Feeling... blue.

As a non-english native speaker I always wonder about the meaning of the expression "feeling blue". Is it because blue is associated to sadness? I think that cannot be the explanation, because blue, in all of its shades, is such a beautiful color and has no relation -at least for me- with anything but wealth, luxury, relax...

What do you think about blue? Tell me, I´d love to know :)

Meanwhile, let´s check what blues I have found in these amazing shops!

From Ms Formaldehyde, this attractive Fascinator in 1920s style

Found at Redemption Art´s shop, this lovely Fenton Christmas Plate Hand Painted by Lisa W

DIY: A fresh idea for a little chair

Some time ago I have bought for my son a plain little chair and a table of his size for multiple uses :)

Of course it was my idea when I brought them home (almost a year ago) to paint and decorate them with a fun style. Well, it took me ages, but I finally found the time -as one of my New Year´s resolutions- and put brush, acrylics & varnish to work!

Hace un tiempito atrás he comprado para mi hijo una sencilla mesa y silla para múltiples usos :)

Por supuesto que mi idea era cuando las traje a casa (hace casi un año atrás) el pintarlas y decorarlas con un estilo divertido. Bueno, me tomó siglos pero finalmente encontré el tiempo -fue una de mis resoluciones de Año Nuevo- y puse pincel, acrílicos y barniz a trabajar!
