just to let you know I've opened another etsy shop 'dosgardenia' offering pretty things from faraway lands.
stocked with charm bracelets and jewellery supplies made with the treasures I've gathered on my travels over the years.
do stop by and take a look. we can tell each other tall tales of our swashbuckling adventures.
the name is from one of my favourite songs by buena vista social club, as sung by the wonderful late Ibrahim Ferrer. Having been to Cuba, this is such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Two Gardenias for you
With these I mean to say:
I love you, I adore you, my life
Look after them because
They are your heart and mine.
Two Gardenias for you
With all the warmth of a kiss
Like those I gave to you
Kisses that you will never know
In the embrace of another.
They will live beside you
And talk to you as I do
And you will even believe
that you hear them say: I love you.
But if one late evening
The Gardenias should die
It´s because they know
That you have betrayed me
And that you love another.
