Happy Sunday

Life is quite eventless lately, nothing but work, work and even more work. The usual stuff.
But here are a few highlights from the past weeks.


My beautiful Millie Teal camera bag that i won in the Jo Totes Instagram contest arrived, and it is absolutely gorgeous!

The new Ikea catalogue arrived too, and they have some great new items.

My DIY clothespin bucket was picked as one of the winning contributions in Stampington's Green Craft Challenge

And i was picked as the winner of "Monday Makes" by the british craft magazine "Making". Their magazines are fabulous!

This book is fabulous, too!
And best of all, i ordered it for free from Amazon. Thanks MisterT, for the coupon code :)

Did you play the Google pinata game? Such a super cute idea!

8000 followers on Pinterest. WOW!

Happy Sunday!

DIY: Scarecrow Wreath

Hey Blogland, i've got news for you: it is NOT halloween yet!

How come last week everyone posted photos of their pedicured feet in front of a blue pool and a drink in their hands, and this week we see their pictures of perfectly decorated Halloween mantles. Blogland, you’re crazy, or what??

Why don't we all run to the next grocery store right now and buy christmas chocolate already. But let's not forget to bring a cooling bag to prevent the chocolate from melting on our way home...

*sigh*

Sure, the really hot days are over, but, and this is a big BUT ( and i cannot lie): it is still summer after all, and we're right in the middle of a season so beautiful, that it deserves to be a season of its own. I'm talking about what i call the "Golden Season": the transition from the last late summer days into early fall, with a color palette more striking than any other all through the year. 

The heat has gone, but it is still warm. The sun is not as bright and glaring as it used to be, and when it sets down in the late afternoon hours, it says "goodnight" to us with stunning orange and golden reflections everywhere. The leaves are slowly turning yellow and light brown, and again in the late afternoon hours, the trees seem to be surrounded by a heavenly golden glow.
