A Vida Portuguésa


Do you like this tin donkey? I do. I spotted it on Rosa Pomar's wonderful blog before Christmas and curious to know more, followed the link to A Vida Portugésa, a marvellous online shop selling traditional Portuguese products used by young and old alike. The A Vida Portugésa team have scoured the land to find classic objects "with a soul", and have put together a charming collection of stationery, books, toys, embroidery, homeware and condiments/delicatessen food. Here are some of my favourites (you may wish to hide your credit card before I begin...)

Serrote notebook exclusive to A Vida Portuguésa (want one!)





Traditional Minhoto Valentine embroidery
(this would look beautiful framed)

Lost desktop - collection of Portugese paper ephemera (50-80s)


1992 edition of Portuguese architect, graphic illustrator and ceramist Raul Lino's (1879-1974) 1933 classic book Portuguese Houses.


Happy Browsing!
