Merry Christmas my friends!!!! My best wishes, full of health and love! Every Year this season I am trying to create a lucky charm for my home and of course as a gift to my beloved friends. Last Year I have created a charm full of cinnamon aroma and handmade clay ornaments and I loved it. But this year I wanted something more...childish! Mini Fairytale Houses from air clay!!!!
When I have free time from my kids, I adore to have a relaxed bath and a few minutes for myself, to take care my skin or my hair or my face! I know, this is not something usual, that's why I am saying...when I have time...hahaha! And what is best from a bath that smells amazing? lemon aroma maybe????
Καλημερούδια!!!
Άργησα, αλλα μπήκα! χαχαχαχα χιλια συγγνωμη για την καθυστερηση κουκλες, αλλα εχω τον μικρο αρρωστο και τρεχω ολιγον τι. Σημερα το καφεδακι θα ειναι χωρις ερωτηση όπως και όλα τα καφεδακια εντος των εορτων, αφού όλες τρεχουμε και δεν έχουμε πολύ χρόνο για κουβεντα. Φυσικα καθε σχολιο από πλευρας σας είναι ευπρόσδεκτο και θα το διαβασουμε ανετα!!!!
The past days the weather is cold (it was about time of course!!!) and it was just perfect for a walk in a favorite park with trees near my old house. Alone with one and a half men (my hubby and my baby boy!) we had great time walking around the trees. If you have never been in Park in Galatsi of Athens, just organize it to visit it with your friends or your kids. There are also two coffee shops, playground, fields and a cinema! Yes...too many things to do and it is amazing every season of the year! But for this walk, I needed something cozy and casual! An outfit in grey and forest green shades, with my favorite shoes and minimal accessories was simply perfect.
So far if I ever wanted to use dried orange slices in my decoration or in packaging or any other idea, I was visiting a local shop in Crete to buy them or in the centre of Athens. And guess...a few days ago I wanted a couple of slices to use but the weather was too rainy to go out with my baby boy. But I didn't give up...I made them by myself and from now on I will keep making them and not buying them!
I love new things...to buy them, to create them, to get them. I love tiny cute things, I love handmade things, I love girly things, I love....the two ornaments I got this week for our Christmas tree to reminds us the birth of our baby boy! I don't think I have ever mentioned it, but our Christmas tree has special ornaments. And when I say special, I mean symbolic. Every single ornament has its symbolism...tiny cute angels holding a red heart have been bought when we got married. The ceramic ballerina ornaments are for my princess' birth. Ornaments from our trips, from the past, handmade and not only!
Do you like mushrooms? I adore them...I can eat thousands of them and I can have them in my home decor. I do not know why I love them so much...maybe because I was a fan of Smurfs! A great friend just joined my blog and she has an amazing tutorial how to craft your own small mushrooms for your Christmas decor... and not only!
Σας αρέσουν τα μανιτάρια; Εγω τα λατρευω... μπορώ να φάω εκατοντάδες και μου αρεσουν και στη διακόσμηση του σπιτιου μου. Δε ξέρω γιατί μου αρεσουν τόσο πολύ... ίσω γιατι λάτρευα τα Στρουμφάκια! Μία αγαπημένη φίλη μόλις ήρθε στο blog μου και έχει να μας δείξει πώς μποροόύμε να φτιάξουμε τα δικά μας μικρα μανιταρια για τη διακόσμηση των Χριστουγεννων... και όχι μονο!
I love washi tapes! I love them in my wishing cards, in my jewelry boxes, for collage in my kids bedroom and so many other ideas! And I have plenty of them and each time I see a new pattern I get one! I told you...too many patterns and colors! That's why we are going to use them to wrap our Christmas gifts!
Λατρευω τα washi tapes! Τα αγαπω στις ευχετηριες κάρτες μου, τα κουτακια για τα κοσμηματα, σαν κολαζ στο δωματιο των παιδιων και σε τόσες άλλες υπέροχες χρήσεις! Και έχω ήδη αρκετα, αλλά και πάλι αν δω κατι νεο να μου αρεσω, απλα το παίρνω. Σας το είπα...τόσα πολλά σχέδια και χρώματα! Γι αυτό και θα τα χρησιμοποιησουμε για να διακοσμήσουμε τα δωρα των Χριστουγέννων!
Καλημέρες κουκλες!!!

I love the period before Christmas! I love the lights, the preparations I have to make, to search for gifts, to discover new recipes, the aromas in my home and the smiles on my kids face! And I love my new purchases and not only...new things, new materials! Bright colors, shiny details, tiny cute charms! I have already plan what I will create for my mother and for my friends!
Yesterday was an amazing day! Even December, the weather was amazing! Really sunny and hot and it was just the perfect opportunity to have a short walk in Marousi center! I love this place because most of the streets are pedestrians and it is really easy to have my baby with me. My hubby had the day off, so ...comfortable shoes and smile on our faces! What I enjoyed? The beautiful shops with the traditional products, the aromas from the spices, the coffee shops that were full of people, the Christmas decoration on the streets, the shops of course...and for last but not least...a hot cup of coffee!!! Casual in black with small grey and purple details and with my new neck warmer! Simple one of the best accessories for this Winter!
What were the facts?
1. I am on diet to loose the kilos from my second pregnancy...so I eat too much yogurt...so I have too many ceramic jars to use!
2. I love handmade gifts for Christmas.
3. I am in jealous with the woodland decoration I saw here.
4. I have too many gifts to make, so why not to recycle materials I already have to create something beautiful and cheap of course?
