Saturday Shopping list

My shopping list is all about teenagers, ...
This afternoon I have to attend the Holy Communion Feast of my sisters eldest daughter Marie.
She is twelve. So I've been looking for presents that she would like to get. My eldest daughter, Maia , is almost twelve too. So I let me inspire by the things she has on her wishlist!
enjoy!

Blooming Vine Scarf in Cherry by Fray
Mia handbag red flowers by emmapardos
Lily studs coral by Karuski
White bunny bookmark by Krize

And I've been browsing my own shop too, to find stuff teenagers would like to wear.

It made me think maybe I make a teenager section in my Etsy shop. For creations that are a bit more whimsical and not to expensive, perfect for teenagers!

My creative workspace has the color Verdigris

I am so much into Verdigris lately, I could paint everything into Verdigris! :-)
(Verdigris creatures in Copenhagen)

(find my new verdigris creations in my shop)

But what exactly is Verdigris?: Verdigris is the common name for the green coating or patina formed when copper, brass or bronze is weathered and exposed to air or seawater over a period of time.

The name Verdigris comes from the Middle English vertegrez, from the Old French verte grez, an alteration of vert-de-Grèce ("green of Greece"). The modern French spelling of this word is vert-de-gris. Since it was used as a pigment in paintings and other art objects (as green color), it was required by artists in Greece. (Notice that my Verdigris is a bit more turquoise then green)

FLOWERS FOR MOMMY!

I give free shipping on all purchases in celebration of Mothers Day!
(from now on till May 10th)

and I have a new Gift certificate in my shop !( click on the picture to go to the shop)

If you had told me , twenty years ago, I would have 4 kids at my 40th. I would have thought you were joking.
I never planned to have a bunch of kids! But it just went that way.
After we found out that it was not so easy to have kids of our own, we decided to adopt (and God how I love these girls). All of a sudden (well...) I was pregnant, unprepared!
The first moment I was not ready for a third child, I was so happy with the two girls and that was enough for me, but when the pregnancy proceeded, I began to like the idea of three kids, and when I heard it would be a third daughter I was excited!
I must admit, when I gave birth to a daughter with Downsyndrome, my world collapsed.
But it was hubby who made me see that we had nothing to lose and that life (and happiness) did not stop by having a daughter with handicap. And I thought: why not go for a 4th child, and less the a year later I gave birth to a boy!
and here I am : mother of four!

aren't they lovely : my kids!
