Guess What???
We did it again! We sold our beautiful Casa Azul. Because of Manolo's work we're moving back to our old neighborhood in the wooded mountains near Mexico City. We hope to start building house #6 in a gorgeous lot full of old oaks with views of the Iztaccihuatl volcano. Things will be a little crazy around here the next few days while we pack all our stuff to move into a really lovely house we rented in the woods. I will continue to post here as time allows. Be sure to follow me on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
Life is never boring with my sweet Manolo!

Wow! Congratulations! Whoever is buying casa azul is getting a jewel! :0)
OH, MAN! I do wish you guys are moving back to a sweet place, as your Casa Azul was my DREAM house... I even showed to my husband, as inspiration for a future house in England. Haha. Good luck with everything. xo
Oh All the very best!!! How exciting, a new adventure!!! Hard to leave the magic of the blue house but lovely to see what new doors open for you!!! Hope it all goes smoothly, lots of love...
The images of your old neighborhood are gorgeous. How amazing to be able to create a new home from nothing. Casa Azul is so beautiful I have no doubt your next home will be too. You and Manolo are magic makers.
while moving from your amazing blue house is sad...it must be fun to start again with a new masterpiece!! do you get input?
Good luck to you and your family on this new place, dear Geninne!!
Home is where the heart is!:)
la casa azul es una belleza, pero la próxima será aún mejor!! Nada más entretenido que imaginar y diseñar una casa.
Congratulations Geninne, that's so exciting! The photos from your old neighbourhood are truly beautiful :)
All the best for you Gennine! I am sure your next house will be as beautiful as the one before... Mucha suerte!
haha unbelievable!
but good luck with this new adventure!

Oh my goodness! What a surprise. I am so happy to have been given a glimpse of your beautiful blue house through your blog. I know that wherever you live will be gorgeous because, well, you're you! Good luck with all of the packing and moving. I think there might be some little birdies following you. :)
Oh goodness! It only seems a little while ago you moved in. Good luck with the new adventure ahead. Home is where your heart is... So true.

Lovely photos! And good luck with the move. :)
My goodness me! I love your new house! Are you going to miss it? Build something similar?
God bless,

Congratulations! You and Manolo seem to have no trouble selling your beautiful homes. You seem very happy to return to Mexico City and your old neighborhood, but I want to thank you for bringing the lovely Queretaro to the attention of all the people who follow your blog. You have been a great representative of the city and its surroundings! Looking forward to seeing all the photos you'll be posting of your new rental home and the one your most talented husband will be building for you and your family.
You bring beautiful birds and casas azuis wherever you go! Boa sorte!
blessings to you and your family on your move. may everything go smoothly and swiftly in this transition.
All of your houses are so, so beautiful that while I'm sad you're not going to continue posting photos of the current house, it means photos of yet another amazing house you and your family build and decorate!
Wow! So exciting and, yet, I felt just a little sad hearing that you're leaving your lovely home. No doubt, however, that I'll be thoroughly smitten with #6. Happy moving! :)
Wow how exciting! I'm sure there will be lots of new inspiration and adventures to come!
The only constant thing in life is change... love it and embrace it :)
I am so happy to of spent some time in your beautiful home, and can't wait to hear about your new adventures best of luck with the move
much love

What??? Wow!!! I saw the title of your blog and of course was wondering what your news would be as I scrolled down, but I hadn't expected that! How exciting to have a new adventure! Your blue house is so beautiful, and I'm sure you new one will be just as lovely and yet new and different and unique. Your old / new neighbourhood looks so full of character and charm. Good luck!!

Having lived all my adult life in one flat I can't believe how frequently you and Manolo build new houses and move! What an interesting way of life! Good luck with the moving! I am looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful new photos of your rental and future No 6!AriadnefromGreece!
Wow! Just like that? This is so thrilling!! Everything will be fine, and the next "home" even better...
The house won't be the bleu one but it will be seen throw

So I never got the opportunity to visit your Mexican paradise. I hope you'll find a new one, I'm sure you will. Good luck with all the practical stuff, always more to do than you think. Looking forward to see pictures from your new place :)
Best wishes and kisses
I love your blog! This post is awesome!
Check out my blog, write your opinion and maybe...follow?
Where are you from?
Gennine - I'm so happy for you! However, I'm sad to see you leaving the blue house - it is a great piece of art. It was a wonderful showcase for your art and photography. Also, my mom and I will be in San Miguel in October, and I was so hoping to see you again in your home town. We will see if our paths cross again in real life. Pack up carefully!
what a life your family has! like birds: nesting and then flying away, to be nesting somwhwere else! pretty wild family lifestyle;)
good luck with building a new house, can't wait to see the process. of course if you'll want to share it here with us:)
nooo :-( it was so beautiful the casa azul ...
but I'm sure the next one it will be a great place, like that

How do your children cope with all of the moves?

bendiciones y esperare con ansias las fotografías de su nuevo hogar...de color será ahora? y cual será su nombre..?..gracias por las cosas tan bellas que nos regala día día, agradecida por el calendario y su arte de todo corazón, un abrazo.
¡Vaya! Estoy deseando ver la nueva casa. Y además verás el Iztaccihuatl todos los días, me encanta esa montaña.
Wow. Very exciting. Your blue house was lovely, but your new one will be, too. I'm looking forward to photos of your temporary home and surroundings and the building process of the new house. And of course, your work. Always amazing.
Geninne, admiro la capacidad de mudarse tantas veces sin la añoranza de dejar un lugar como ese... yo soy más de aferrarme a un sitio, felicitaciones!!
I LOOOVE Casa Azul! I will so miss seeing it. But eagerly anticipating House Six.
Wow! I am a bit behind on the news here, but congratulations on selling your house and taking on a new project. I know it will be as amazing as casa azul. I'm so happy you will get to enjoy the woods for a while. No doubt we will see its influence on your beautiful work.
Wow - I turned away for a minute and you are moving! I guess the rainbow meant something! Lucky folks to have bought your blue beauty.

Mucha suerte familia, les deseo lo mejor. Que la casa #6 tenga un lugar especial para cada uno de ustedes. Extrañaremos la casa azul, pero con mucha ilusión esperaremos la instalación de la nueva casa.
hi geninne your blog inspired me! i dont own a facebook page or twitter anything like that, so because of your blog i decided to make my own with my work!
im embarassed and im afraid of beeing silly with this.
But because im scared im goin to do it.
like i post in my blog, sory for spelling and my cat is sleeping in half of my keyboard.
i love your work and im a fan of bird as well. in fact i bought two of them in a pet store just to release them into freedom, but they didnt knew how to fly so now im theaching them.
its been a month almost and now they are chubby and flying really funny.
my boyfriend and i made them a big cage without a door and they fly around and then come back! its amaizing!
anyways i know u have a lot to read so dont worry with the answer!
my blog is sad right now haha! but with time i hope it feels like yours! worm happy and with insipartion!
thank you for sharing yourself to the world!
Geninne, I am so in love with your blog! Thank you for it and for what you do here. I've just followed you on Instagram so I will able to see your beautiful photos more frequently. All your casas are amazing and if I ever buy one for myself I'll be looking for something like those you lived in :)
Thank you for inspiration!
