Here we are with another spring Zoo-bento box, this time is Asia’s turn.
My poor Asia tried any trick to eat the food around her, but at the end Vivace was the only lucky official taster.

Once again thanks Sweetbento for the amazing job you did with my characters ♥

Recently I am always late.
I don’t know which part of me is slower right now, mind or body…all I know is that I feel as I am entrapped in a slow-motion alternative life.
Maybe it’s just that I’ve just heaped-up so many things during these last weeks of study that although I am trying to catch up with, the pile of “undone things” is still very high. The good news is that I overcome the driving licence written tests (yeah!), soon I’ll start the driving lessons.

Anyway, here’s a new bento box inspired by the Nextlola’s Zoo, my friend Sweetbento made and awesome job once again!
Today is Pepe’s turn to show off all his energetic nature…and the lovely Vivace seems to appreciate it :)

P.S. short note for my Postcrossing friends: sorry for being late in reply, I’ll be back soon.

Zoo Invasion: Portugal

Finally yesterday weather turned to spring, people on TV say that it will last just for few days, so we all promptly moved outside the balcony to enjoy the sun and dreaming of a better view.

When I came back inside there were many surprises waiting for me in a box, my friend Renee from Pittsburg sent me many little scented soaps and moisturizing lotions and other cute stuff… luckily she sent anything short-dated as the postal trip took two months, TWO MONTHS!
My parcel was basically “ramsoned” by the Italian Custom duty.
I’m recently watching “Boardwalk Empire” and I’m pretty sure that if I could track a random parcel of  1920 it covered the distance between USA and Italy faster than my 2012 one.

And now, Mesdames et Messieurs, The Roaring 20′s…

P.S. thank you Paulo for sending me a picture from Portugal to make my “Invasion” collection grow…sometimes little things can make us very happy :)

What’s going on?

Something is not working here.
I spend so much time trying to realize some pretty gadgets for Christmas and printers are driving me crazy not answering to my emails, is that a professional?
- A blue flower misteriously appeared on my brand new Japanese notebook covers…can a cherry blossom be blue?? No reply.
- On October 13th I asked for a quotation to print: mugs, cotton shoppers, and mousepads. They keep saying “tomorrow”.
-The puncher I had to buy in Germany because I need pretty small holes on my Christmas tags arrived and surprise! Holes got not the right diameter (3,2 mm.), but they make 6 mm. holes.

WHAT’S GOING ON???

Marvin we’ve got to find a way To bring some lovin’ here today…definetely!

Four seasons’ set now on sell

Hi everybody!

In this hot almost-summer day it’s time to put the “Four seasons” postcards in my shops on DaWanda and Etsy.

If you’re thinking to buy them and you’re able to read Dutch language, please, consider to buy them on Dierenhulp Zonder Grenzen (Animalhelp without Borders), as all the money you will spend to buy my postcards on this website will be used to help an Italian animal shelter. Instead, if you’ll buy them in my shops your money will be used just to replace all the items that Pepe destroyed last night in the Zoo-house.

After the third crash in the same night we all agree that to let Pepe sleep all day long until midnight is a HUGE mistake. To let him move in the house uncontrolled and so full of energy could be very dangerous…especially if you, once you got up from your bed, discover him quietly laying down on the broken glass pieces as a faqir!

Animal shelter’s illustration #1

I finally found the time to start my collaboration with a Dutch animal shelter “Dierenhulp zonder Grenzen” (Animalhelp without Borders), that has a project with a shelter in L’Aquila, to help stray dogs and cats and also people who lost their home because of the earthquake in 2009. This is the first illustration I have made titled “Love is giving”…I’ve thought they should need: food, medicines, blankets and, why not, some toys.

It’s the first time that the Zoo hosts into its illustrations other animals, not already members of this little and messy club :)

Here the link of the shelter for Dutch speaking people:
