, TEATRUL MASCA, singurul teatru de gest, pantomima si expresie corporala din peisajul cultural romanesc. Asa se face ca anul acesta Masca aniverseaza 20 de ani de existenta
“Pentru a marca aniversarea noastra am propus publicului din Capitala o suita de evenimente menite sa ofere o imagine complexa a Teatrului Masca, un teatru altfel. Pastram in sufletul nostru aplauzele de la sfarsitul fiecarui spectacol sustinut in acesti 20 de ani. Sunt ani in care ne-am simtit aproape de sufletul fiecarui spectator care a devenit prietenul Teatrului Masca. De aceea, la ceas aniversar, oferim cetatii, cu toata dragostea, timp de o saptamana spectacolele noastre, filmele si muzica acestora, ateliere cu personalitati ale teatrului de gest european, concerte, expozitii si, nu in ultimul rand, doua volume despre istoria teatrului nostru – La inceput a fost gestul si Scenariile noastre”, declara Mihai Malaimare, directorul si fondatorul Teatrului Masca.
Si pentru ca luni 24 mai, este a doua zi de Rusalii si este zi de sarbatoare legala, va invitam Herastrau la aniversarea noastra. Vom incepe programul cu vernisajul expozitiei de fotografie Portret de Actor si cu deja traditionalul Targ de Jucarii, eveniment ajuns la cea de-a XI-a editie. Aleile parcului vor fi animate apoi de statui vivante si de marionete, momente de pantomima, concerte. Pe parcusul zilei bucurestenii vor putea vedea si 4 dintre spectacolele noastre: Geneza, Pierrot Lunatecul, Indragostitii si Gardienii se intorc.
Ziua de marti este rezervata lansarii volumelor La inceput a fost Gestul si Scenariile noastre la Muzeul Literaturii Romane.
Miercuri dupa-amiaza va invitam la vernisajul expozitiei de fotografie Profesia: Actor la Masca, pentru ca seara aceleiasi zile sa fie dedicata, la fel ca si cea de joi spectacolelor in Parcurile Cismigiu si Titan. Vineri va asteptam la sediul nostru din Bdul. Uverturii cu o parada de costume Lumea e o scena, un targ de moda Masca e...Vintage, concerte sustinute de Mircea Tiberian si Ioan Gyuri Pascu, precum si repetitia generala cu public a viitoarei premiere: Gigi Amoroso.
Sambata si duminica in parcurile Cismigiu si Herastrau publicul bucurestean va putea urmari Cocktail, Muzeul Viu, Pierrot Lunatecul, Clovnii si Gardienii se intorc.
In toata aceasta perioada, diminetile la sediul teatrului vor avea loc workshopuri cu Peter Mim, Marina Spreafico si Michele Modesto Casarin.

Accesul publicului la evenimente este liber.

Atelier Aiurea

2010-05-18T12:48:00.000-07:00

Atelier Aiurea, noul boutique din zona boema a Bucurestilor de altadata, isi aprinde firma luminoasa pentru prima oara in data de 27 aprilie, ora 11 a.m, pe Str. Covaci nr. 19 (colt cu Str. Sepcari).

Pana acum plimbarile prin centrul vechi insemnau doar restaurante, cafenele si terase, ceea ce ii lipsea pentru a aduce parfumul cartierului parisian fiind locurile pentru impatimitele modei. Acum Atelier Aiurea deschide drumul sesiunilor de shopping de placere.

Atelier Aiurea nu este un simplu magazin de haine si accesorii vintage, este un spatiu in care extravaganta westwoodiana, eleganta coco si rafinamentul eternei Audrey se imbina spectaculos si totodata firesc cu noile tendinte ale unor creatori autohtoni in ascensiune. Aici este locul in care noul este dorit, vechiul apreciat, bizarul intrigant, iar pretul acestora unul just, cum numai o fashionista poate face diferenta dintre o piesa veritabila al unui creator celebru si o haina frumoasa prêt-a-porter.

De la amenajarea vitrinei pana la designul interior, totul a fost gandit ca un spatiu de inspiratie ce poate conduce la redefinirea stilului propriu prin melanjul de stiluri vestimentare, accesorii si decoratiuni interioare. Iar pentru ca stilul evolueaza, magazinul se reinventeaza si el, rafturile sale schimbandu-si semnaturile de designer in mod constant.

Si pentru placerea de a fi creativ vine natural dupa orele de munca, spatiul este deschis pana seara tarziu, iar de vineri pana duminica programul este prelungit pana la ora 24.00. Magazinul va tine pasul cu toate evenimentele culturale ale orasului, astfel ca o data cu noaptea muzeelor sau zilele orasului, programul de functionare va fi similar acestora.

Nouveau. Ancient. Bizarre. Beau... Atelier Aiurea

Treasure Box

2010-05-12T08:38:00.000-07:00

Mom's reaction to this was: Why did you put all those things in it?

Well the story goes like this: one day I thrifted this nice vintage pill box with the intention of transforming it in a ring. Then it all came to me: this was supposed to be a treasure box, next to my super cool "Pain in my brain" locket from lovely Bo3mia. So I filled it up with dreams, smiles, desires and love ,then I sprayed some Chloe on them and attached the treasure box and the locket to the same chain.

So whenever I will feel blue, I'll just open my treasure box and golden stars will reappear on my sky.

Yours,
Andreea

Dreamy Days by Biba Bijoux @ V 4 Vintage 4

2010-04-09T11:35:00.000-07:00

Last night I managed to finish the photo shooting for my new collection Dreamy Days, that you can see live tomorrow at Cafepedia, details here.

Unfortunately I do not have enough energy and time right now to present properly this collection ( photo and story wise). After a sleepless night I'll be attending a fancy fair, then I have a school deadline on Monday and then packing for huge CFW. I do not make any promises but I'll do my best to show all the collection as soon as possible.

I wish you all to have a dreamy weekend:)

JUMĂTÁTE

2010-03-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

JUMĂTÁTE deficient de plural, s.f.(în jumătate din cazuri s.m)– una din cele doua părți, niciodată egale, care formează un întreg. În general este vorba de întregul din care un individ vrea sa facă parte, pentru a evita sentimentul iminent de singurătate. Existența jumătății nu este mereu reprezentată fizic și complet în imediata realitate, ea putând fi sugerată de căutarea continuă și neobosită. Jumătatea este unică, imuabilă, incompletă, magnetică, cifrată. În mod ironic jumătatea își atribuie numai adjective la feminin. Jumătatea e selenară.

Referințe: Taxi – Jumătate (trigger); Adam si Eva de L. Rebreanu (background teoretic)

Riscuri mecanice @ Atelier 35

2010-03-16T03:46:00.000-07:00

Galeria Atelier35 vă invită miercuri, 17 martie, ora 19:00 la vernisajul expoziției "Riscuri Mecanice. Afișe securitatea muncii."

Expoziția “Riscuri mecanice” vizează recuperarea unor repere vizuale importante din zona design-ului grafic românesc prin expunerea a peste 130 de afișe datând din prima jumătate a anilor 90.

Sunt astfel documentate mutațiile stilistice survenite în design-ul de afiș prin îmbinarea structurilor grafice ale constructivismului rus cu pattern-uri vizuale specifice realismului socialist dar și cu umorul caricatural al benzilor desenate franțuzești

Având ca temă centrală protecția muncii, mesajele de atenționare ale afișelor relevă obsesia accidentului ca anxietate majoră a progresului tehnic. Principiului precauției, dublat întotdeauna de proximitatea pericolului, îi corespunde exhibarea vizuală a traumei anterioare ce a făcut vizibililă posibilitatea recurenței accidentului. In lipsa unei accidentologii, acesta poate fi înțeles, așa cum o face Paul Virilio, ca o invenție, o descoperire a ceea ce a fost ascuns și asteaptă să se întâmple. Insă odată decontextualizat, mesajul își pierde referentul transformând galeria într-o zonă în care negocierea de sens se desfășoară la nivel vizual. Afișele și-au pierdut utilitatea în aceeași măsură în care le este negociată, pe simeze, valoarea estetică.

The Notebook

2010-03-11T04:45:00.000-08:00

I've decided to keep my school and business notes in the same place - a fancy custom made notebook, So I bought one and pimped it with cutouts from a Christelen B and a Stefanel catalogues that I have received buying some mgazines. Of course you should read Stefanel as in Ștefănel :) Now I feel so young fresh and cool every time I open it *blush*

Now let's talk serious business. Find out here how you can earn (not win) some magic jewelry.

And if you have a Facebook account (if not this is the right time to create one) check this out, have a little patience and, starting next week, experience free shopping (no, is not shipping, but SHOPPING).

Ever since last Friday, when I arrived in Bucharest, I did nothing else than attending events, going out with dear friends, attending nice classes at school (film studies, advertising etc), having some business meetings thinking about the meaning of life and other dusty pink stuff. I have so much to tell about nice people that I met, about new friends, thoughts, anguishes and love.
Thank you all for being here with me and for answering that poll. I promise you a surprise this month! Stay tuned ;)

(un)happiness disease

2010-02-16T06:19:00.000-08:00

Have you ever thought about this disease? Because it exists, it is the mother of all diseases, but nobody pays attention to it. Have you ever thought what would happen if the doctor told you that unless you are happy, you will die. That is: every thing that you do and it bothers you doing, every misplaced word you receive, every tear, every sleepless night is one step closer to death. Challenges, delightful stress, competition, working hard on whatever you like are not causes of this disease. So you can do whatever you like, whatever makes you feel comfortable, no matter how hard it this, as long as you enjoy doing it is fine. But every thing that you repulsively do, kills you.
I wish I were labeled with this disease. I wish I could say don't make me go there, you know I don't want to, plus you know I'm ill, I'm only allowed to be happy.

Give for Animals

2010-02-15T03:13:00.000-08:00

Would you like to know how to help some little sweet kittens and puppies? You should just visit this fair and shop whatever your heart desires. All the money will be used to help those helpless sweethearts.

Freee shipping this month

2010-02-13T04:56:00.000-08:00

Yep, that's right! We are all thinking about sunny days, spring flower and birds tweeting, so I thought of making you a surprise: this month you will receive a trinket, traditionally decorated for the beginning of march, and free shipping for both my Etsy shop and my .ro shop. Enjoy!

Dreamy Days

2010-02-04T10:41:00.000-08:00

Today I finally succeeded to create a Treasury list on Etsy - Dreamy Days- and I really love how it turned out. There are so many amazing things on Etsy, some beyond imagination. And I was thinking to share with you, once a week, my favorites. We shall see about that. Untill then, enjoy your dreamy days :)

JK Rowling: The fringe benefits of failure

2010-02-02T01:54:00.000-08:00

I received today from Andra, a link to a speech delivered by JK Rowling in 2008 at Harvard. You have here the video and here the speech written. Listening to her you'll just laugh and cry and think...just a small quote, not the most relevant, but the first one that came into my mind:

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared..

Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

It's about failure, imagination, empathy, apathy, kindness, power and life. Enjoy!

Fashion Bloggers

2010-01-31T03:12:00.000-08:00

Have I ever told you about my favorite fashion bloggers? I will start with my last discovery: a 13 year old amazing girl that started her blog when she was 11!!! Now she's invited at fashion shows and it seems she has a word to say about fashion industry. Meet Tavi :)
My first discovery in this field was Jane, from Sea of Shoes, whom style I absolutely adore! Then I bumped into Susie aka Style Bubble and Jennine aka The Coveted, that without mistake can be called style icons.
Speaking about fashion, check out this new online fashion magazine: PLM that features lovely cloths from Corina Vladescu, Andreea Badala and Multe Mandarine and also a great article about Maison Martin Margiela written by Daiana.The smart man behind it is fashion designer George Enache.

Have a nice Sunday!

LATER UPDATE: Most influential style blogs
Just discovered a dreamer. Love the header.

About mediocrity

2010-01-30T10:06:00.000-08:00

What about it? When is actually a person mediocre? When he is not tall, nor short, not fat, nor thin, not smart, yet not stupid? Maybe when he's not delicate, yet not strong, when he doesn't have the highest grades nor the smallest, when he's not creative yet not dull, when he's not ugly but you can't call him beautiful. Therefore a person is mediocre when he's not excellent nor completely dumb. Still, sometimes mediocre seems to me that it has a worst connotation than the sense of stupid. So, it seems better to be stupid by excellence than mediocre, ordinary, average.
Why is that when a person realizes that he doesn't have the greatest job, nor the perfect love story, nor the highest intellectual competences, nor a perfect body all the world collapses? What is the purpose of life when one cannot be the best in something, or at least for someone? How many persons are really excellent? What if one NEEDS to be excellent in one single field, whether is mopping the floor or quantic physics.
Maybe things are just the way Camil Petrescu (Romanian writer) put it: Câtă luciditate, atâta existenţă şi deci atâta dramă. One's lucidity is one's existence, therefore one's tragedy . That is, all of it hurts when you have a conscience, when you are rational, when you try to understand life, feelings, mind, people and mediocrity.
It may be utter pseudo-philosophic clumsiness what I've written above, but...I was just wandering: what about this mediocrity?

Time management

2010-01-27T05:13:00.000-08:00

This is an issue that eats my life and my brains lately. I really cannot focus on one single and important thing, I keep flying from here to there, doing nothing, hating myself for not respecting deadlines.
I recently found this interesting helpful(?) article, that I didn't read yet (yeah, I don't have time to read an article supposed to make me win time). Maybe it will help some of you that deal with my problem, but that have a consciences of their own, unlike me.Hope you´ll enjoy it!

PS: Can´t wait for the 8th of February to come, so I can work again on lovely jewelry. Have a nice week!

Great people, great designs

2010-01-24T11:24:00.000-08:00

I am playing a new funny game: it's called I-would-do-anything-but-study-for-my-exams. And today I won aprize!!! I discovered Lollyrot and Meda. Do check them out, I was mesmerized :)

New finds

2010-01-23T14:07:00.000-08:00

From time to time I update my blogroll with cool stuff I discover wandering from blog to blog, from tweet to tweet. For example now I've added the best street style blog there is in Romania: Street as Catwalk. I love every single outfit and photo composition on that site, it's really cool. Then I found out that a new one is coming to town: Rue Mauvert, really promising also, love their header :)Though, I wonder what happened to Urban Style, loved that one too.

On the other hand, for all the crafters out there check how cool this site is!

Recycle Ur Cosmo

2010-01-20T10:05:00.000-08:00

Madalina from Artizat came up with this great idea: Recycle Ur Cosmo, that is: you come Friday with your glossy magazines and the super-creative girls there will turn them in bags, decorations and jewelry. If you are not convinced yet, then what about receiving a brooch for every 5 magazines?

hip hip hooray for my snail brooch

2010-01-20T03:11:00.000-08:00

Yes, indeed, this is the second time for my fancy snail brooch to appear in an Etsy treasury list (first time) , this time thanks to Kiesha Jean who creates some amazing wall prints. My favorites are this one and this one. Which ones do you like?

Words...don't come easy

2010-01-19T03:45:00.000-08:00

I've noticed that I'm a mess when it comes to words. Although I've studied words during faculty and I'm struggling to do it right now with my master degree program, I spend hours answering to a trivial email or writing a post here, on the blog; and it hurts like hell writing a description of my items in online stores; and when it comes to school homework I'm just a silly kid trying to do anything but writing essays and projects. For example I started writing this post 43 minutes ago. What about you? Do words come easy? If they do, in what language do you express better? If you find it difficult to answer, listen this first.

Check out my UsTrendy Store

2010-01-18T13:57:00.000-08:00

You will also find there some lovely bags, dresses and all your trendy heart desires. Also the girls there are superfriendly and helpful, it's a joy dealing with them. Enjoy it!

Shifty days

2010-01-11T00:12:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago I've changed my logo, as all of you may have noticed. I know, I know, it's not professional to do that but in every January I really feel the need for change. I've always been shifty, unable to stay focused on a thing for too long. Biba Bijoux is the best thing I"ve ever had, but I still can't hold my horses when it comes for changing something about it once in a while. So, what do you think? Do you like the new one better?

And I have some good news also: some time ago I received an email where I was said that my jewelry is nice and they wanted it in their showroom in London: The Runway Showroom. I felt so great reading their email and I just hope for more international collaborations.

I wish you a great week! I will spend mine studying, but in February I will be ready again for creating new stuff for you.

Right Now People

2010-01-04T00:55:00.000-08:00

Have you ever thought of being one of the Right Now Persons? That is doing whatever you want in the precise moment you think of it. Some light examples: eating chocolate during a meeting, holding hands with the person next to you (even if that would be a first time) going for a walk at 2 a.m. without thinking that you have to be up at 7 a.m, listening loud your favorite song no matter the circumstances (office for example).
Yes, this means being irrational and maybe screwing up your well built schedule, but it will make you feel alive and realize something: how much of your actions are things that YOU WANT (or like) to do and how much of your actions are things that YOU'RE SUPPOSED to do, or that somebody else wants you to do?

I've decided to try it out. I will pick at first a day, a Saturday to see how it goes :)
What about you? Are you going to try it out?

May your life flourish...

2009-12-31T08:56:00.000-08:00

....and each and every day of the next year be unique and colorful.

Sa fie bomboane!

2009-12-24T10:05:00.000-08:00

Pe langa toate urarile pe care le-ai primit deja prin viu grai, prin scrisori, prin felicitari, prin SMS, pe mail, pe Facebook, pe Twitter, pe Messenger sau prin intermediul porumbeilor mesageri, vreau sa-ti urez sa te intorci la tine.
Sa nu-ti fie frica sa incepi.
Sa cauti linistea si zambetul interior.
Sa te bucuri de tine, de tot ce primesti si de tot ceea ce poti oferi.
Sa creezi momente minunate.
Sa nu uiti sa te joci.
Sa ai buzunarele pline cu bomboane.
Iti doresc ca, din cand in cand, sa inchizi ochii si pur si simplu sa te bucuri ca esti tu cu tine, in armonie.

La multi ani luminosi, frumosi si ferciti!

Cu drag,

Andreea

Put a smile on your face

2009-12-21T02:33:00.000-08:00

Mi-as dori sa am o camera foto in pleoapa si o imprimanta in palma. Sunt atatea momente Kodak pe care as vrea sa le impart cu voi si cu mine, cea de mai tarziu.
Uit . Mereu uit lucruri. Uneori uit, voluntar, intamplari. Ma incomodeaza sa le car cu mine. Atunci le arunc. Sa-mi fie drumul mai usor. Port cu mine doar ce-mi face bine.
De exemplu, uit foarte rar zambetul desenat cu maini de mim. Ieri a fost una din zilele un care l-am uitat sub perna. A trecut.
Azi il am cu mine. Si ar fi frumos sa-l vad pe fetele tuturor.

Hai, put a smile on your face!

Fereastra

2009-12-20T04:43:00.000-08:00

Uneori schimbi ferestra, nu pentru ca vrei, ci pentru ca nu ai de ales.
Pentru ca e veche si nu mai vezi lumea clar.
Pentru ca e posibil ca niciodata sa nu o fi vazut clar si poate noua fereastra vine cu o noua lume.
Pentru ca felul in care vedeai iti facea rau.Si ai obosit.
Dar iti e frica. Fereastra asta a fost mereu o parte din tine. E ca si cum ai porni la drum cu un handicap senzorial.
Si apoi, noua fereastra promite sa fie bine, dar cine stie? Daca te pierzi? Daca tu nu o sa mai existi niciodata? Daca atunci cand o sa te cauti nu o sa-ti mai amintesti cum erai?
Dispare fereastra, deci cheia catre lumea de acum si catre tine de acum. Urasti mai mult ce esti acum sau ce ai putea fi in noua lume, privind prin noua fereastra?

Ah! Simt ca am avut candva o cutie cu raspunsuri si acum ma uit in jur si vad un gol imens in care nu stiu cum sa caut.

Ieri in pasaj la Universitate am descoperit creatiile Elei. Si m-am ales cu brosa de mai sus, care m-a facut sa-mi fie dor de scoala (aia cu teze si materii rezonabile). I-am lua o brosa foarte tare Andrei (surpriza) si am primit una halucinanta cadou :) Ii multumesc mult Elei si o felicit pentru brosele ei care par franturi de amintiri prafuite si incetosate de experienta si timp, care perimeaza si modifica ceea ce tu stiai ca e o amintire.

Ieri a fost una din putinele zile in care nu mi-am petrecut timpul la Dalles, unde oricat de obositor si inutil ar fi, mie tot imi place. Pentru ca am sansa sa petrec o luna alturi de prietenele mele de care imi era atat de dor, purtand discutii de la Basescu vs Geoana la nastere naturala vs cezariana;de la alimetatie completa vs. excluderea alimentelor de origine animala la marketing, argumentare, sanatate, bani, emigrare, istorie, frumusete, amintiri, povestiri, fuste, psihologie, rochii, jabouri, sintetic, House, bumbac etc. You name it :)

Mai sus sunt eu, puratand o grandioasa palarie Fandacsia, o brosa Burp - Sea Princes si am in mana Fandacsia mea rosie de toate zilele :) Photo credit: Horia.

Va astept si pe voi :)

Ceea ce ma bucura foarte tare, sa fiu alaturi de Noko si Kitten, oameni cu plus plus imaginatie.

Biba Bijoux Got featured on an Etsy Treasury...

2009-09-10T06:20:00.000-07:00

...thanks to Linkel and the lovely girls from S and O productions (who told me the news).

So, what do you think?

In curand...

2009-09-07T10:14:00.000-07:00

...vois pune tot despre asta.

New hint: e un proiect la care participa si Burp, Fandacsia, Virginia Toma, Radha, Gourmandise, Sense Plastique si inca 4 pe care din pacate nu mi-i amintesc. Totul adunat de Monica :)

Family box

2009-09-07T08:27:00.000-07:00

Un haos complet cu case, familii, culori, covoare, dulapioare si diplome. Indecizie, frica, dezechilibru, curiozitate si renastere.

Nu le-am pus pe toate in cutie, pentru cadou am impachetat frumos respectul si recunostiinta.

Nu are sens? E ciudat nici eu nu mai gasesc sensuri. Dar caut.

Draga Theo,

2009-09-03T12:17:00.000-07:00

Sa nu ne pierdem curajul, sa nu renuntam in a cauta blandetea, smerenia, rabdarea. Nu trebuie sa te simti prost pentru ca tu esti altfel decat ceilalti, du-ti viata alaturi de ei, fa deosebirea dintre bine si rau cu toata grija, chiar daca nu lasi sa se bage de seama. Fa asta doar pentru tine.

Multora dintre pictori le e teama de o panza alba, dar unei panze albe ii e frica de un pictor adevarat si plin de pasiune, care indrazneste - si care a reusit - sa invinga acel fascinant "nu esti in stare de nimic".

[...] cerul instelat ma face intotdeauna sa visez, cu aceeasi simplitate cu care ma indeamna spre reverie punctele negre de pe harta care inchipuie orasele si satele. Si de ce, ma intreb, punctele luminoase de pe firmament ne-ar fi mai putin accesibile decat punctele negre de pe harta Frantei? Daca luam un tren ca sa ne ducem al Tarascon sau la Rouen, ca sa ajungem intr-o stea, luam careta mortii. In mod sigur adevarat in rationamentul acesta, este faptul ca atata vreme cat suntem in viata, nu en putem duce intr-o stea, iar, morti fiind, nu putem lua niciun fel de tren.

(fragmente din scrisorile lui Vincent Van Gogh catre fratele sau Theo)

Weekendul trecut mi l-am petrecut cu Vincent.

Si a fost frumos.

Si trist.

Niciodata nu e prea traziu...

2009-09-03T11:55:00.000-07:00

...sa anunti aparitia de anul trecut in Ideal Mariaj alaturi de Burp :)

R

2009-08-28T12:11:00.000-07:00

Am inceput sa lucrez la proiectul R de pe la sfarsitul lui iunie. De vreo 2 saptamani am lucrat intes. Mai am jumatate si termin. Sper ca in cel tarziu 2 saptamani va voi putea da detaliile R.

Bijoux-urile de mai sus sunt lucrate din aluminiu aplatizat si pietre de sticla. Unele noi, pe care nu le pot folosi la cupru - cele roz si turcoaz- pentru ca intunecimea cuprului le fura tot farmecul.

Pe langa formele abstracte sau geometrice am modelat si pisici-medalioane.

Abia astept sa va pot spune despre ce este vorba si sa va arat totul.

Pana atunci, zile insorite!

Fragmente din umila mea existenta

2009-08-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

Am fost la bunici.

Unde pauzele erau dulci si parfumate: struguri tamaiosi si nuci verzi.

Unde pisica nu statea la mangaiat.

Unde catelul cu breton venea sa te pupe.

Unde am ras de gaina punk :D

Pauze de la ce? De la mestecat in gemul de prune.
Si de la copt vinete. (vinetele nu erau fotogenice, dar mirosul era imbietor).

Si am lasat ce-i mai bun al sfarsit. Vladut - cel mai cumimte si frumos verisor din lume :)

Si istet, bineinteles

Anul trecut pe vremea asta...

2009-08-20T08:12:00.000-07:00

...eram prin Fagaras.

Anul asta....

...un fel de staycation :)

Muffinlicious

2009-08-19T07:38:00.000-07:00

Saptamana trecuta, in Bucuresti, am petrecut mult timp cu Cristina care are un acasa tare frumos, am iesit la un frappe cu Rodica, la un shake cu Geoki, la o limonada cu Denisa,Andreea si Ana, la o apa plata cu lamaie cu Virginia, am dat din intamplare (una fericita) si peste Monica si m-am plimbat prin Cismigiu.

Si ca trecerea mea pe acolo sa fie credibila, am lasat cateva amintiri pufoase la Hippie Hippie Shake in gang. Sunt Muffinlicious din fetru si sticla :)

Si in finalul apoteotic, de oscaruri: Thanks to Cristina who made all this possible :)

In ultima luna...

2009-08-16T11:45:00.000-07:00

...am lipsit, am abadnonat, m-am transformat. Acasa nu mai e Bucuresti, acum e Rm. Valcea. Si mi-a luat cam o luna de tacere sa ma adaptez psihic si inca nu sunt vindecata de dor de Bucuresti.
In timpul asta, doua lucruri majore s-au intamplat: am din nou un pis mic si am vazut Band Of Brothers. Oricarei persoane interesate de WWII, psihologia soldatului., prietenie, loialitate, viata si moarte le recomand din suflet sa-si faca timp sa-l vada, cel mai bine in singuratate, acasa, fara sa riscati sa fiti intrerupti. E cu siguramta unul dintre cele mai emotionante filme pe care le-am vazut.

Cat despre pis: e nebun de legat si ma bucur ca sora mea l-a cules de pe strada.

Doua pisicute isi cauta adapost

2009-07-14T02:57:00.000-07:00

Am primit acest mail ieri; "Am o rugaminte, stii pe cineva care isi doreste sa adopte 1-2 pui de pisica? Ma chinui de ceva timp sa gasesc stapani pentru doua pisicute si chiar nu am gasit. Au 3 luni si le am de la o zi, sunt crescute in casa, educate la litiera, cu vaccinurile la zi, deparazitate si bineinteles sunt foarte iubitoare si jucause"

Daca aveti pofta de un nou sug=fletel care sa bantuie prin casa o puteti contacta pe Adina la catwoman55air@yahoo.com.

PS: din numele pozelor am descoperit ca cea neagra e Chloe si cea tigrata Daisy ;)) ce nume frumoase.Pe pisoii pritenului meu ii cheama: Farfurica, Degetica, Bismark si tot asa. E o diferenta, nu?

Voteaza designerii preferati

2009-07-11T00:52:00.000-07:00

Ciudat

2009-06-25T22:29:00.000-07:00

Ciudat ca noaptea trecuta am postat poezia, si acum aflu asta...a plecat in Neverland :( Patetic sau nu, eu chiar il consider un geniu al muzicii si al dansului. Adica, eu nu cred ca exista un om pe planeta, caruia sa nu-i fi placut cel putin o melodie a lui sau caruia sa nu-i trezeasca amintiri palcute....da.

Fluturasii

2009-06-25T13:34:00.000-07:00

Fluturasii zboara in vazduh.
Toti sunt plini de duh.
Numai unul,
Zapacit si ratacit,
Facand pe nebunul,
A murit.

(Andreea, 9 ani)

Asta a fos poezia mea atunci, uneori cred ca e amea si acum. Tu ce poezie ai avut? Arata-mi :)
