Hello! This week starts sooo hot here in south Brazil (Blumenau) and I thought about the Orange color- matches with heat, remembers joy, encouragement, eating more…and talking about décor – I love the possibility to use it in details (cushions, printings, objects, chairs….and in an unique wall).

I used to love orange with chocolate color (now I remember – my brothers’ room, when they were kids – my mom used beige, orange and brown – I loved it…), but I was surprised when I saw orange with pink – it looks great and so sophisticated…but remember: use orange only in details!

I love to create new colors, combinations…to create a new way to look and make a composition – it leaves everything with our personality. But take care! Make some tests; make a brief research about the color meanings…

Well, other pics to inspire us…

Kisses and have a great week!

Chris

I’m opening a new category in this blog: Chris Speaks…

I just made it up…you know, sometimes I feel like I need to tell you something more – also tell you the boring parts of my life. I look like a fairy, most of the time, but I’m not! LOL…I make mistakes, I get upset, irritated, I’m not cute…things like that.

I also want to share things I believe are wrong, outside my house, at the streets…

So, let’s go! You know those days we just don’t know what to do? This is my day today…I couldn’t start what I wanted, I was irritated with things I shouldn’t be, I ate too much, my desk is such a mess, a thousand things to do, embroidery to finish, a client I forgot to call, the mirror that came wrong…wow!

I stopped it all for a second and tried to think about Katy (my shrink) – like if I were in a therapy session…of course it didn’t work. Then o started the pranayamas (yoga breathing exercises) – it’s good, but it doesn’t last…then I remembered my friend Cris Fernandes – she told me once: “Cris, when you can’t stand it anymore…there’s a gorgeous bakery / confectionery close to your office…go there!” Well, I didn’t go there, but I left office – it was great!!!

I was trying to harp on this, but I figured out I can’t! Sometimes we must change…so I picked my stuff and left. I know, it’s not that easy, just leave the office (sometimes it’s impossible)…but to start something new, a new work, have a change of heart, whatever! In this case, I could run away…there was plenty of work, but my anxiety was too strong, I just left.

Well, I went to the petshop (my mood was sooo good to pick my little dog up – Juju, a Shitzu) – it was so hot…and I found Fayga…LOL…it just changed my mood, I laugh a lot – to laugh is the best therapy!!!

I feel better, but better than that is my idea off writing this all here!

Sweet kisses and tks for listening!

Chris

Hello friends!

The first notebooks are incredible memories from childhood, school…A piece of our life we love to remember and tell stories! But not only the childish notebooks – I’ve made gorgeous binders, college notebooks, some adults also want them…Each handmade is personal!!

To decorate notebooks is to rescue the care, love…besides they make us want to study! Taking these enchanted notebooks must be exciting! And after school, they become memory albums.

Believing in all this, we have news: we now have notebooks at the atelier (exclusive and unique) – small, large….all types, gorgeous and magical!

We love making them….If you want to order: contato@chria.com.br

Have a great week!!!

Chris

Hello friends!

I’m always very happy when Chria is mentioned in other blogs – people acceptance is so grateful for us, and makes our work better and better…

This time it was in Nonpareil :: sprinkles of indie style (California): http://nonpareilblog.com/2010/01/handmade-brazilian-sweetness/

I was so surprised when I saw the gorgeous post Stacy wrote about Chria – it’s so nice to know Chria is also being valorized in other countries…different people knowing and buying our products – from Chria’s English online store. Oh, the English store has different products from the Brazilian store…take a look at www.chria.com (to buy products from the Portuguese store, just send an e-mail to puppy(at)chria(dot)com(dot)br and admin(at)chria(dot)com(dot)br).

Well, I wanted to share this happiness with you and also thank Stacy for this gorgeous post! Besides being a lovely person, her blog has great findings, take a look…I’m sure you’ll love it!! Nonpareil :: sprinkles of indie style – http://nonpareilblog.com.

Hello friends!

In this post, I wanted to express all love we have for Lucia – our client, friend and charming person.

Before that I’d like to explain a little thing: we always let our clients decide if they want to send us photos with their (our) products…and it’s so great when we receive these photos, and we see the products we made with so much love with such special people – it’s so fulfilling!!! So girls, send us your photos wearing/using Chria products and we’ll post them here in the category “I wear/use Chria”.

In these pics, Lucia shares her admiration for Chria…she uses our products to decorate, valorize her house…everything gorgeous! By the way, she also uses the sweeties we send with her purchases in such a creative way! She is so creative and original that she’ll get a special post, just for her (I’ll show it later)…

Thanks dear, for sharing these moments with us! We love it!!!!!

Love,

Chris and all Chria’s team

Hello friends!

Yesterday I got a present from a blogger friend – a very talented artist – Bia Micele http://www.salvesimpatia.com.br/blog, and it made me (not just me, everybody at Chria) very happy: we found inside a mail box the Dudu from Chria as a delicate junk jewelry…I think I won’t use it …LOL – Love it Bia! You are so special – and thanks for your special surprise!

Let me explain: Dudu from Chria was a contest we had last year. The most beautiful cupcake would get cute products from Chria – and Bia was the winner, she created her cupcake with a character that turned to be Dudu from Chria. We loved the virtual Dudu, and now he’s here with us, in this gorgeous present…
