We ♥ you Japan!
I couldn´t have expressed it better than Natascha Rosenberg here.

（；_・）

Big in Japan!

2011-02-21T16:09:00.003+01:00

Well, i never thought this moment would come; and only I know how much i have been wishing for it to happen since i started chicadecanela almost 6 years ago. We are selling in Japan!!! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

Maybe you think it´s not such a big deal but, as my dear Pauline says: "Japanese people, they have the best taste!." And i couldn´t agree more. Just look at the cute pictures! The way they shoot the necklaces, makes me want to re-think all my photo sessions!

The company is called Eyeco -pronounced Aiko- and they also edit a beautiful zakka -yes!- magazine which you can browse here in pdf (link to chicadecanela´s page).

And links to chicadecanela product pages on the website: here and here.

We love Japan and i´m happy Japan is aware of chicadecanela, after trying so hard. I hope we are in for a long term relationship! ( ^ . ^ )

Yours truly,

{chicadecanela}

Finally, i´ve got the first copy of El Costurero, a new spanish craft magazine, from the same mastermind that gave us on-line mag We Love Crafts: Anabel de Fieltromanía :)

" El Costurero (The sewing box) is a small box packed tight with surprises, a common aim of all the designers we feature."

As much as I enjoy on-line mags, it´s a plesure to have a copy of a beutifully edited magazine in your hands, like a small box full of little treasures indeed!

Painting clowns faces for an order.

I have in front of me at least two months of non stop workshop work.
I leave the leather bag sewing to the experts (never been good at the sewing machine)
but i still have to do this kind of artisanal job myself.
(Not that i don´t like it though, because i do!).

With all the orders we have to deliver (we are already a little bit behind)
i don´t think there will be time to update the shop at all until June
and then it will only be a few key pieces.
But i will let you know of stockists where chicadecanela can be found.

Patricia Conde

2009-07-30T21:34:00.009+02:00

*Update: for those of you interested in purchasing Patricia´s leather belt,
there´s a little survey posted in my spanish blog, if you wish to take part.

Patricia Conde, or, maybe, her fashion stylist, is one of my fashion icons.

Patricia is the pretty hostess of SLQH, a succesful spanish tv show.
I love each and every outfit she wears on stage, and i think her dumb blonde but witty, cute character matches chicadecanela´s aesthetics perfectly.
( ^ . ^ )

So... imagine how delighted i felt to see her last Wednesday July, 15th wearing one of chicadecanela´s pieces,
the Acrobat leather belt from Circus collection!

Here are some pics of her wearing Acrobat belt in pink:

Doesn´t she look pretty?

It makes me want to wear my own pink -i have one in each color,
they´re so perfect to me- Acrobat belt over and over again!

Such a shame they didn´t have a proper chicadecanela logo for the end credits (－－）

If you´d like to see the whole video, click here for SLQH You Tube channel.

Blog El armario de Patricia is where you can see all of Patricia´s outfits.

2009-07-05T18:07:00.005+02:00

For those of you that don´t already know: sales are here! And for those of you who knew and already made a purchase: thanks so much! There´s very little left, just one or two of each item, i hope to have the "sold out" sign hanged up soon enough and close the shop for the holidays!
☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉｲｯﾃｷﾏ-ｽ!!

Therefore, i´m giving you, my faithful blog readers an extra 10%off !!!!

Please visit my spanish blog here to learn more about it

First things first: a big thank you to everyone who left comments on my last post.
You may not believe it, but it means the world to me to know that you like what i do and can spare a few seconds to let me know, ¡THANK YOU!

............

After much thought and consideration, i present to you:

The new blog todo en español by chicadecanela! I expect to see you over there, chicas ! And for those of you who´d rather read me in english, of course this little blog will still be here, i started it almost FOUR! years ago to be in touch with people around the world and because i love to write in english, even if it´s badly. So you are all wellcome here, as well as there, no matter which language you speak. There will always be plenty of pictures, and we will understand each other in the universal language of cute! ^-^

............

More news: since last Sunday, November 2, the on-line shop is open!

The complete Circus collection is available for purchase, as well as a fun selection of specially selected vintage items that i hope you´ll enjoy. I personally love vintage so i though you would to!

There´s even a special surprise gift for customers who purchase more than 30€ from the shop. Well, as a special treat for you, my faithful blog readers, i will send one of this with any purchase, big or small. Just mention the classic BLOGLOVE in the comments section at checkout. See how much i love you? (hearts, hearts)

For people outside Spain email me first to inquiry about shipping and availability, we are as willing as always to accept international orders (while i decide what to do with my Etsy shop, which isn´t looking too good lately).

............

And that´s about everything, thanks again for your support and for being there,
you´re awesome!

`Twas about time!

2008-10-06T21:44:00.004+02:00

I know i should have posted this a looooooong time ago... but, honestly, i´m so far behind with everything, my dear patient readers.
You see, so many things have happened this past few months that you will excuse me if i´m feeling a bit overwhelmed: in April Perlita´s puppies were born, and now we are one more in the family, with the lovely adition of Juno girl!
In may i flew to NYC, in june to Thailand and in september to Tokio!
This season we are having (thankfully, of course!) more sales than ever, thanks to our lovely new sales showroom.
All august we have been working like crazy to get these orders ready and we are working on that still, being only two of us most of the time.
And if this was not enough, we have been building (well, not literally!) our new workshop cum showroom. In fact, i´ve just moved into the new space, and there are still SO MANY things to take care of here. I sincerily don´t know where to start.

Well, i don´t really want to complain too much: i´ve had the chance to travel around the world, i have a new little dog to cherish, a beautiful new atelier, and a thriving new collection... i do consider myself a lucky girl, albeit a (very) tired one!

I own emails to so many people; i promise i´m going to start answering everyone this week. But don´t hesitate to drop me a line if you feel neglected: i will very much like to hear from you (^-´)

On-line shoppe has to wait a little still, but i don´t think there´s any reason why you can´t have a look at the new collection, if you wish.

See that small cupcake below?

Could you please click it?

Go ahead... Don´t forget to come back to let me know what you think!!!!!

*The shoppe:

Thanks so much for your orders and love this week! I´m almost sold out of everything (but we´re working hard to refill the shop as soon as possible). Cécile brooches have proven to be the most popular items, as well as monkey necklaces (only a couple left of this).

*News! I´m going to NY! When? Now! I´ll be away until Friday next week. It is a bussiness trip, but there should be time for fun as well!
Would you like to recommend a place in NY? Would you like to meet me in NY, if you live there? Just leave a comment or email me. I will have access to the internet all the time.

We´re going with a tight schedule but i want to make time for everything. However, i´m going to miss this...

Cécile at Matilda Matilda

2008-04-11T20:07:00.004+02:00

Probably most of you know already but,
now you can find the new Cécile Caribbean Beauty
at Matilda Matilda!!
This version in dark blue and red will be available
exclusively on-line at matildamatilda.com.
And don´t forget to check this and this.
And all the other pretty things available!

Tropical fruit, sunny caribbean!

2008-03-22T20:44:00.009+01:00

Yay! Wellcome to chicadecanela´s 7th collection: Tropical fruit, sunny caribbean!
What is this collection all about?
Well, its title says it all: warm and dreamy summers in the Caribbean,
yummy fruits, happy colors and natural materials:
vintage rope and yute, leather, bone and wood beads, aged metals, linen, lots of crochet pieces...
It has been so fun working on this collection, now i hope that you enjoy it!

{click on the images to see them bigger}

This is the pineapple pouch. It is hand crocheted in-house using egyptian cotton
and vintage rope. It features a clever adjustable leather handle so the bag can be carried over the shoulder,
across the chest or like a mini-backpack, with the 2 big bright yellow wooden beads dangling playfully.
It is lined in bright orange natural linen.
This pattern is not original, but adapted from a vintage 70´s book, i hope we have given it a more sophisticated twist!

Really, can you believe it? This handbag is made out of real south american sack cloth!
We can not guarantee if it comes from Colombia or Costa Rica but that it once held coffee beans, that´s for sure! Plus, it features vintage purse frame clasp, metallic chain long enough to wear across the chest and bright cotton lining; AND, the cherry charm comes with it, for free! Sure!

Who is this? Whoa, it´s Cécile, of course!
This is the new Cécile "Cherry Momma" or Cécile "Caribbean Beauty" as you like it.
This time Cécile has gone south and she is dark and lovely, with heavy eyelids and pouty lips!
So charming! I must confess this is one of my favorite "ceciles" so far.
Oh! And this one comes not only as a necklace but as a brooch and hangbag charm also :)

The new character from the chicadecanela menagerie is this cute monkey girl.
She is hand crocheted and comes in the company of a veritable jungle of findings, beads and bric-a-brac, including cherries and crochet pineapples! There´s the necklace and there´s the handbag charm. And we have some pineapple earrings too...

... and cherry earrings! And hair accessories! And a cherry charm!
And this is all that i can show you,
i hope that you like it!

***

Please, as usual, i would apreciate so much your input, thoughts and comments about the collection.
Do you think it is any good? Do you like the color scheme? Do you miss something?
How do you find the new black Cécile? Would you buy any of it? Why not? (or why yes!).

Hello there! It´s been a long time indeed! :)

So the new collection is just starting to pop in stores here and there. Cheers to that! And... it will be available at www.chicadecanela.com in a couple of weeks! Yes!

But i would like to show you everything here first to you, my most patient ladies, so this weekend i´m going to upload the whole catalog for you to see it. Here is a little teaser:

Image by La Casita de Wendy www.lacasitadewendy.com

Today i want to talk about Ines&Ivan a.k.a. La Casita de Wendy. Ines and Ivan were my teachers at IED in Madrid when i was studying fashion design and with them i made one of my most fun projects, it was about Hello Kitty, so you can imagine it was one of my favorite projects ever!

I imagine La Casita de Wendy doesn´t need any introduction: they have been designing funny clothes and patterns for some years now, they have dressed Björk, done stationary, accessories... they sell in some of the coolests shops in the world. And everything they do is colourful, fun, original and with a sense of humour!

I lost sight of them for some time, but now they´ve just started a new blog! So if you want to have a look at their original prints, learn about their new collections and projects and get to know this cute couple better, this is the place!

Yes! This is the first time ever that Decole is sold in Spain! I have been a compulsive buyer of Decole stuff since i first heard about this japanese company, almost two years ago. So it was a question of time that i had Decole in my little shoppe. It was difficult to track down, it took a journey of many weeks all the way from Japan, but it arrived here safe and sound and looking looooovely! This is Decole official website, in case you want to have a look: http://decole.co.jp/

Some of my faves:

*Kinoko Bucket. Oh my!

*Egg container set. The cutest guys!
House Bank. I love designs with houses!

And there are many more cute things. And this:

2008 chicadecanela calendar!
A small lovely calendar to keep in your purse, pocket...
free with any purchase!
So many lovely things! Don´t you think? ^.^

2007-12-14T17:19:00.001+01:00

Today is the last day of the "Le Chat, la Clef et les Petits Secrets" story in the shoppe. It has been a wonderful month! I have gotten a great response to the "notitas" small note set that was given free with every order. But it was not just that: every parcel went out carefully packaged with details in the b/w le chat theme: small paper bags, stamps, little stickers, mailing labels... everything matched! It was a joy to see all the parcels looking so good together!

Stay tuned this weekend for new stuff and new freebies!

Flashbags

2007-12-04T15:38:00.000+01:00

I´m glad to present to you yet another on-line shop which stocks chicadecanela. Flasbags.es is a new webstore in Spain, which mainly stocks handbags to let, but also has a small "boutique" section to showcase pieces from contemporary designers. Have you been inquiring about the crochet bag from the School of Zakka collection which was completely sold out? You can find it here in brand new lovely moss-green color, with matching i-Pod case!

And also adorable Cécile Cappuccino in a new color combination with green and orange details:

USA

theshinysquirrel.com is the new on-line shop by stylish Jessica. It features a tasteful array of designers and artists from very different backgrounds. chicadecanela is very proud to have been selected to participate and thus rub shoulders with outstanding creative people like Sugarloop, My Paper Crane, Lisa Congdon, Caroline Hwang, Jezebel...
Jessica asked for an exclusive design and i came up with a revamped image for the Sweet Party collection: there´s the little she-bear, Cécile and Sweet Heart all in beige silk and tea-stained lace, which gives them an extra vintage feel. Have a look at them all here.
And don´t forget to have a look around the shop, there´s so many cool stuff!

UK

whippetgrey.co.uk is this beautiful on-line shop which unfolds like one of those moving pictures books for children. They search the world far and wide for awesome treasures and they also have a mail-order catalog that you can order at their site. The new catalog is ready and they have some chicadecanela in it!

What they say about us: "In a tiny ‘taller’ in the north of Spain, a small team of seamstresses toil away in a make-believe world of miniature rabbits, cats and bears. Spilling from boxes, baskets and trays are samples of the finest fabrics, beads and charms that have been collected from around the world. Each jewelled hanging pendant is like a little piece of couture." Mini Couture, they call it. Charming!
But, really, take your time to browse through everything, because they have soooo many beautiful things.

2007-08-26T20:43:00.000+02:00

I did it! I´ve just opened an Etsy shop! I had the space booked since ages but could never find the right moment nor the time to do it. Well, it´s done!. Not that it was that difficult after all :9
I´m happy to be a part of Etsy at last and i´m still thinking what i´ll do with the shop. For the moment, i´ve listed a few of my favorite items from chicadecanela.
chicadecanela.etsy is thought specially for ladies out of Spain: prices are in the official etsy currency $US, measures are in inches as well as in centimeters and the shipping rate is quite reasonable for international shipping. But, of course, everybody´s wellcome!

I thought that, since tomorrow is my birthday and we are just opened i could give you a special offer to start things off. So...

When you buy one item from chicadecanela.etsy.com YOU GET 1 FREE "PETIT OISEAU"

Or, if you happen to actually purchase one "petit oiseau" you get another different one: 2x1, how that sounds?

Ideally, i would pick the right birdie for you, but if you like one in particular just tell me and i´d do my best to get it for you!

Only this week or until supplies last!

But, regardless of whether you would like to make a purchase or not, come have a look! And while you are there don´t forget to check out chicadecanela´s Favorites or add chicadecanela as a Favorite Seller. That´ll be awesome!

No, i haven´t been working as some thought! I´m just back from spending some relaxing days with a view to this:

And this:

:)
* * * * * * * *

I went well provided with novels and new craft books:

From left to right: Bend-the-Rules Sewing by Amy Carol, The Crafter´s Companion, Craft magazine Vol.03 and Built by Wendy´s Sew U. Just seen: Sukie sticky notes.

I have added this books together with others i own or wish i owned from Amazon.co.uk to my new Amazon list:

{chicadecanela} lovely books

I hope to keep adding books as i buy them or wish for them! At the moment there are just 3 categories: CRAFT BOOKS, INSPIRATION BOOKS and STATIONARY.

I have added this widget to the side bar for easy access to the library. Enjoy browsing!

And if you know of a book that should be there but is not, let me know!

2007-07-22T17:41:00.000+02:00

Lately some really pleasant things have been arriving in the mail. And i LOVE to get snail mail. It´s one of my favorite things!

1. Some time ago i received this from Natacha Matic:

A porcelain brooch with my name on it! Merci beaucoup, Natacha! I love this so much. It´s one of my little treasures!

2. Recently, this cute pair of earrings arrived from Jugando con Hilos:

I have been wearing them all the time! Unfortunately, they are sold out at JCH, although this cute broch is still available. They are the original creation of Lorena from La Primera Hoja, a small but perfectly lovely collection of delicate silver and porcelain pieces. You can learn more about La Primera Hoja at Lorena´s blog.

3. And a recent purchase all the way from Brooklyn, NYC!

This super cute American Retro top, which i purchased from Noisette on-line store. You can see it here. Noisette´s owner, Stephanie, is so helpful that the whole process was as easy as buying from the local shop. Sweet!

2007-07-15T22:11:00.000+02:00

Hola, hola! It´s been ages since i don´t publish in this blog, shame on me!
