3 little deer welcoming... March ~

hello there!

[via]

 I promised myself to pass by and make even a tiny post welcoming the new month...

 so here I am,

 ... among wallpapering walls

 ... organizing in detail {finally after almost 4 months!} kitchen drawers

 ... frequent trips to Ikea

 ... bringing home doors to perfect our storage system

 ... indoor & outdoor plants & flowers

 ... spending time with our neighbors,

 having their adorable 16 month old daughter over for occasional visits...

 ... finally also accepting the visit of a dear friend...

 all that after some days of emotional turmoil resulting from being concentrated on past traumas.

 not the wisest thing to have done, but so it turned out to be

 & now that days have passed, may I say

 that there is an internal clearance & newly risen peace

Life is nice, simple, calm, delightful at times & full...

sun rises early & our still untreated windows bring in the morning sun,

waking me up early...

the silence from the woods broken by tweeting birds...

who have been paying visits to the veranda & winter garden...

there is much to share 

& 

so will happen...

after all, you must know by now I always return 

&

 am ever present here even when silent or taking a break

technically speaking, difficulties seem to be reaching to an end,

 after an new Internet server has been ordered,

works in the house proceeding in a more satisfying pace,

while results start to be more & more evident...

till the next post here {sooner than it took this one to take place for sure ; )}

I thought you might want  to have a look at the 1st blog post of our Kitchen Adventures

as shared on Ikea Family Live

... nice way to wish a

Happy First of March to everyone, or?... 

last but not least at all, did I mention that while walking through the woods heading to the - then - frozen lakes about a week ago

while my mother was visiting, 

three little deer just like Bambi passed before us?

I feel that I'm living in a fairy tale...

one which is truer than any of the truths...

Love

P:S: stumbled upon {this} beautiful illustration by Madame Lolina, while on Pinterest recently... glad I did... it served wonderfully in unfolding this post  :*)

Woody Allen & other famous people illustrations

 hello everyone on this Saturday afternoon!

 thank you so much for showing up and sharing nice comments

 about the days spent in our current home

 &

 around Frankfurt with {this} lovely lady.

 ... developing friendships is so precious nowadays...

in case you are you perhaps wondering how come you are seeing me here

three days in a row during a busy period,

well... I was rather not supposed to be having time to

be on line today, at least not until later,

but a slight change of plans is 

resulting in me "stealing" some time

as I'm collecting inspiration lately

together with planning our future home to be,

I randomly stumble upon

quite a few things and people,

whose work drows my attention & feel it's quite suitable to bring 

to our rather selective pages

there are already a couple of people whose

work has touched me beyond words can describe

and am looking forward to sharing here,

but such posts require no time limits,

as I may be writing... forever!

this post will be kept relatively short,

and in all its spontaneity,

I'll proceed with sharing

a choice of prints

from the ingenious and quite recognized work

of illustrator {Judy Kaufman},

since yesterday I'm also becoming familiar with it...

I really like the famous people illustrations,

my favorite ones being these of 

Woody Alen & Charles Chaplin

{the 1st & last pictures here}

there is actually a collection of  9 of them

where you can choose a set of three from.

hop {here} and there you are!

I guess my 3rd choice would be {Frida Carlo}...

what about you?

does this kind of art attract you?

yes? which would you choices be?

personally, I'm also attracted to such prints like the ones below:

..................................... this neighborhood ...................................

[via]

........................... this tree in black & white .................................

................................ with its cleverly "hidden" birds ...............................

{can you actually count how many?}

 

[via]

........................... this urban city and cars.....................................

which attracts my eye with all these graphic lines,

 simplicity & soft grey tones...

[via]

&

....................................... Charles Chaplin .................................

................... last, but certainly not least as it is my favorite ...........

......................

so my dears, clock is ticking,

break from "real life" is over, 

and running right back to it,

 as the weather

today is a wonderful gift,

especially for us living in the middle & northern parts of Europe

I'll have to wish you already a wonderful weekend ahead,

and renew our date here quite soon,

 this time sharing more pictures from

 the {recent photo shooting around our home},

the special handmade gift I received,

while also sharing inspiration,

lovely artists I have been having the pleasure of personally 

getting in contact with thanks to this blog

&

if all angels of the earth and universe bless me with the gift of

time,

a little taste of the ever on going creativity sessions taking place here

&

perhaps some shop updates to share

take care ~

enjoy your weekends!
