CATCH UP...

it's friday!
i'm always excited to announce friday. this week especially, when i actually had some time to breathe, regardless of a slight illness mid-week (caught up with some sleep). now.
what will you be doing this weekend? i hope it will be a

{here}

i have something most intruiging in mind.
can anyone guess?

PICTURE PERFECT*

i'm back!
i feel much better today which also means i should get back to all the work that has fallen back.
before i take another tiny step towards anything or anywhere,
let me share pictures from thanksgiving heaven!

this place is a piece of a dream on earth,
ever since i left greece, i don't remember another...

TEUSDAY GOODY BAG*

is unfortunately cancelled...
i am ill or if you prefer, je suis malade.

have a lovely day
xoxo

GOURMET REMEDIES*

happy week everyone!
i hope you had a lovely tome this weekend, and holiday.
I came back with many romantic pictures to share with you, but also with a terrible sore throat!
so i thought it would be a lovely idea to share a recipe with you all,
that is perfect for soothing the pain.

{here}

it is quite easy,
and extremely tasty. all you have to do is...

THANKFUL FOR...

for all of my friends abroad,

tomorrow is thanksgiving; a celebration of being thankful, expressing it and sharing wonderful moments with family, friends and neighboors!

so, i would like to take this chance to wish everyone,

{via}

i will be off to to fairyland again, with new pictures to share with you!

i'm taking a few essentials and can't wait for the afternoon. will you be going anywhere? 

but...

before i go, i would like to express thanks

TUESDAY GOODY BAG*

every season it's natural to get hooked with a different color,
what is your favorite now?
this time, it took a while, but i love velvety red, the delicious shade of dried cranberries.

it's warm, it reminds me of red wine, fireplaces and cranberry {8} sauce.
you might have noticed another little object in this tuesday bag, that contrasts...

THOUGHTS & SMILES*

it's another monday, so how about we make it a little more interesting?
let's talk about women!

we must narrow it though, because we could go on forever!
as i was searching for the english phrase of...

SPICY WEEKEND*

hello there!
i am wondering, what have you been up to this week?
i hope you've had some fun and creative time.
now that thanksgiving is approaching and the weather is so frosty my mind lingers to spices!

in drinks and pastries, perfumes and creams,
in a pot over the stove spreading the aromas in...

SLEEP*

sleep is a great gift. i have come to cherish it lately with all my heart.
before i go to bed tonight, i will leave you with some food for thought upon the matter...

this cracked me up,
regardless of my drooping eyelids but i think...

TUESDAY GOODY BAG*

is it just me, or is it actually, truly too soon to talk about the holidays?
am i really the only one that is not in such a hurry?
firstly, it is still november, and i have a lot to get done before *sigh* december.
secondly, it feels so out of place and spirits. the holidays to me always meant spending time with people you love and eating heartily...and a lot.
so this tuesday i refuse to go along with this flow, but still want to go window shopping with you guys, and therefore here is my "anti-gift guide" goody bag!

take a breath, while everyone else hustles and bustles and...

RANDOMNESS*

dreary mondays have i guess their own charm,
i try to find it in little things, like a fresh cupcake after work, and images live or digital.
inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, and never fails to lift your day.

{my own pic}

this is an image from the new acropolis museum in athens,
it had become my second favorite place to visit whenever i was there!
i loved how...

JUST ONE THING

i left you unposted this thursday, 

but today, our cherished friday, i have a special wish for us all...

{original photograph}

however, here is the trick, 

i want you to take the word "romantic" and...

HUNGRY ANYONE?

this wednesday i prepared something that is bound to make you smile.
what you may ask?

a lovely, endearing and wonderful song...

TUESDAY GOODY BAG*

it is getting so chilly and frosty outside,
winter is here and it is making its presence quite noticeable! time for giant sweaters and hats that easily resemble, rather large socks! but i'm also getting a holiday vibe, although, and trust me on this -
i am far from in a hurry for Christmas. however let's just enjoy the color schemes...

so basically, you get the picture,
hot chocolates, books, and glitter...

INSPIRATION - YES PLEASE!

hello everyone!
how was your weekend? here in ny we are expecting a snow storm.
i don't know how excited i am about that. haha!
however i have been much more pleasantly occupied, and wanted to share some very inspiring  and charming words with you.

coming from the man that wore the greatest 80's-90's sweaters that ever existed.
no, but seriously now - just last week i found...

HERE WE GO...

well,
for probably the first time ever since i started this blog, i am under such a state of mixed feelings that i can't speak.
litterally. excited, worried, in awe and underslept...definitely malnourished.
all i can say is "oops!", that's what i've been saying often lately.

why you may ask?
here is one thing you didn't know...
