LAST DAYS OF SUMMER..

 

Lijepi pozdrav svima! Žao mi je, nije me bilo neko vrijeme na blogu.. malo zbog vrućine, malo zbog gužve u poslu, a najviše zbog potrebe da ljetne dane što manje provodim u kući i što dalje od kompa i sličnih uređaja. Švercala sam se preko ljeta, priznajem, brzim postanjem na FB stranici, javljajući se s fotkama novih torbi i drugih proizvoda.. Bilo ih je dosta, (mnoge nisam niti fotkala) i hvala vam svima koji ste izabrali i nosili ovo ljeto AMARADI. Puno znači vaša podrška! 

Godišnji?? ..hah! Ove godine u nekom mini izdanju, leteći i neplanirano prekinut. Ipak, nekoliko slatkih i zasluženih slobodnih dana. More, Zadar i srednja Dalmacija. Evo par fotki.. (slikano mobom, jer sam opušteno zaboravila fotić koji mi je praktički stalno u ruci..)

Hello everyone! It´s nice to be back to blogging. End of the summmer.. huh.. Have to admit not happy about that. Summer is my favourite season and I am always little sad when it ends. I was working a lot whole summer. It was so hot here in Croatia, sometimes too hard for sewing and creating, but I was persistant. My guy and me managed to take few days to rest. I am sharing with you few pics from our mini vacation taken by phone (..while fast packing, I left my camera at home..).

Laying on the beach in September and enjoying great view on adorable islands.. Just relaxing..

Our family house is near Zadar. This photo was taken in Queen Jelena Madijevka Park. I love this garden. If you are planing to visit Zadar you just have to see this beautiful place.

AMARADI interview ON OMNIS ART

 

 

Uzbudljivo poslovno razdoblje ovih dana.. Osim puno novih fanova (na FB stranici) i starih kupaca i prijatelja čije me porukice uvijek razvesele, imam još jednu lijepu vijest. Na Omnis Art- u možete pročitati intervju u kojem sam s velikim zadovoljstvom  učestvovala. Omnis Art je portal za  promicanje kreativnog stvaralaštva, sve veći i veći web shop koji okuplja brojne hrvatske autore, mjesto na kojem se možete dobro odmoriti uživajući u razgledavanju velikog mnoštva hand made proizvoda i naravno, izabrati i kupiti odlične poklone, za sebe i svoje najdraže. Bilo mi je zato jako drago kad mi je stigao poziv za intervju od tako vrijedne i uspješne ekipe. Pozivam vas da navratite na stranicu, škicnete intervju i možda saznate nešto novo o AMARADIJU.

 

  Exciting business period these days .. Besides a lot of new fans (on our FB page) and old customers and friends whose small notes always cheer me, I have one more good news. Today I gave an interview for  Omnis Art site. I did that job with great pleasure. Omnis Art is a site for the promotion of creative production, web shop that brings together a number of Croatian authors, the place where you can enjoy in  large offer of hand-made products and of course, choose and buy great gifts for yourself and your loved ones . I was therefore very glad when I got the invitation for the interview from so creative and businesss successful team. I invite you all to check this site and maybe learn something new about AMARADI.

TURQUOISE..

Iako je ova AMARADI torbica već otputovala svojoj novoj vlasnici na naš prekrasni otok Hvar, poželjela sam s vama podijeliti jednu kombinaciju za koju me inspirirala. 

Ljeto, boje , more..

Although I already sent this AMARADI bag to its new owner on our beautiful island Hvar, I wanted to share with you this combination for which this bag inspired me..  
Summer, colors, sea..

WORKING..

 

 

 Izrada hand made proizvoda zahtijeva puno, puno truda i veliku pažnju i brigu o svakom detalju. Ukoliko trebate proizvesti mnogo toga, (..vezano uz: imati mali biznis u Hrvatskoj zna biti jako skupo, a proizvode morate izbaciti na tržište po prihvatljivim cijenama..) ponekad je takva proizvodnja iscrpljujuća. Ipak, kad rezultate svog rada složite u male hrpice, umoran, ali zadovoljan smješkić nikad ne izostane. Pozdrav svima iz proizvodnje!

Making hand-made products requires great effort and great care and attention to detail. Production of large amounts of hand made products sometimes can be exhausting. (.. regards: a small business in Croatia can be very expensive, and you have to offer the products on the market at reasonable prices ..) However, when your work is finished and you load products into small piles, tired but satisfied smile never fails. Best regards everyone from the production!

VIBRANT COLORS, SOFT MATERIAL ..

 

Nove ogrlice su dodane u shop. Šarene, ljetne, pahuljaste.. Birala sam mekanu svilu i viskozu, slagala intenzivne boje, željela da budu sexy i romantične, pršteće i vedre .. Baš kao što ljeto treba biti! 

New necklaces are added to the shop. Colorful and fluffy .. I chose soft silk and viscose, matched the intense colors and  wanted them to look sexy and romantic, charming and cheerful .. Just as summer should be!

PAST FEW DAYS I WAS..

Posljednjih dana samo sam se odmarala i uživala ne radeći ništa... ha, ha, ha...Samo se šalim!

Past few days I was relaxing and doing nothing.. ha, ha ha.. Just kidding!

 Sezona počela.. AMARADI proizvodi su na policama većine galerija. Dani su proletjeli, a posljednjih nekoliko izgledalo je ovako.. Proizvodnja, fotkanje, paketi, telefoniranje, mailovi, papiri, sastanci .. ali i domaći kolači, praćenje omiljenih blogova, šetnjica (na žalost, uglavnom do dućana po namirnice, ništa uzbudljivije), večernje rashlađivanje i guštanje na terasi uz dragog.. Evo nekoliko novijih fotki .. Hvala svima koji nas čitate i koji ste navraćali, bez obzira na to što sam se rijetko javljala ovih dana..

Summer season has started .. AMARADI products were delivered to shops and galleries on the coast. Last few days it looked like this.. Production, photographing, packages, phone calls, emails, paper work, meetings .. I managed to find few precious moments for baking a nice cake, visit my favorite blogs, walking (unfortunately, mostly to shop for groceries, nothing exciting) and  enjoying cool evenings on the terrace with my guy.. Here are some photos I want to share with you ..

 

..bags,bags,bags..

 

 

 

 

 

.. working on new necklaces line..  just a peek, more to come..

 

 

..and finally.. THE CHERRY STRUDEL! I am crazy for cherries and other fresh fruit from our garden..
