Bonecas da Teresa Carepo

As bonecas estão á venda no PORTAL DA VILA, uma casa de decoração na vila de Sintra junto a estação ao lado da esquadra da policia. As bonecas são um espanto e muitas são inspiradas em por exemplo os bordados de Castelo Branco , Viana do Castelo ou azulejos Portugueses.

Embora a foto seja minha, peço desculpa à artista por colocar aqui esta foto sem permissão mas queria alertar para aqueles (como eu) que as não conheciam.
