Saturday we had a photo shoot with my model Katya and after it I made few shots with the sunset. Be sure I will show you photos when they will be edited, but now I show you The Sunset I like this moment when the water die away with the sky in this unique color:
In early June, on Saturday we went to a small town 60 km from Brindisi to see the airshow. Of course so strong word is too much to call this event, but it was something interesting to see.
This is a team of four aircraft perfomed stunts and drew figures in the sky with smoke:
Then came flights of single aircrafts, they done terrible things in the air! Spinning in all directions, perform loop the loop, maked tailspin...
Then, along of the field flew paragliders appeared (maybe they call different) with the motor and against sunset they looked very nice.
They liked me so much that I asked to be photographed with them when they landed. By the way, I'm the only one asked this))
Then there were the simple paratroopers, but they just have landed and did not make anything in air. I expected more... Well, at least to see stay one over another in flight ... At the end of the evening the balloon was inflated and showed it in front of the audience. So, in the program was not promised that it will fly.
This stand of local producers: statoline bread baked in wooden oven, buns and all sorts of other goodies. By the way, we bought some and I can tell you it was yummy!
All pastel colors are on the wave for 2012 spring/summer. I created this wonderful pair of light blue fabric earrings and necklace from fabric and crochet beads for my spring collection. When I saw the color of this fabric I bought it immediately) It's a fresh pastel color that livens up any outfit and especially will be great for jeans.
Summer is here and with summertime came a season of sagras which I love.
Sagra is an artisian food themed festival in a small towns which usually is taking place on the central square. It can be dedicated to a watermelon or eggplant or even pizza! The full list of sagras you can find in a local newspaper so you can always find the one which will suit your taste.
During the festival you can sample 2 or 3 dishes of the local cuisine and sip some wine. The food and wine comes from the town’s butchers, bakers, farmers and vintners. All the cooking is done by volunteers and the wait staffs are the enthusiastic local people. Signs announcing the dates and featured foods of the sagras dot roadways and are posted on stone walls in and around towns.
We have already visited some sagras this summer:
No sagra is possible without the traditional music and dance of Salento. Everyone here knows how to dance pizzika, from toddler to the elderly people. People are learning to dance from the very young age.
This little girl simply charmed me, she is probably just learned how to walk and she is already trying to dance!
This is me during one of the festivals, wearing a traditional pizzika costume. The girl's costume for pizzika always includes a long wide skirt and scarf or shawl. While dancing the girl is flirting with a young man, using her scarf.
Here are two my costumes for pizzika:
This wonderful skirt I bought in vacance in Greece and I very like it for bright color:
After I learned to make crochet balls I created these two pairs of crochet earrings to add to my costumes. One pair is white as I have white skirt and the second pair is turquoise for my turquoise skirt.
So when you drive through the Italian country side and see the signs along the road inviting you to visit sagra, turn, go in and enjoy!
