Uncommon Goods

Have you ever heard of Uncommon Goods Jewelry? If not, let me tell you a little bit about it. A site based in USA that offers hand made jewelry made by various artisans and designers each with a unique style that you really can't find elsewhere.

They don't only sell jewelry, but all sorts of decorative products, like personalized gifts, and we all know, we love to have stuff that are in accord with our personality and lifestyle.

So, if you are one looking for awesome products to offer as gifts to your close ones, this is the place to search: wedding gifts, presents for moms or kids, you can find jewelry, cups, robes, books or toys, you name it!

My choice was this gorgeous hand made necklace made by Emilie Shapiro who loves to create bold and beautiful jewelry by placing gems in wax castings, then melding brass around it for a uniquely organic design.

Also, these gorgeous golden bracelets made by  Tulianna and Alejandra Garces. Beautifully crafted by Colombian artisans, these bracelets are made from antique lace dipped in lustrous 24k gold. The process is entirely done by hand: pieces of lace are cut and sewn, dipped in wax to seal and reinforce them, then in a layer of copper, and finally in 24k gold. 

How amazing is that? To take a delicate textile fabric and dip it into gold to create jewelry. I never heard of something as creative as this before, I loved the idea!

I really hope you liked this post and these gorgeous designs. Go check out their website for more products and more info, i am sure you'll love it!

Back in the old city

 

 Yup, I'm back in Cluj until Christmas most likely, and it does feel good to be back!

 It's still hot, so it it's still great to wear cropped tops and Summer skirts; in this case, I twisted my very long blouse and fold it underneath just enough to look nice and cute, don't you think? I somewhat felt like a country girl in the big city - all I needed was a straw basket filled with fruits and flowers. Now I crave a bit for the countryside and nature, just great..

Have a great week everyone!

One step outside the city

 I am tired of the city. I really need an escapade somewhere in the middle of nature, to see the woods, smell fresh air, feel the cool breeze of the mountain, gather flowers and berries to my own heart's content. I have to make this possible soon or I will go nuts, I am sure most of you felt this at a certain point in your life. As much as I am a city girl, I just need to disconnect from time to time.
Finding this little abandoned corner of nature about three minutes from where I live in Cluj, near the edge of the city, made me think more about the idea of an escapade; this idea was strongly endorsed by the beautiful landscapes I saw when I travelled back in my hometown and smelled the green air of nature while the wind was strongly blowing through my hair.

   

I will end this article in a peaceful manner, just as I so much desire, with a song that is obsessing my mind right now:

Pastoral

 

 There are those days when you need an escape from the city, noise, people and even from the music you usually listen to. Days like that when I feel a bit anxious - maybe I am not ready for my last year at University? - or when all my wishes pile up and can't figure out which one to make it come true first, I try to leave them behind in my special place, quiet, open, a place that gives me peace. Do you have such a special place? 

Well, I also love taking photos there and this time, since chilly days are getting popular, I put on a simple shawl, but one that gives such a nice touch to any outfit. And somehow..I felt in a pastoral landscape, all that was needed where a couple of sheep.
