WHAT IS ROSAMARINHA?

Rosa Marinha is the name of my grandmother

RosaMarinha is also the name that I gave to the idea of embroidering T-shirts with words. I will select the words and my mother will embroider the T-shirts.

The embroider T-shirts will be available in every color and every size. The words are for now in English, French and Portuguese. All the T-shirts are new.

As you can imagine it will take moreless five days to embroider a T-shirt so I will put pictures in the blog when they are ready to go.

I´m available to send them to any place in the world.

It is possible to embroider a T-shirt in the size that you want and with the words you decide.

My name is Sergio and if you want to talk with me please send me an e-mail to rosamarinha@gmail.com.

SEE YOU !

please see some T-shirts above

The embroidering I use is based on the Portuguese 'Lencos dos Namorados', which means 'Lovers' Handkerchiefs'. History says this tradition comes from the XVIII century, when girls used to embroider sentences or poems in handkerchiefs and give them as a gift to their beloved. The boy would say yes to romance with the girl by wearing the handkerchief in public. That was the sign. Like saying 'love is in the air', XVIII century version.

from the movie “The gang´s all here” 1943

I wonder why does ev´rybody look at me and then begin to talk about a Christmas tree? I hope that means ev´ryone is glad to see the lady in the tutti-frutti hat. Some people say I dress too gay, but ev´ryday I feel so gay and when I´m gay, I dress that way. Is something wrong with that? Americanos tell me that my hat is high, because I will not take it of to kiss a guy but if I ever start to take it off, Ay, Ay! I do that once for Johnny Smith and he is very happy with the lady in the tutti-frutti hat.

"Royauté” by Jean-Arthur Rimbaud Un beau matin, chez un peuple fort doux, un homme et une femme superbes criaient sur la place publique: « Mes amis, je veux qu´elle soit reine!» «Je veus être reine!» Elle riait et tremblait. Il parlait aux amis de révélation, d`épreuve terminée. Ils se pâmaient l´un contre l´autre. En effet ils furent róis toute une matinee où les tentures carmines se relevèrent sur les maisons, et toute l´après-midi, où ils s´avancèrent du côté des jardins de palmes
