these beautiful illustrations came from the lovely and talented Monica. she was one of the first people I ever made a swap with, and last night we finally got to meet in person. When I found out she was coming to Lisbon for a visit I just had to order my two favourite ones: "la espera" and "soledades y molinillos", to which she added "el viaje". Monica, it was great to meet you - hope you and Carlos had a nice time yesterday and that you're enjoying yourselves in Lisbon :)
and these came from another of my favourite illustrators, Rute Reimão. When I saw that she had finally decided to sell some of her original work, I had to stop myself from getting all of them. I ended up choosing these two colored ones, and with them came a third delicious drawing.
and if you're wondering where all these are going to, I have plans for them in my new crafts room soon...
and finally this also arrived yesterday, another fabulous package from Glá, full of wonderful brazilian fabrics (Glá, temos mesmo gostos parecidos, não há dúvida !) and other cute goodies. Thank you so much, I'm getting a package out to you this week so keep an eye on your mailbox soon :)
