~ secrets & spices ~

you know the times when words just don't come the right way my dears?

I think this might be the case since a couple of days here...

yes, that must be it.

due to rather intense emotions...

                                                         from both sides of the spectrum...

                                                           the bright ones & the dark ones...

and then a little tireness due to this silly flu & cold together that came partying in my organism

without my persmission,

then again me being overanxious to get over it

in order to proceed with works at the house,

only to be finding me resting in bed again the next day

uff and uff again.

as a result, it seems like too much of time

has passed since I've been meaning to come here and thank you very dearly for 

warmely accepting my invitation 

&

 having shared a mostly wonderful {cup of comfort} with me.

what an experience!

I really enjoyed connecting  with you

both here & over at my private Fb account

what's really great is that this post & the interaction with you

has served in establishing a clear connection in my thoughts

about a factor very critical in

experiencing Love & Happiness in our relationships and living environments:

well, can you guess what it is?

bingo!

C o m f o r t 

no matter what

no matter who

no matter how

I cannot think of any environment & relationship being

perceived & felt as happy, healthy & lovingly,

unless there is plenty of comfort in them.

you know...

something that begins from acceptance

passes in between warmth & reaches to support & growth

this is what good interior design & functional relationships of any kind are to me:

Comfort. Plenty of it.

mmm... it seems that coming here and starting to type also serves as

a comfort to me

& as I see, words are no longer difficult in any way of being spelled out.

perhaps, cause I also feel very happy for the fact that some of you I really have warm feelings for

 are reading these lines.

perhaps...

o.k. this is the time that you and I agree that enough has been said...

right? ; )

pictures please & to the point!

So, on the opening picture of the post,

you can take a glimpse of the totally unfinished part of our bedroom,

aka the 3.10m x 4.60m {height by width} wall behind our bed, which is patiently awaiting

 a few hands of sanding and then to be dressed

in nice & stylish wallpaper.

till then, you can see how I spent some time taking breaks while busy in the house,

{had been dealing with folding laundry at that time}

away from the main pc, which is a big temptation due to all the creative work that can be done there

& only but temporarily logging in selectively to some of my favorite on line places

using precious mrs netbook

... the lights have been shining on Pinterest these past days.

no doubts for that ; )

and then, there is a little peek into our temporarily arranged

cooking corner, that is for those of you who haven't already seen it 

on {flickr}, {pinterest} & {fb}

Love is... the best spice

would you agree with me?

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

sorry for the big leap without a word,

I hope you haven't missed me ; )

above is a little collage I prepared to serve as an icon for 

{domestic stories Fb page}

not much of written information,

but just some favorite moments in interior design, crafting, styling & photography,

including recent shots of our new home.

All unitied under my favorite umbrella:

S t y l e

well what do you think?

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

the time has come to say good night cause it's already late for us here...

and I really can't go without sharing with you

a few lines written to describe the picture below,

which turned out to be 

a little, mighty poem,

I'll dare to post here:

S e c r e t s 

They say the night & darkness hold one thousand secrets...

 I find life's secrets hidden in light...

Thousand little miracles masked in eternal white...

Patiently awaiting for the brave ones to unfold them.

and you dear ones?

do you know your secrets?

.... have a beautiful night... or day

and see you quite soon  ~
