Well, I know I have not been posting much lately, as I am always busier during summer season and … you know, posting not only means time but inspiration and the right mood as well. The truth is that my mind (and body) was otherwise engaged and I consider this as a perfect period of…

In bloom with Danai-Vintage
How about those old precious clothes? Filled with memories, moments, life and the occasional rebellious threads coming out of the seams? Sometimes, as everything in this world, they have completed their own circle in someone’s life and are ready to be freshly reimagined and re-owned. I am all about sharing clothes. Sometimes I even believe that…
DIY Dreamcatcher and dreams…
I have always been a dreamer. I ‘ve mentioned it before. Lately I ‘ve felt inspired in so many ways and found so many new things to dream about, that I almost feel complete only by dreaming of them. Is that absurd? I think not, as I am sure that many people like me find a…
Drying citrus fruits for decorations
Do you ever notice that some feelings are associated with smells? Today it had to smell like orange. And clove. It had to be Christmas in every way possible around the house, as Christmas is the best anti-depressant for the moody winter days. Drying fruit for decorations proved to be much messier than I thought,…

Anthropologie – November favorites
Lately, I am experiencing particularly calm feelings. Such, that I had almost forgotten, given the pressure and difficulties and inner searching and mood swings of the last years. I don’t know if this will last long but I try to enjoy every moment as much as I can. I have so much going on in…
Grandma’s rustic Spinach Pie!
Having moved to my old, (and four years abandoned) house recently, means facing everyday “decay” challenges. A house that had no electricity, many broken roof tiles and weathered wooden doors for that long, is no easy thing and as winter approaches (thank God it’s Greece) I am in a constant fight with time. A situation…
What slow living means (to me)
I thought I should write a few things about this thing called “slow living” and how I perceive it as an idea and lifestyle. First of all, there is no “rule” board or specific regulations that you must follow, anyone can translate it the way they want. It is a broad idea, that first started…
