My Advent Calendar? Here it is! I did it some days ago and I couldn’t wait to show it to you. It’s spontaneous, I enriched it day by day: for example, I was making tags for my e-shop and so I tried to hang them to the calendar with some two-tone twine.

It all started when, in a paint shop, I found some stars made of wood decorated with the numbers of the calendar… looking through my materials I started to imagine my Advent Calendar, and that’s how, with a stick of balsa wood, I started my composition.

The first number? A butterfly origami… this is the atmosphere that I have in my house!

In the calendar there’s a place for snowflakes, for a pine cone and twigs of wood, for an origami cottage and for the red baubles that you can find here.

It ‘s all made by hand… I like it, and what do you think about it? Have you built your own Advent Calendar?

You can find more hints and ideas here… and good preparation for your Christmas!

I’m delighted to announce that my e-shop is officially open! I’ve thought about it for a while, or maybe for a lot, actually I don’t remember when I had this idea, maybe when someone told me “Why do not you sell your drawings?” But then in time my tastes changed and my passions have taken other directions, for example  making decorations for the holidays, realize and take pictures of small sets, enriching them with details. Do you remember the previous posts, for example the Autumn Set ? Well now you can have it, from my online shop! You can buy individual parts like garlands, tags or confetti, or decide to replicate the entire set! Some Christmas products will be available soon, but for now you can have a preview. I’m waiting for you and if you have any question please feel free to email me.

Some time ago on my first blog nelmioangolino  I posted a small collection of images of cute and funny “friends”: warm and cuddly pillows in the shape of cats, owls … Well I picked up other photos on Pinterest following this same theme, but in particular digging pictures that have the same “taste” of the previous ones, that kind of illustration-like vibe and daydream…

Here are the pictures with their respective links. I would say that they are not just for kids, oh no! (sounds like I’m trying to justify a possible interest in one of these wonderful “friends”?) Aren’t they beautiful? What are your favorites?

Thank you for your visit… xxx
