They say that this is the Season for Giving, and I like giving, not only to my family and friends but I also like giving little gifts to other special people out there who make my life so much easier and nicer, like my children's teachers for their infinite patience, or those other mum's in my community who lend me a helping hand with the school runs (very much appreciated I must say).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year I have been unusually foresighted and have already started getting those little gifts ready. I have made a couple of very cute brooches which will make sweet little gifts without breaking the bank. I also made a few extra ones to list in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReyesRobledo?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">my shop</a>, these would be great teacher's or Secret Santa gifts (amigo invisible in Spanish). You can check them out<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReyesRobledo?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank"> here.</a></div>

Hello, It's been a while... this is always the phrase that comes to mind each time I decide to write a new post and look at the date of my last post. Has it really been over 6 months?? Where did all that time go!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lately I have been busy designing, making and listing new things in my shop on a weekly basis, I can´t remember when was the last time I added so many new designs in such a short period of time, and it doesn´t really matter, I am loving what I am doing now and I hope that so will you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm begining with this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/556744306/moon-earrings-verdigris-patina-long?ref=shop_home_active_4" target="_blank">full moon earrings</a> because those sweet smiling faces make me happy and I really like how they turned out! Plus, they are light (for me ithis is always a bonus) and they are hand painted which means that each one is unique in a special way. </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">Just a little post to show you two
favorite items from my shop</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
which I have just listed again after a long, long time. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I love working with vintage components and natural
stones, but the problem with working with these materials is that sometimes
once a particular bead or finding is gone, it is gone forever, that’s why I was
so happy when I recently came across these little amazonite ovals and I was
able to make these dainty dragonfly earrings again. I had tried making them with other amazonite
beads but somehow the result was not the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">These are the
earrings I wore to my sister’s wedding.
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I stopped making them about a year ago, for no particular reason,
sometimes I stop making old designs to focus on new things.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Anyway,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">a few weeks ago I wore my pair to a dinner party, the earrings got many
compliments</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">so I decided to make and
list them again. They are rather pretty aren´t they?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">We've had the worst Spring I can remember
in years! It's been cold, it's been grey and it's been raining nearly non-stop
for the past three months. I feel as if roots may start to grow from my
feet any time from all the humidity. As
a consequence we have been spending a lot of time indoors trying to keep the
children busy, we have played board games, we have baked, we have read, we have
embroidered… or at least the kids did, I am still hopeless with a needle and
thread. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Our patio looks like the amazon jungle right
now, the grass, the bushes, everything is wild! This weekend we have been very busy trying to get make it resemble a garden again, but more rains are coming which means
that by Friday everything will be wild again. Fighting against nature is hard
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The only good thing about all this rain is that the fields behind our home look this beautiful!
I don`t think I have ever seen them this green and flowery… and the poppies! Aren´t
they amazing! I just love poppies and these almost make the “bleh” Spring we have been having worthwhile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">I
know, I know, Fall has really been with us for quite some time now but we have
been enjoying such wonderful, mild, sunny weather here in Madrid that I have
not really realized it until this week, when grey skies suddenly came upon us
and it started to rain non-stop.</span> A whole week of rain, so very necessary
for the country side but I must admit, a bit depressing for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Don´t
get me wrong, I like Fall, it’s just that I find it hard to adjust to it, the
sudden cold, the lack of sun, the shorter days… on the other hand, it’s precisely
these things I don’t like that bring about the things I love about Fall, cozy
sweaters, reading by the fire, lentil soup (any kind of soup really), as well
as my latest obsession, knitting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So
until I finally settle into this season and gather strength for Winter, which
is really just around the corner, I will do my best to concentrate on the
things that bring me joy, the shift in colors, sharing a cup of coffee with
good friends or baking with my children.
Scones seem to be a favorite of theirs this season and <a href="http://www.foodtolove.com.au/recipes/basic-scones-25339" target="_blank">this recipe </a>is
just so easy and so delicious too. And
what about you? Is there anything you specially like about Fall?</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Have a lovely week.</span></span></div>

Most of my designs are made during the Spring and Summer months. The days are longer, the light is amazing and as the kids have no school I have a lot less obligations (no soccer practice, basketball practice, Art class, Judo... you name it, my kids probably do it and I drive them there), I feel more relaxed and that sort of makes my creative impulses go bubbly and ready to create. This year was different though, my creativity was directed towards my <a href="http://reyesrobledo.blogspot.com.es/2015/09/in-my-absence-i-started-painting.html" target="_blank">art work</a> so did very little work on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReyesRobledo?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">jewlery</a>, hence, I really should not do an studio update blog post today.... BUT, one of the good things about not having updated the blog in over a year is that I have I not shared any of the designs I made during that time with you which is just what I am about to do (relax, I am not going to swamp you with images, I have just picked a few of my current favorites).</div>

This <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/183205757/dragonfly-necklace-dragonfly-pendant?ref=related-1" target="_blank">dragonfly necklace</a>... delicate, whimsy. One of my favorite designs from last year. It is made of a brass antique replica dragonfly and then it was hand painted to acquire that lovely verdigris tone. When I see it I am reminded of those gorgeous wild Victorian gardens. If you also follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Reyes-Robledo-Vintage-Style-Jewelry-114152265325808/timeline/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> you probably know that I have a slight dragonfly obsession... which is one of the reasons why I like this necklace so much!</div>

I am specially happy with this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/230554404/antique-crystal-pendulum-layering?ref=related-0" target="_blank">pendulum necklace</a>, not because of the necklace itself, but because it was so, so hard to photograph!! Crystal pendulums reflect light... everywhere! Technical problems aside, the necklace is lovely, the pendulum was salvaged from vintage light fittings bought in the UK many years ago. I really enjoy giving "a new life" to vintage objects. I also have a theory that objects made years ago are usually better than those made today, mainly because there was not so much consumerism, people bought a lot less things but those they bought were made to last a lifetime. I try to do this in my everyday life as well, buy less things but those I buy of better quality so they will last my family for ages and who knows, maybe even become future family heirlooms?<br />
<br />
I hope you like them. Have a lovely day!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Summer in Madrid we enjoyed one of the worst heat waves in recent history, the kind of heat wave that makes you spend all day long sitting down in the shade drinking ice water. So for the first couple of days of July I did just that, nothing, and then, I became restless, I needed to do something creative. Working on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReyesRobledo?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">jewelry</a> did not seem very appealing, my studio is located in the attic and in Summer that room is like a big oven and I did not feel specially like going up and down stairs several times a day in search of whatever supplies I needed. I also needed to find something I could do with my children who were on their Summer break and watching way too much tv and so, one fine day, I suddenly felt the urge to start sketching, doodling, whatever you may want to call it.</div>

After searching frantically through the whole house for my watercolors and not finding them I decided to use my kids watercolors instead (you know that feeling when you want to do something and it has to be done immediately...), so, I took all the materials to the patio, gathered my 3 kids around the table and we all started playing around with the brushes and the paint and unknowingly started a new Summer "ritual" that brought so much joy to all of us. </div>

Every afternoon we would set up "art camp" and spend about and hour painting together. My kids drew flowers from the garden, fruit, robots, whatever! I loved seeing their own personal style develop and flourish. As for me, I had not done any watercolor painting in years and this time, instead of doing the more "academic style" paintings I used to do years ago I opted for more informal, quick sketches and what can I say, I had not had so much fun in years (makes me wonder why did I stop doing it in the first place??).</div>

Sometimes a change in routines can be a very positive thing. I discovered a new family activity which was hugely enjoyed by all of my three kids at the same time (due to their age differences and different tastes these kind of "group" activities don´t always work so well). As for me, I have rediscovered a long forgotten love which is always very nice.

Things have been very quiet here lately, the opposite of what is going on at home. Spring has sprung in all its glory. The patio is in full bloom, the sun is bright, warm and shining and so many outings and outdoor fêtes have been enjoyed by the family. Summer clothes have come out of the closet and some very white toes have timidly peeped from sandals. For over a month it has felt like Summer, my very brave kids have gone outdoor swimming and I, carried away by the glorious sunlight, have bought watermelon, rockmelon and started making gazpacho, all of them completely tasteless I must add as it is really too early and the fruits were not ripe enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life at the studio has been productive but not very inspiring. I have been working on some commissions that implied making the same necklace over and over again. I hope to finish them soon so that I can concentrate on some new creative projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And speaking of creativity, lately I have been very inspired by a few French blogs. I have specially liked <a href="http://olivelse.typepad.fr/">this one </a>and <a href="http://happily.fr/">this one</a>. Oh, and I was featured in this beautiful blog, T<a href="http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/2014/04/sponsor-spotlight-fish-indie.html">he peak of tres chic</a>, which was quite lovely surprise as it is one of my current favorite blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is roughly it, I promise I will do my utmost to publish posts with a certain regularity, I hope I succeed!!</div>

<i>El blog ha estado muy tranquilo últimamente, todo lo contrario que mi casa. La primavera nos llegó de sopetón y de momento está siendo gloriosa. Todas las plantas del patio han florecido, el sol brilla y reluce y estamos disfrutando de un tiempo muy cálido, de manera que estamos haciendo mucha vida fuera de casa y disfrutando de eventos al aire libre. He sacado ya la ropa de verano, y mis deditos de los pies blancos como la leche de todo el invierno se asoman por mis sandalias. Desde hace un mes parece que estamos en verano, mis muy valientes hijos ya se han bañado en la piscina y yo influenciada por todo este calorcito ya me he puesto a hacer gazpacho y a comprar sandía y melón. Error! no saben a nada, parece verano pero no lo es y realmente no es la temporada de estas frutas.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>En el estudio llevo una racha muy productiva pero poco inspiracional. He estado trabajando en unos encargos en los que basicamente, se repite el mismo collar una y otra vez. Espero terminar esta semana para empezar algún otro proyecto un poco más creativo.</i></div>

Ok, ok, I am always in the middle of a Victorian phase, but right now, ever more so. Over the holidays I watched the film adaptations of two of my favourite books, Jane Eyre and the Secret Garden. Although the Secret Garden is not really a Victorian novel, it does have a certain Victorian gothic feeling (a Manor House full of secrets and mysteries in the lush and green British Countryside). Give me a full costume drama series or, in this case, films, any time!</span></span></span></div>

I personally would call classical portraits with a twist.<span> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First of all, let me tell you that this is not an original idea of mine, I found it in the “<a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/" target="_blank">A Beautiful Mess blog</a>”, but I liked it so much that I decided to join in the challenge and share it with you!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_1811" style="font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">The challenge, basically goes like this: you have to choose 4 goals before the end of the to help you create healthy, life-enriching habits during the busiest time of the year. To do this, you must follow these very easy rules (the rules I have copied from the<a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/" target="_blank"> blog)</a>.</span></div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_1802" style="font-size: 19px;">

<span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2088" lang="EN-GB"><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2087" style="font-size: small;"><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2086" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2146" style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">1. Choose <em style="font-style: italic;">simple</em> goals that will make your life richer and happier on a daily basis. Choose things you may not otherwise get done but are not difficult to accomplish. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2150" style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Do not choose result oriented goals. Choose activity oriented goals. For example, instead of "lose 10 pounds ", choose something like "eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day". Get what I'm saying? Positive actions instead of just the end result! </span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">3. Choose personal goals you believe will truly make your life richer just by doing them! They can be daily, weekly or one time experiences. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">4. Choose a reward for each goal as it is accomplished! It can be a small or large reward—it's up to you. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">5. Blog about your goals, each one as you achieve it and a write a post when they are all finished before the new year.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 19px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Easy, right? And here are my four goals</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. I have lots of plates, cups, table cloths, although none of them are ugly, some are more beautiful than others but I always end up using the not so pretty ones. What's the use of having special things if you never use them? So my first goal is just that, to use my pretty home-ware all the time and not just when I have guests.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: 19px;">2.</span><span style="font-size: 9px;"> </span></span><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2186" lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 19px;"><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2185" style="font-size: small;">No more elevators. Right now on my daily routine, the only place where there are elevators is at work, and my office is on the third floor, so I really do think that I will easily be able to do this little bit of extra-exercise on a daily basis</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">3.</span><span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Try new, delicious and exciting recipes for all our family meals! I have already started to do this and it’s a lot of fun, specially re-discovering my old recipe books that I had not looked at in ages.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">4.</span><span style="font-size: 9px;"> </span></span><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2156" lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 19px;"><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1384880081109_2155" style="font-size: small;">This last one, is a little bit frivolous, but hey, this is a list of things that should make me feel better. Ok, my last goal is to find each morning 5 minutes to apply a little bit of concealer and a touch of blush so I will not arrive to work every morning looking like The Corpse Bride (some people have told me that I am actually more like Morticia Adams but without the glamour of Angelica Houston...). Seriously, when you look better you feel better, and the other way around, and let’s face it, it’s always nicer to get a compliment than to get asked if you are feeling ok as you have a sickly look about you…</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">------------</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lo primero, esta no es una idea mía original, la he copiado del blog "<a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/" target="_blank">A Beautiful Mess</a>", pero me ha gustado tanto que he decidido unirme al reto, y de paso, compartirlo con vosotros.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">El reto es el siguiente, tienes que elegir cuatro cosas que te ayuden a llevar una vida más sana y más rica. Para ello tienes que seguir estas sencillas reglas:</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">1. Elige metas sencillas que te hagan sentirte mejor a diario. Elige cosas sencillas, que no supongan un gran esfuerzo pero que sean cosas que no hagas normalmente.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">2. Esto no va de "conseguir objetivos", por ejemplo, en vez de decir "voy a perder 5 kilos", elige "comer más fruta y verdura a diario". Aquí lo importante son las acciones positivas más que el resultado final.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">3. Piensa en metas personales que tu consideras que te harán sentir mejor a ti. Pueden ser cosas que vas a hacer a diario, semanalmente o simplemente una sola vez.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">4. Date un premio cada vez que consigas una meta, puede ser un súper premio o un mini-premio, tu eliges.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">5. Escribe en tu blog sobre tus logros conforme los vayas consiguiendo y antes de finalizar el año escribe un post sobre todo lo que has conseguido.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fácil, verdad? Muy bien, pues estos son mis cuatro objetivos:</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. Utilizar todos mis platos, tazas y manteles bonitos a diario. De que sirve tener cosas especiales si nunca los usas??!!! Los tengo guardaditos y sólo los uso cuando tengo visitas. Así que ese es mi primer objetivo para embellecer mi día a día.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. Se acabaron los ascensores. En mi día a día el único sitio en el que hay ascensores es en mi trabajo, y yo trabajo en la tercera planta, por lo que pienso que, este pequeño reto, me obligará a hacer un poco más de ejercicio pero sin suponerme un gran esfuerzo.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. Probar nuevas recetas en todas las comidas, eso incluye el desayuno. Con esto ya he empezado, he sacado todos mis libros de recetas y la verdad es que he pasado un rato muy bueno mirando posibles platos que voy a preparar.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; text-align: justify;">

Mi ultimo objetivo es un tanto frívolo, pero se supone que esto es un listado que me hará sentir mejor a mi. Ahí va, dedicar todas las mañanas cinco minutitos a poner un poco de anti-ojeras y de colorete para no parecer la Novia Cadáver (aunque hay quien diría que realmente me parezco más a Morticia Adams pero sin el glamour de Angelica Houston...). Ahora en serio, si te ves bien, te sientes mejor, y al revés, y siempre es más agradable que te digan un cumplido a que te pregunten si estás enferma porque tienes un aspecto un tanto enfermizo...</span></span></div>

They also taste, well, gross, very astringent, it also feels as if you have been eating sand paper instead of a berry. My theory is that at some point in history, someone decided that such a beautiful berry had to be good for something and so, they decided to make liquor with them which, by the way, is really quite good.</span></span></span></div>

También tienen un sabor que sólo se puede describir como asquerosito, aspero, aspero, si te comes una luego tienes la sensación de que lo que has comido es papel de lija.

As you have probably guessed, I was weak, very weak, but I could not help myself. These dainty glass jewels were so lovely and they looked so vintage, but wait! That´s because they ARE vintage. They were made in the Czech Republic in the 1950´s which is really quite a long time ago.

My first impression was… it’s written in Swedish!! (dratt, I should have taken Swedish at school instead of Japanese!) Now seriously, it is in Swedish but, there is a magical “translate” button which lets you read all the texts in Engelska (English) or any other language that you should wish for. The translations are at times somewhat “creative” but overall you do get the idea of what the text is saying.</span></span></span></div>

Mi primera impresión fue… Está todo en Sueco!!! (porras, tenía que haber estudiado Sueco en el insti en vez de Japonés!), ahora en serio, si, está en Sueco, pero hay un botón mágico en el que pone “translate” y lo puedes ver en el idioma que quieras, Engelska (inglés) o Spanska (Español) e incluso Latín (eso se escribe igual).

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://mokkasin.blogspot.com.es/" target="_blank">Mokkasin</a> is the work of the very talented Sofia Jansson, not only does she run the amazing online boutique of the same name, but she also takes all the photos which as you can see, are truly amazing. Through them we get to see what’s going on in the shop, visit her beautiful home, and meet her lovely family, I love her children’s names Liv, Viggo, Charlie and Nomi. As a mum of three (my kids are a bit younger than hers) I am always inspired by blogs that depict large families. Juggling a job, family and home can get a bit overwhelming at times, so it is always nice reading about how other people are dealing with the same things as I am. It is also humbling, after seeing all her photos I am aware of how much I have to improve mine...</span></span></div>

Sofía, además de encargarse de la alucinante tienda del mismo nombre, también hace todas las fotos del blog que, como podéis ver son una pasada. Gracias a ellas vemos las novedades de la tienda, visitamos su casa, conocemos a su preciosa familia (me encantan los nombres de sus niños, Viggo, Charlie y Nomi). Como madre de tres (mis hijos son un poco más pequeños que los suyos), en ocasiones eso de compaginar trabajo, familia y casa me resulta un tanto complicado así que me encantan los blogs en los que salen familias numerosas para ver como se organizan en otras familias y lugares. También me ha dado una pequeña lección de humildad, después de ver sus fotos me he dado cuenta de lo mucho que me queda para mejorar las mías...</i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This
weekend we were in La Mancha. This region of Spain has a great many wonderful
things, but the are we were in is specially famous for three things: Cheese,
Don Quixote and Windmills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Manchego” cheese was already one of my favourites so no big surprises
there, if you’ve never tried it, please do so, it’s delicious. Don Quixote is
very much present everywhere, we stayed in a little house in El Toboso which is
where Don Quixote’s sweetheart lived and the whole town is full of gorgeous
tiles with excerpts and references to the novel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And finally the windmills… I had often seen them in pictures
but I had never realized just how utterly amazing they are until I saw them in person,
not only are the buildings aesthetically beautiful but the inside, oh! a true showcase
of 15<sup>th</sup> century state of the art technology. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These mills were used
to grind wheat and by means of a clever use of levers, poles and of course,
wind, they could be manned by just one person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ones we visited were from the 15<sup>th</sup> and 16<sup>th</sup>
Century and worked so well that were in use until the 1950`s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

confess that as much I enjoy these weekend outings, I think that lately we may
just have had a bit too many. I am actually looking forward to staying for a
full weekend at home with no scheduled plans, maybe try a new recipe or bake
something delicious, start a new craft project with the kids or just to seat by
the fireplace with a good book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

estupendas, pero la zona en la que estuvimos nosotros, creo que es
especialmente conocida por tres, el queso, por ser tierra de Don Quijote y por
los Molinos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>El queso, delicioso.
Don Quijote, muy presente por todos lados, nosotros nos quedamos en El Toboso,
el hogar de Dulcinea, y el pueblo estaba lleno de preciosos azulejos con
referencias a la novela. Y los molinos… alucinantes!!! Mira que he visto mil
fotos de molinos a lo largo de mi vida, pero hasta que no los ves en persona,
realmente no te das cuenta de lo increíbles que son. El edificio en si es una
preciosidad, pero por dentro son un verdadero ejemplo de tecnología punta del
Siglo 15. </i></span></span></div>

sistema de palancas, vigas y por supuesto, viento, podían ser operadas por sólo

The first couple of weeks were spent unpacking all the stuff I had packed away for the renovating (well, nearly everything, I still have a couple of boxes to go, sick of boxes…). Then came that wonderful process that always follows a renovation, the stage where you can not find anything. I am still working on this and wondering each day what strange logical thinking method was I using when I took the stuff out of the boxes and put it away. Thankfully, I have found enough things to start working on some new designs. What do you think?</span></span></div>

Luego llegó esa maravillosa etapa que sigue a cualquier reforma que se precie, y es el periodo de “no encuentro absolutamente nada”. Todavía me encuentro en medio de esta etapa en la que me pregunto a diario en que extraña lógica estaba pensando cuando saqué las cosas de las cajas y las guardé no se sabe dónde.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I was little and we lived in Rioja (before moving to Australia), I remember my mum used to spend most of the Autumn months cooking, canning and preserving in the kitchen. She would make delicious fruit jam and pear and peach preserves, tomato sauce, salsa, peppers…</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381781760789_6834"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The thing is that La Rioja is so fertile, and fruit and vegetables are not only incredibly tasty but also, so abundant! ( Madrid has a great many wonderful things, but quality fruit and veggies are not one of them).</span></div>

On Saturday morning without getting up too early or making a huge effort we went walking and along the way picked mushrooms (boletus edilus, delicious!) and walnuts. Once home we helped my sister pick tomatoes from her orchard. We also got some red peppers from the local variety (piquillo), but these we bought from the local market. Peppers are the only thing that we still make preserves with at home. It is quite a lengthy process as first you have to roast them, peel them, put them in cans and then boil the cans. It can also get quite messy (the pepper juice stains everything a horrid yellow colour). On the other hand, if you do it with a group of friends or with family like we did, it can be a lot of fun and you get to eat delicious peppers all year round!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><i>Cuando yo era pequeña y vivíamos en La Rioja (antes de mudarnos a Australia), me acuerdo que mi madre se pasaba la mayor parte del Otoño metida en la cocina haciendo mermeladas y todo tipo de conservas (de fruta, de tomate, fritada, pimientos).

Una vez en casa ayudamos a mi hermana a recolectar tomates cherry de su huerta. También cogimos unos pimientos del piquillo (estos comprados) para embotarlos. Los pimientos son de las pocas cosas que todavía preparamos en conserva. Es verdad que el proceso es un poco largo porque hay que asarlos, pelarlos, embotarlos, cocer los botes… y además es un proceso un tanto “guarrete” porque el juguito de los pimientos tiñe todo de un color amarillento asquerosito, pero, si lo haces con un grupo de amigos o con tu familia como lo hicimos nosotros puede ser muy divertido y además, te llevas unos botes de pimientos deliciosos a casa al finalizar el día!</i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">One day I came upon the work of the very talented photographer <a href="http://www.themakersproject.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer Causey</a> and her <a href="http://www.themakersproject.com/" target="_blank">“The Makers” project</a>, a series of gorgeous photos depicting artists at work in their studios. Most of these artists are New York based and all of the studios are amazing, but there is one, that for me, stood out from the rest, and that is the work space of the Florist Amy Merrick. Wow. All I could think of was I want that studio (I still do, in fact, I wouldn’t mind living in it), and then, I want to be a florist! (this last wish was soon forgotten as I have no talent with flowers whatsoever).</span></div>

That was a lot of reading (the blog starts in 2007!) but for me it was totally worth it as it is one of the most beautiful and inspirational blogs that I had ever read.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><i>Igual no os acordais de esto ya que hace mucho, mucho tiempo (nos tenemos que remontar a <a href="http://reyesrobledo.blogspot.com.es/2013_05_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Mayo</a>). Estábamos de mini reforma en el ático, que es dónde está mi estudio, y yo me dedicaba a mirar estudios de otros artistas para inspirarme y dejar el mío bonito. Aunque nuestra reforma consistía en pintar, muebles nuevos y poco más, por esas cosas en el mundo-reforma se hizo eterna, con lo cual tuve mucho tiempo para mirar (y babear) con los estudios de otros artistas.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><i>Un día me topé con el trabajo de una fotógrafa alucinante, <a href="http://www.themakersproject.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer Causey</a> y su proyecto <a href="http://www.themakersproject.com/" target="_blank">“The Makers”</a>, una serie de fotos increíbles de varios artistas trabajando en sus estudios. La mayor parte de los artistas trabajan desde Nueva York y merece la pena verlos todos, pero hay uno en especial que me dejó prendadita, y es el estudio de la Florista Amy Merrick. Wow. Nada más verlo pensé… quiero ese estudio! (todavía lo quiero, incluso me mudaría a vivir en el), y luego pensé ya no quiero hacer más pendientes, ahora quiero ser florista! Pero eso me duró poco porque las flores se me dan fatal.</i></span></div>

Mucha lectura ya que el blog empezó en el 2007, pero oh-tan-maravilloso! Creo que es de los blogs más bonitos e inspiradores que he leído jamás.

The weather there is perfect, not too hot which is something one really appreciates after the scorching heat of Madrid . Everything is lush and green, and the food is so good! Too good in fact, by the time we left my jeans were beginning to feel a bit too tight (sad but true). The children also love it there. They spend most of their days at the beach playing with their friends and cousins, swimming, building sand castles, pretty much the same stuff I did when I was a kid. I guess some things never change.</span></span></span><br />

We spent two weeks there in the tiny village where my family originally comes from (in Winter it roughly has 50 inhabitants, so yes, it is pretty tiny). We swapped the coast for the hills and we had so much fun! We climbed mountains, we swam in rivers (well actually, I just watched my kids doing it, the water was really way, way too cold!), we picked all sorts of berries, I discovered I do not really like blackberries which my children loved as they got to eat mine as well as theirs, I spent time with my wonderful family and missed my sister Araceli terribly, read books, fell in love once again with the local cuisine and put on even more weight (long live “aperitivos”!), I could really go on forever!</span></span><br />

El clima allí es perfecto, no excesivamente caluroso, lo cual se agradece después del calorazo asfixiante de Madrid. Todo está verde y jugoso, y la comida es tan buena! Demasiado buena, para cuando nos marchamos mis vaqueros ya me quedaban prietos, prietos (si, una injusticia, pero comer en exceso es lo que tiene). A los niños también les encanta. Se pasan la mayor parte del día jugando en la playa con sus amigos y sus primos, nadando, haciendo castillos de arena, realmente haciendo más o menos lo mismo que hacía yo de pequeña.</span><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
No se si es porque paso mucho tiempo en la Facultad de Bellas Artes pero ultimamente me entran unas ganas locas de pintar, dibujar y sacar los carboncillos.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
Yo no tengo un logo propiamente dicho, en las ferias y en este blog, lo que utilizo como logo es mi nombre escrito con la tipografía "Jane Austen", y es que Miss Austen, además de escribir unas novelas preciosas, también tenía una letra muy molona. Mi cartel en los puestos de las ferias normalmente lo imprimo directamente en el ordenador, pero esta vez, decidí hacerlo yo misma. Saqué la caja de de tintas y plumillas de mi padre y de mis hermanas que, graciosamente, me han cedido mientras me dure esta fase creativa y me puse manos a la obra. Qué os parece? Aunque es claramente mejorable, a mi me encanta- Además, he descubierto otro "vicio" más, la caligrafía! Es súper relajante.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<i>I am not sure if it is because lately I spend a lot of time at the Fine Arts Faculty, but at present all I can think of is of painting and drawing! So, for the latest art fair, instead of just printing my name with the Jane Austen font which is what I usually do (Jane Austen apart from writing beautiful novels also had an awesome handwriting which the Jane Austen font reproduces) I decided to write it myself using quills and ink. What do you think? Although there is obvious room for improvement, I rather like it! and I have also discovered yet another "obsession" to add to my current list of obsessions, calligraphy!</i></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
Una recomendación, si también os "enganchais" a este vicio, comprar tintas, pinceles y plumillas de calidad. No sólo quedan mejor si no que además duran eternamente. Las que yo utilicé eran de mi padre que siempre nos insistía en que el material de arte tenía que ser de primera calidad. Las tintas tienen más de 10 años y siguen perfectas y los pinceles... yo ahora con los niños que estropean todo los compro muy corrientitos y al utilizar los de mi padre me di cuenta otra vez de que realmente no hay color.<br />
<br />
<i>Just a little thing, if you too are thinking about developing a "calligraphy obsession", make sure you buy inks and quills of good quality. The ones I used belonged to my father who always insisted that art material had to be of the best quality, the inks are over 10 years old and they are still in perfect condition. </i> </div>

Aquí podéis ver como quedó mi puesto. Mi inspiración para este mercadillo tanto para los diseños como para el puesto en si, fueron los cuentos de hadas, los bosques encantados y los bailes en palacio, vamos, el mundo princesil, todo muy romántico y etéreo. La manzana roja es un guiño a las madrastras malvadas que no pueden faltar de los cuentos.... </div>

<i>This is how my stand looked. My inspiration for this art fair, both for the designs and for my booth, were fairy tales, enchanted forests and a palace ball, the stuff princesses are made of, very ethereal and romantic things. The red apple was kind of a tribute to the evil step-mothers that always appear on those tales.</i></div>

Como habréis detectado por el título del post, esta semana seguimos con temática Parisina.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
Courgette, que bonita palabra, verdad? Es calabacín en Francés, pero mientras courgette suena a "oh la là", calabacín suena a, bueno, a calabacín, y esto lo digo con todo mi cariño ya que adoro el calabacín.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
Bueno, durante el viaje a París comí este quiche de calabacín y queso de cabra dos veces, y no lo tomé en cada comida porque no me fue posible. Era como comer un trozo de cielo en cada bocado, que ríquísimo! Total, que a la vuelta fue mi aniversario de boda y decidí sorprender al esposo con una cena rica. Busqué en internet y encontré <a href="http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_quiche-aux-courgettes-et-au-chevre_22074.aspx" target="_blank">esta receta</a> que me pareció la más parecida al quiche</div>
que yo había comido. Sólo le he hecho dos modificaciones, en vez de 3 calabacines yo sólo le puse uno y luego le añadí un tomate natural a rodajas porque los quiches Parisinos lo llevaban y le daban un sabor muy rico. El resultado final? Èxito rotundo, al esposo también le encantó y lo mejor es que es facilísimo de hacer.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>As you have probably guessed from the post`s title, this week I am still in a Parisian state of mind.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Courgette, what a beautiful word, isn´t it? It's French for Zucchini, but whilst courgette sounds very "oh la là" zucchini sounds like, zucchini, and I say this with all my respects as I love zucchinis.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Well, during my Paris trip I had this zucchini and goat's cheese quiche twice, and I did not have it for each meal because it was not possible. It was delicious! like eating a piece of heaven in each bite. So, upon my return, it was my wedding anniversary and I decided to surprise my husband with a yummy dinner. I searched the internet and found </em><a href="http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_quiche-aux-courgettes-et-au-chevre_22074.aspx" target="_blank"><em>this recipe</em></a><em> which seemed the closest thing to the quiche I had eaten. I have only introduced a couple of changes, first I only used a zucchini instead of three, and second, I added a sliced natural tomato, the Parisian quiches had them and they added a lovely flavour. The end result? A huge success, my husband loved it too and the best part, it was so easy to make!!</em></div>

Se me acumula el trabajo. No me puedo creer que hace casi un mes que no escribo! Pero es que Junio se me ha pasado volando, han pasado tantas cosas! <a href="http://www.mollymarket.es/" target="_blank">El Molly Market</a>, las fiestas de fin de curso de mis hijos, visitas, y mi viaje a Paris. Hacía años y años que no iba y se me había olvidado lo precioso que es. He venido con mil ideas para mi casa, mi cocina y mi estudio. Ojalá pudiera hacer un viaje cada semana! Pero como no puedo, miraré estas fotos para recordarlo. Espero que os gusten.</div>

<em>I am so behind on my posts. I can not believe that I have not written any in nearly a month! The month of June has passed by so quickly, must be due to the amount of things I have done. <a href="http://www.mollymarket.es/" target="_blank">The Molly Market</a>, my kids end of school year performances, visitors and my trip to Paris. I had not been back in years and I had nearly forgotten just how absolutely gorgeous it is. I have returned with a thousand ideas for my home, the kitch and my studio.
