chocolate creative open house on 7-8 May

I am getting very excited about the Artist's open house event next week. As part of the Dulwich festival, myself, Kate, and Louise will be selling our work from my home/studio in South London. The sign is already outside my house, and I will start doing the garden tomorrow, prepare the house and stock for the event, so if you live in London, this Festival is a great opportunity to buy directly from the many artists/designers that will take part,...

designersmakers NEW market in London

It makes me very happy to see NEW venues for designers/makers popping up, specially if they are as well thought, marketed and curated as this one is. This new market is called designermakers, and it is not just a market, it is a venue for networking, and spreading the word about the good design practice. It has always been a dream of mine to create something similar back home in Gran Canaria, as there is a luck of projects such as this to support...

MAY, save your date for the next events

Sun is out and we are heading into a busy May, full of events all over the city. I wish I could attend most of them, but being realistic I know that time will only allow for a few, so I will make my priorities and make my way to my 'must' go list!! 7-8 May I have got my invite for the Cavaliero Finn Spring Show, held in a beautiful elegant house in Herne Hill. The show is part of the Dulwich Festival, and will have on displayed work from different artists and designers, so I will join Debra and Julianna in their opening night to enjoy this year's...

Great Britain Railway Travel Posters

I have been in love for quite sometimes with these vintage posters that the British railway company used to promote the traveling by train in the country. Needless to say that my favorite is the deer in the Scottish highlands. I spent a week traveling around this landmarks and find them one of the most amazing places I have been so far, plus I have a fascination with deers that is often present in my designs, so I will get this one for my living...

A relaxed and gorgeous weekend...

Back from a peaceful, relaxed and gorgeous weekend, I have spent the last two days in the remote and quiet town of La Aldea de San Nicolas, a small town far far from the rest of the world. Ate fresh fruit collected straight from the land, fresh fish by the beach, did a lot of walking, went to a hidden beach, etc...I wish I could bring some of this with me back to London, the feeling of total calm, and peace that I feel when I am here, the tranquility...

The perfect balance – Montes+Mujica shop

These photos from interiors shop Montes+Mujica in el Pais Vasco, represent the perfect balance I like to achieve when it comes to decorating. I was browsing an old copy of Nuevo Estilo magazine and found myself again and again hooked on this images, more in the online version of the magazine. The right mix of industrial lighting, old pieces, art, white big sofas, more contemporary pieces and plenty of light. Perfect!!(photos from Nuevo Esti...

Amazing sunny renovation!

I am in Gran Canaria, got here yesterday after having missed my flight from London on Monday, due to a huge accident on the motor-way that leads to the airport. Had to buy a new ticket and wait till yesterday to hug my mum and kiss my boyfriend...but learned an important lesson, that sometimes things happen, that are out of your control, and you better relax, find a solution and hope for the best, they say money does not provide you with happiness,...
