Little bits of pretty from Portugal...

I was roundly mocked by the boyfriend for my fireplace lounging wish-list yesterday. Why can't men appreciate that a lovely snuggly blanket is indeed worth spending the price of a dirty weekend on? Can comfort be said to have a price tag? Apparently, yes - and it's considerably lower than the one on the items I crave. One of the reasons I wanted to start this blog was to have a place for all of the things I love enough to want for myself (I haven't warned my bank manager yet). So to calm the boyfriends racing heartbeat, I've picked out a variety of (much cheaper) pieces of pretty from Portuguese crafters on Etsy. Despite having one of the highest levels of internet penetration in Europe, for some reason not many Portuguese seem to be selling their items online - but I'll hunt out what I can and post it here for your viewing pleasure.
