Last week, the Queen of the Carnival was chosen in Las Palmas GC (Canary Islands) between these amazing and stunning costumes I bring you today. Some of these designs are so heavy that the participants need to be helped to move them around the stage, and they take many months to be made. Aren't they gorgeous?
Happy Birthday to all those who were born thhis month of the year! :) November´s birthsone is Topaz and here I bring you today a collection of jewels handmade in with topaz or in topaz colored stones: Click on the pictures to go to the listings.
Take a look at these amazing pumpkin carving ideas I bring you today. Fun and original, they are all a great way to decorate your Halloween party this year. The one you can see above was found here.
The Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is less than 15 days away, and it´s considered "the wedding of the year" for many people. Here are a few curiosities and fun facts that maybe you didn´t know: 1) At Buckingham Palace garage lies the State Landau, a horse-draw carriege in which the newlyweds will make their first tour of London. It was built in 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII and since then it has been used for the decades by Queen Elizabeth II, was the same that Prince Charles and Lady Diana used to greet the British in 1981 after their wedding, and also was used by the Duke of York in 1986. 2) The wedding will be celebrated in the Westminster Abbey. It is located in London and it is Gothic church that has traditionally served as the scene of coronations of British monarchs. This is the same temple where the funeral of Lady Diana was celebrated.
3) The couple will start their marriage life in North Wales. They will life in the island of Anglesey, where for more than half year they will moved temporarily into a white-fronted house for rent.
4) A lot of souvenirs have been created for this event. Here a few examples:
5) After the wedding, the couple will probably follow the tradition in will show them in the balcony of the Buckingham Palace.
6) A company has used the Royal Wedding theme to make a funny advert:
Halloween is only 30 days far away so I will be posting several Halloween Special features within the next weeks on my blog.
One of the most amazing things of Halloween is how it is able to wake up the creativity of the people. For example, by carving impressive sculptures in pumpkins! Here is a small collection of these pieces of art, it´s a shame they don´t last forever!
