Flowers!
Wonderful flowers brought to me in a bouquet from the mummies of my little students! They were over for coffee yesterday morning, as we were making arrangements for the monthly, seasonal art & crafts classes in English here in the Penthouse, as an addition to the weekly classes. More opportunity for English and more time for crafts! We are beginning this Saturday, ole!
As for the lovely flowers, which originally arrived in a beautiful bouquet, I couldn't resist the temptation to get creative by rearranging them using various vases, especially my beloved square, glass, bottles of American Farm School Pasterised milk....donated to me by a very musically talented friend back in Greece, who also appreciates all things nice.
Thank you all!
...and wishes for a lovely Friday and Weekend!
Warming things up....
(more detalis on this photo here)
by slowly laying all the carpets in the apartment, eventhough today's
weather is like heaven on earth here in Hessen!
...and by spicing things up a bit by adding some fun details, something so needed in a white & natural toned environment! Here, some " flying milkjugs " , hunging from an Ikea tree, (also seen here) inspired by amazing and talented Ninainvorm's display of beautiful mugs.
If you haven't already done so - something almost impossible coz she's eveywhere, from Flickr, to Wohnen Ideen, to this issue of Ikea Family magazine, to her blog and Etsy shop, be sure to pay her a visit at any or all of the above places! Sit back and enjoy!
By the way, if I did not already own this off white, pure woolen carpet (1,80 x 2,40cm), bought at Ikea 2 - 3 winters ago and being still in a pretty good condition, I would have very much loved to buy yesterday at my - almost - regular Teusday Ikea evening visit (after the Art Classes in English) this one, which celebrates earthy yellow and geometry so fine! It's the Alvine Ruta, it meausures 1,70 x 2,40 cm and it costs - in Germany - 149 euros. Not bad!
As a choice of carpet, I also find the grey Alvine Rand very appealing. It is the "brother" of the previous one, as they are made from the same material, have the same dimensions, style and price. Up to you to choose!
Contemporary elegance
This is the first picture I came across this morning here, which is one of my daily online reads, that blew my mind.... In the most calm and relaxed way. It cought my attention for its:
Elegance
Not overexaggerated minimalism
Balance
Simple Beauty
Marriage of old and new
Colours, Textures & Materials
I simply enjoy finding the beauty in less and in this case I think that white, gold and brown tones couldn' t have worked better together, than in the composition of the picture above. Amazing - possibly - teak wooden chair, of what looks to be Danish design, with exquisite curves , modern, shiny white table surface and thin, golden, brass ( ? ) silhouettes of candleholders, caring the simplest off white candles. Very contemporary elegant. YES.
Happy Teusday to all!
Is there anything better than acceptance and recognition?
....except ,of course, from true unconditional love....But doesn't such love involve a c c e p t i n g and r e c o g n i s i n g the good qualities in the ones we love? This IS an imperfect world...and we are all more or less imperfect human beings, with advantages and dissadvantages, with talents and characteristics to be proud of, but also caring our negative aspects, ones that we have to fight for to overcome, to be better for ourselves and others...
I 've been often labeled a dreamer, a romantic...but I think that this is just part of the truth. Anybody involved in a c t u a l l y doing things is not a mere dreamer. And there is nothing more fullfiling than doing things with love. Attention! I do not say doing things WE love...it is almost impossible throughout our lives to engage into doing ONLY things that we love...we should be very happy if we manage to reach such a level slowly...day by day.
So , what I want to say and point out is: doing things WITH love is what matters. That, translated in to everyday, non - dreamer language, means doing things with awareness, with care, getting really personally involved wether this is having a conversation, reading a book, doing the laundry, exercising, taking a walk, interacting with children, cleaning, going to our jobs ( even the ones we don't really like at a given point in our lives!)....everything!
I also believe that c r e a t i v i t y , in every of its possible expressions, is also a form of love. And lately, I 've been meeting so many creative people, that love their lives and love to live! It is so wonderful! If all could DO just a little bit for their dreams to come true, for the world to become better, if we can find the strength to transform our w o r d s into a c t i o n s ...how much could be achieved!
To reach to a closure, let me share with you, that acceptance is a very basic notion in my life. For reasons unknown, I 've been deprived of it severely as I was growing up - eventhough my parents were the best that they could be. So, it means so much to me, to find out that what I do and who I am is accepted and very often lovely received and welcome....by all, wonderful YOU. Thank you from the deep bottom of my heart. And of course, thank you Eva for having the Penthouse and me in your blog "Otis & Frank" and for the lovely , sweetest comments. You are the inspiration for me writing these words here!
And since this is going to be a very busy week, it's time that I go and wish you all:H a p p y M o n d a y and the H a p p i e s t A u t u m n of all...to all !
H a p p y F r i d a y !
...getting childish around the Penthouse....tuning in the mood to hosting the 1st Art Classes in English seminar in the upcoming days...excited!....little people running around this tiny house...getting crafty...smiling....laughing....making a (hopefully not that much of a !) mess....H a p p y F r i d a y to all :-)
