Ciaffi ~ eco paper goods




I think this small eco notebook would make a great little travel journal. The vintage image of the Eiffel Tower in the Exposition Universelle de Paris de 1889 definitely stirs the traveler in me. Ciaffi is full of so many  interesting eco paper goods. The creative team behind Ciaffi are sisters Mariana and Paula from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They use all kinds of recycled paper products for their handmade stationary.








Paula and Mariana use paper that is produced with bagasse pulp of sugar cane along with recycled ECF paper (Elemental Chlorine Free). The Parisian notebooks or journals are spiral bound and have a convenient pocket page at the front and back.









This lovely set of 12 handmade small envelopes with white folded note cards with rounded corners. The envelopes are made with kraft paper and have the Eiffel tower, Paris, a dove, a crown and a Parisian postal seal stamped on them. They come nicely packaged in a mini-corrugated box.









Or you may prefer to have 4 sets of  the 12  handmade small envelopes with folded note cards. The same envelopes made of  kraft paper with Parisian motifs stamped and folded white cards. Packaged  in a mini-corrugated box. A total of 48 envelopes with cards.






Ciaffi is only one of Mariana and Paula's creative shops on Etsy, they have three others. Branda is where you can find hand knitted items, Diasyflores for colorful stained glass work and MacraMe for unique macrame owl necklaces. Visit their blog The4inONE . Click on any of the colored links for more information or just to take a peek at their shops. Watch the fun video below for a little sample of their work.

Eva Yerbabuena ~ flamenco artist







Have I mentioned that I love Flamenco ? Yes, I even took flamenco classes but I'm saving that for another post this time I'm sharing one of my favorite flamenco artists, Eva Yerbabuena. She's a petite fireball ! My husband and I saw her perform at the Zellerbach theater in Berkeley California, an outstanding show. Even my husband the sports enthusiast was in awe of her performance.









 It's amazing how so much power and passion can be contained in such a tiny frame. At one point in the show her feet moved so fast it looked as if she was gliding across the stage.  Below I've included two videos of her performing.














The first video is a clip from the documentary "Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey" directed by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas 2002. The second clip is taken  from  "Hotel" directed by Mike Figgis 2001













For more information on Eva Yerbabuena you can click on any of the links or photos or visit her website EvaYerbabuena.com. You can also visit these websites to see her biography and all that is Flamenco :  Flamenco-world.com and esflamenco.com
