This blog per se represents our wish and pleasure as Casa Cenina's staff to go beyond the simple label of an online shop. As it happens in those little shops in small towns where we feel at home, far from the colder and more aseptic supermarkets. Casa Cenina was born from the idea of creating a community, i.e. a virtual place, initially a forum, where we could share doubts and curiousities about the embroidery world. From this common passion came the need for a buying and selling network. Those who have embroidered for a long time should know that some years ago it was a problem to order special threads and fabrics. Almost everything came from the USA and the prices were very high. So Casa Cenina became a real purchasing site which expanded day by day. However, our attitude is still the same. At the bases of our work there is always a strong and confirmed will to share and to create some relationships with our embroiderers called "cenine". This takes place through our blog, the comments, the forum, but above all with our
Events. Well, let's be honest, internet is today a fundamental meeting place, but it's always beautiful to shake one's hands and to meet each others in person and at least once to abandon the screens of our computers. For 6 years Casa Cenina has been organizing some meetings between our clients-friends and the staff, but, above all, some rendez-vous with the masters of the embroidery reality. Here the complete list of our guests at the Festa del Ricamo: Frédérique of
