Poupée Girl

2011-11-28T17:22:00.001Z

Do you know about Poupée Girl?
It's a japanese website where you can play dress up with a cute doll. You can customize her and give her a name and dress her up everyday. There's a "currency" called ribbons that you can use to buy clothes. You earn ribbons when you log in and dress up, when you comment other users pages, when you post images of your own real cute clothes and other items or when you sell your poupée clothes. They come up with the cutest designs but some are actually paid (you pay to buy ribbons and jewels, being jewels a more exclusive type of currency to be used in certain items). It's really fun to create different looks and get the latest "collectors" item ^_^ I have one here! If you have a poupée feel free to add me as a friend there!

An Autumn Walk

2011-11-26T17:34:00.001Z

Hi everyone!
I hope you're having a nice weekend so far! Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway so far! ^_^

I thought about adding more personal posts to my blog along with the shop related and cute finds!

So, the other day I spent some days on a little village Sintra, in my country (Portugal).
I have some photos of this magical place that I always enjoy visiting! The village is nested on a beautiful forest, that now starts to get the fall colors - so pretty! I even took some picture of jewelry I create with my mother (I don't know if you knew that! we have a small shop at etsy too).
I hope you like the pictures :) Happy weekend!

The village palace

The village on a rainny day.

Beautiful woods surrounding the village, they're so pretty!

Click below to see more photos...

The pic above is from the main palace, on top of a hill. This view is from it's huge gardens!

Another view from the village palace, the two towers are giant chimneys!

Beautiful fountains and water falls all over the woods and gardens, so relaxing to take a walk and hear the sound of water running among the trees...

These are beautiful lakes inside the main palace's huge gardens

The building above is the palace of a countess, inside the bigger palace's gardens.

I found the perfect set to take some jewelry photos for Les Petites Choses

Another view from the biggest palace in Sintra, on top of a hill. It was used by Portuguese royalty as a summer house. It's a mix of different architectural styles. I've been there before but not this time..

More images of the Countess' house!

I loved this window, so romantic and dreamy...

Hope you like the images

2011-11-19T17:50:00.001Z

Hello ^_^ hope you're having a great weekend so far!

2 new necklaces were added to day to the shop: a macaron and a big ice-cream!
The macaron is my favorite, it took quite a while to create exactly as I imagined - a super yummy pink macaron with loads of whipped cream on top, chocolate "sauce" and strawberries...YUM! (I want one now!) Even the little pink bow is how I wanted ^_^ I hope you like it as well - for now there's only a few available but i'll work on more ( i have even more goodies to add to the shop soon - let me give you a hint: it's something "furry" haha)

Thanks for reading!
