***************************************************************

Hola, mi gente! 

I can hardly believe we made it to the end of the month of October and I’m doing the 14th and final giveaway to celebrate my 14 Years in the Blogosphere. 

Let me introduce you to Silvia Maria, the über talented Cuban artist and owner of Love Love Goose. You may have seen (and loved!) some of her designs in different places. 

Most recently, she surprised me with this gorgeous Limited Edition of our beloved Cachita (La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre). I absolutely treasure it. I love the way she uses color so fearlessly and I think you’ll agree that her style is just super fun. 

So, saving the best for last, here’s the 14th MBFCF Fourteen Years in the Blogosphere Giveaway of 2020 sponsored by the lovely Silvia Maria and Love Love Goose:

{Disclaimer: I took these messy photos trying to get all the prints into the frame. Shut up. I know. Just appreciate her talent. Thankyouverymuch.}

The first group of prints is what I’m calling the Cafetera Set. The prints are 8 1/2×11, the smaller ones 5×7 and the rest are stickers. 

How cool is that? I love every single one of these. 

The second is the Celia Group. Also, please appreciate “the last Coca-Cola in the desert.” LOL! (It’s DEFINTELY a Cuban thing.)

Every time I see her work, I try to find a space on my walls and try to figure out where I can fit them. So adorable! *insert heart eyes emoji here* Because, seriously, how well does this represent the best of our Cubanity?

There will be two winners for this giveaway, thanks to the gracious generosity of Love Love Goose. 

Here’s how to enter the giveaway for a chance to win one of the 2 fabulous Love Love Goose print sets, 1)The Cafetera Set or 2)The Celia Group.

  • To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment right here on THIS POST – click over to the Love Love Goose site and tell me which is your favorite design and where would you hang it? 
  • Go love Love Love Goose on Instagram and come back and tell me “I love Love Love Goose!” 

I’ll be choosing 2 winners on Friday, November 6th, 2020 at 11:00 am PST. You have until then to enter. Buena Suerte!

Also, winners are randomly chosen using the True Random Number Generator on Random.org.

    Although I love the “Cachita” print, the The Celia Group is fabulous! I would hang it in my kitchen. Binged Celia on Netflix. (now on NBC!) “Azucar!” And, “I love Love Love Goose!”

  3. Faustino Rodriguez says

    October 30, 2020 at 7:31 am

    I love the “cafeteras” with the Cuban flags. It’s a beautiful print that represents two things we Cubans love, coffee and our beautiful Cuban flag.

  4. Faustino Rodriguez says

    October 30, 2020 at 7:32 am

    “I love, love, love Goose!”

    Love love Goose is the best and all Cubanity!
    1. I would love the cafetera set and hang it in my office/food truck
    2. I’ve liked/loved/followed/support/share/brag about her work for years now.

    Great way to end your giveaway celebration!

    My all time favorite is my namesake La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre. I would hang her over my front door para que cuide la casa y todos lo que entran y salgan.
    Felicidades Marta! 💄

    I love the Celia collection. Once I saw “Friends for Ever” I knew that the collection was for me, after all I can truly identify with Miss Piggy. This collection is the perfect addition to my “Cuban inspired kitchen.”
    After visiting the Love, Love Goose page I can say “I love, Love Love Goose!”

    Thank you again for continuing to give us the chance to win your giveaways! They have been fun to look at. I like the cafetera set, and I would put on a picture frame in the kitchen to compliment with the Cuban food wall hanging. 😉 I love. love. love Goose! 🇨🇺

    I love love love goose. I love the cafetera set. I am redoing my family room Art Deco tropical style. The cafetera prints would make a great addition on my baby blue walls. I would share the stickers with all my friends who are honorary Cubans at the Arts High School where I teach, where I spoil my friends with cafésito con espumita on Fridays or Mondays! They love the coffee shots and it makes everyone happy and alert. What a great reminder of the Cuban beverage of choice -the stickers and now the favored coffee of teachers at the academy in Hartford. My students love it too- hey it’s cultural! I would love the cafecito. I also think you are like my twin. If you didn’t live so far I would think we are related. I would definitely use some to decorate my classroom as well! ( I also love la Caridad del Cobre) very fun!

    I love Love Love Goose! Her Cuban artwork brings out the best from our culture. The Celia group is stunning. I would hang it on my “Cuban Wall” in my kitchen. I have 3 Cuban art pieces on a bright canary yellow wall and I would love to add to my Cuban Wall collection to brighten up my home and infuse my Cuban culture into my day to day life. Azucar! 💗

    The Cafeteras in the Cocina, but of course!! Aunque BB believes the sala needs some AZUCAR! to accompany it. 😉👍❤

    I love the Jupiña & the Best Friends Prints. I would hang both in my kitchen !!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️ Today I’m O’C Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️

My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was on the first Pedro Pan flight in December of 1960. Happily, my family was only separated for a few very tense months. But we were part of the lucky few who managed to leave the country rather quickly.Once reunited, my father vowed we’d never be separated again and so when my older sisters were to be married in California, he packed up the family and we never looked back.We lived in Miami for the first 3 years of our exile, before my parents moved us across the country, and so we made our lives in Southern California.As Cubans in California – “en el exilio del exilio” – we managed to find other Cuban families and connected with the familiar community of people who spoke our language and recognized our customs and our food.I’ve told the story of my family’s exile many times using whatever words the Lord sees fit to give my feeble brain.Tonight, I’m a white haired 70 year old grandmother (call me Wella😉) living in Southern California with the family my husband and I have created.My parents passed away years ago. (And I unabashedly miss them daily💔).What’s happening tonight (on the island that saw me born) is that the people have taken to the streets armed with nothing but pots and pans and have been banging them for 12 hours as of this writing, calling for “Libertad!”Who could believe we would actually see this day?
Who can sleep when freedom is so close you can taste it?Praying for the brave people of Cuba. May liberation come quickly! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Also, I’m shining up my own pots and pans. It’s almost time.
There are just no words for this moment.
This is OUR Berlin Wall moment and the cracks are already stating to show.#patriayvida

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
