Hand made bijoux

Yesterday I bought various metal and glass beads in silver, white and transparent shades and I made myself this bangle.














I love those cute little crown and Madonna pendants I think I'm going to use in another project with some other beads left...















Mumble mumble... got to keep my mind busy till monday...
:)))

Have a nice week-end,
Ciao, E.

Roses

This is the lovely book my darling bought to me

On late summer afternoons like these, I like to have a slice of cake and look at the amazing drawings, feeling surprised about that the air is getting fresher again and autumn is getting closer.
Autumn and spring are my favourite seasons: autumn is melancholic and suits my mood perfectly, spring is full of life and feels like a rebirth to me.

This time of the year is perfect to get organized, so after the "relax" here it comes the time for making new plans, go for some shopping to fill the cupboard (we went to the mall and also to a discount store , that was fun, cheap and not so bad in the end), and thinking about some new storage solution for my wardrobe and stuff... which is a real nightmare for who lives in a small flat.
Perfume deodorant, tissues pack, hair clips, small samples and other "beauty" items are hidden in these cute baskets.
Clothes to iron go in antoher one on the wardrobe.
Looking for other clever solutions!
Ciao E.

Sleepy

mmm... pillows... zzzz...


















cadlelight...

I really feel like going back to bed, but I would feel a bit guilty to do that.
Although I decided I'll take it easy this morning; in no time I'll be back to work (a new one)
again and I'll be dreaming about having a free from work monday like this one.
So I'm going to do all the things I like and that would make me feel relaxed.
I'll be back later... "Internet window shopping" it's on the list :))

Ciao!

Simple things

Yesterday i was just thinking about how my life suddenly changed in better.
Sometimes it could be difficult to accept too much happiness... don't know. My kind of pessimistic personality makes me always worry about things like: ok, what's going to happen now?
But I think I decided to quit. I mean, I'm trying to think positive, when I can. Because I can enjoy simple things of life and they deserve to be enjoyed.

And talking about simple things... as you probably know in Italy we don't use to have a proper big meal for breakfast, even tough I like northern european salty breakfast. We use to have just a cup of coffe or milk and coffee and a croissant or some biscuits.
This is how i like mine: a cup of milk and coffee and a big slice of pan brioche bread with some mixed berry compote I make. Unfortunately I noticed that milk is very bad for me...I don't seem to digest it very well :( so I'll have to replace it. I'm trying soya milk but umm... we'll see!


Gotta go now. I have to do some cleaning this morning...

Ciao! :)

Welcome in floral path! Summer holidays

Hello everybody,
I hope you will enjoy this brand new little blog, I decided to write this in english instead of italian because it is a more international language. Please forgive my spell mistakes!

I'm enjoying my holidays even if I find that the weather in Italy it is a bit too hot during the summertime. Anyway, apart from the days i go to the beach to have a refreshing bath, i use to pop out and visit my favourite venues.
Yesterday i have been to our local market where i found some old beautiful linen for only 50 euro cents each! They're so pretty, i will show you them in one of my next posts. I bought some nice white roses too. Coming back home i found an old Philips tape recorder someone just trew away, it was veery heavy to carry but i managed to bring it back home to me. While I was doing this there where something like 36 degrees, i thought that i am totally crazy. But, you know, when you like something you just have to do it! I always have a quick look around junk bins... I know it sounds horrible, but it is amazing what you can find! :)
Here's one of the pictures i toke in my home. It is my blue corner, a bit blurry...
Have a nice summertime!
Ciaociao
