Tropical fusion...

Sometimes you just want it to be summer....
The weather hasn't been very good this month but today it got better and I felt like having a tropical food party.

All these bright tropical colors and food from allover the world ( only sunny places ;-)) gave me the tropical feeling.

A tropical idea for your interior when its raining outside...

Tropical food in a non-tropical environment...

Sitting in the urban jungle...

and it made me very happy....

Pretty stationary...

Designing stationary is an upcoming trend. Lots of graphic designers start their own collections. And known lifestyle and fashion brands sell it in there shops. I found some pretty ones in Madrid a few weeks ago and I'd like to share them with you. I also found some pretty ones @ Etsy.com

It made me happy ( the designs where quirky and the prices good). A nice gift!
