Of white cotton and lace
I grew up watching my mother cutting and sewing little dresses in white embroidered cotton for my two sisters and I. On my first trip to Madagascar, when I was a child, I met my aunts and a myriad of cousins who sewed beautifully and patiently embroidered cotton napkins, tablecloths and sheets. Certainly, I inherited the sewing gene. Sewing calms me down and brings me peace. I started a small series of white and cream indoors clothes for my own pleasure, with the intention to hopefully market it some day, but in the meantime, they quietly rest in my bedroom, waiting to be worn on a lazy summer day.
ps : I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Karina of colorful design and fashion blog El Beso, for featuring one of my bags....

how fortunate you are

maybe you SHOULD market them, missy.
¡Ah!, yo soy de Almeria, pero vivo en La Zubia ( Granada), y estoy de acuerdo contigo, I love Granada.

I took some photos in a shop of a white dress you would admire, that same feminine theme. But yours is much prettier.
I would love to own one of your designs someday.

This is Sloane from Books I Love In A Cozy Spot. Thank you for commenting on my blog. I love your pretty pictures of the clothes and all the pretty cloth. My Momma said you sewed it. I think it would be really great to be able to sew like that. I like the name of your blog a lot. I'm wondering what your name means? I hope you have a great week and that you visit me soon. ~ Sloane
