I'm back from my trip and let's say I was running after the TGV to x-mas since then... I'll be hard to keep constant with my posts here with all the work I have to accomplish now but I'll do my best to make at least a few before x-mas.
I'm leaving Tuesday for a 2 months trip in India and Nepal so all my shops are on Sales until Monday.

"A group of paraplegic street musicians who live around the grounds of the zoo in Kinshasa, Congo, they make music of astonishing power and beauty. Four senior singers / guitarists on makeshift wheelchairs are supported by a young, all-acoustic rhythm section, plus a 17 year-old prodigy performing infectious guitar-like solos on a one-string electric lute he designed and built himself out of a tin can."
Check it out is so funky and I felt like a breeze of fresh air filled with hope...
Traveling from the Caribbeans to Goa in India, always from one beach to another that Francesca had the idea to create sandals with a piece of tissue to don't burn the feet and Paka shoes were born.
The concept was then finished with the buttons that allow tissue to be changed so that you have many different patterns and colors in only one pair of shoes and you can always have one to match your outfit.
The concept and the brand are registered for the USA and Europe.
Check out these extremely cool bangles made wit telephone and data recycled wire by Twisted!!
I love the mixed colors ones but also the plain colors that you can mix and match and of course in that case much is never enough, arm filled up with bangles is definitely my favorite look!!

I love leather and that's not new but Colin Francis Designs are new to me, new shop on Etsy and is a new concept for leather jewelry.
Cuffs and chokers are laser cut, hand finished and patina can be applied to leather.
Result is modern and stylish adorn pieces... my favorites are the tribal lace designs off the scrolldown cuffs, the bee house of Hexed Again cuff, The geometry of Panes cuff and the stunning extra long Scaled Up cuff.
Ok, I'm not a big fan of steampunk but Catherinette Designs are incredible and results in exotic and exquisite jewelry.
I love the organic shapes and the mix with stones in a crazy Doc lab look!! I'll definitely grab one of these lil' punk beauties for my personal collection one day.
Brincadeira de Metal = Playing with Metal, was the frist words that came to my mind when I started to search a title to describe Esmeralda Designs.
Christina Bjenning designs are exquisite to my eyes ... I think she is doing alchemy with the metals like a druid making magic potions... recycling metals, fair trade gemstones and rough conflict free diamonds makes Esmeralda Designs even more special!!
My favorites are the Material Girl Ring, The Incredible Journey Ring and the Serenity Necklace.
