New luggage tags

These new luggage tags I made in different shapes: car for who should change car to air for travelling, rugby ball for lover of football, moustache and lips. 

When I made first time moustache luggage tag one client bought it and said that it's for her son. Then she asked if I can make luggage tag in a shape of lips for her daughter. I answered "Yes, of cource! I have wonderful bright red leather to make it". In such manner was born also lips shaped luggage tag.

Car and rugby ball luggage tags have a window containing information card for your name, address. Privacy flap keeps prying eyes off your information. 
Leather luggage tag are very time resistant so you can use it for many trips during many years. 

Personalized luggage tags

How frequently do you still loos a time to find your luggage on the a huge selection of similar ones on the carousel at the airport, train station or bus?


I created these personalized leather  luggage tags to help you spot your bag on the carousel more easily. It can be initial  letter of your name or surname. I made it in two colors because I think dark blue luggage tag is better for men and bright red luggage tag – for women. Personalized luggage tags could make your bags sparkle and also leather personalized luggage tags are look elegant!

I made this luggage tag from two pieces of high quality italian natural leather, which are sewn together by machine. You can easily attach this tag to practically any bag or purse using strong ribbon. 
You can create this personalized luggage tag easily at home, just print pattern of a letter from computer, cut two pieces and sew them together.  Then take about 30 cm of ribbon, cut small line on the letter and pass the ribbon  through it. After that sew together the ends of the ribbon. Your personalized luggage tag is ready! You can make it for every member of your family! 


The next time you are scanning the spinning luggage till you spotting your tags easily is likely to make your travel much shorter plus your trip more stress free.

Solden

Today I share with you last photos from my vacance in Alpes. This is Solden - small town in Austria near Rombo pass, but big ski center in winter. I saw also many ropeways working and we decided to lift to 3000 m. 

There was a little cold but the panorama was so beautiful you stop to breath!!!

 This is the first stage of descent, but we wasn't equiped for this... You can feed giddy...

We descent to next stop of ropeway at 2500m and here began our trip down in Solden.
Cows was everywere)

Some beautiful photos of nature

 There was so many wild raspberries that I never seen! I ate a lot)

The second trip in Solden was by car. It's famous Ötztaler Gletscherstraße - Ice road that raise on 2800m and lead to the gletchers.

You can also touch it!!! It's amazing feeling when you touch the gletcher that has thousands of years!

Krimml waterfall

One of the places we visited was famous waterfall near Krimml in Austrtia. It's the higher waterfall in Europe - 380 meters ans consist of three stages. You can ascend the trail to the top- Along the trail made places to admire the waterfall. Some are so close to it that it pour spray from head to toe. 


This photo I made at the base. 

Just when you make out little figures of people in the photo, you can imagine the size and power of Krimml Fall. But on the photo it's only small part of it.When you ascend this rock near the base of waterfall, the power of wind is so high that you can not to stay on the feet. There are so many splatters that you become wet after a few seconds and noise of waterfall deafen you.

End of vacance

Well here I am back from vacation, full of impressions, photos and inspiration! Our vacance consisted of two parts: 

The first - a trip by car to the Alps. Here is our itinerary:

The second part - Greece, the island of Kefalonia

In this week wait for details of our journey with photo report!

Desert Rose

Now arrived the most hot time in south Italy.  Temperature varies from 33°С to 38°С (91,4F to 100,4 F). Last year on my birthday July 13 was 42°С heat (107,6 F). All the grass has dried, there are no flowers in the fields. And the only oleanders bloom with their strange beauty along the roads. 

All around me have beige color  - It's color of dried grass, golden-beige color of the sand on the beaches... Also town is beige because all the houses here are made from beige stone from Lecce.  All this golden and beige dilute splendor has inspired me to create this ring. I called it  "Desert Rose". It remember me about the sand, the desert and dry wind. 
I made crochet flower from sand colored cotton thread and decorated the center with vintage glass bead. Then I connected it to beige leather flower. Together these two different textures make this ring similar to dunes of Sahara with their dark and light splashes.

Sunday by the Ionian Sea

Today was wonderful day, warm and sunny. That’s why we decided to go to the Ionian sea (Brindisi is near Adriatic sea). It's about 40 minutes from Brindisi. 

Water was splendid and turquoise. It’s not cold already and I wet my feet. Sand was hot and gold. We passed 2 hours at the beach walking and reading. Of course I have done what I prefere at the beach – gathering of the shells.  And of course I payed for this my a little burned shoulders) I don't know where I will use these sheel but I like them very much!

In the evening we gone in the other town, Porto Cesareo, for walking and looking the sunset.

This town is very famous for fishermans and there are many fish markets. We bought many kind of small fish and the sea food to do wonderful “Zuppa di pesce” – Fish soup. This is very particular plate of our region. Today I show you some photos made in fish markets and next week I will post recipe for this famouse plate of South Italy.
