~ oh hello stylish Mondays!

oh hello stylish Monday!

   too bad you are finding me covered in dust

 & having only but little time currently to devote to writing & posting in

 my favorite on line journal,

 but I must admit that proceeding with works in our new home,

 is worth all the effort.

 Our technician departed a while ago, having brought with my little help the details 

 of the winter garden floor* to an almost closure.

 {for reference look unfinished part of step between kitchen & winter garden in this post}

 Does it perhaps sound to you that it is taking too long till we have our renovation completed?

 This is exactly what I had been thinking myself till a short while ago, 

 only to realize the actual size of the project we actually undertook

 when my partner & I decided to move to this apartment.

 We are going places my dears {well metaphorically & literally speaking sometimes}

 & 

 it might be that we have been underestimating ourselves.

 Now please, don't get me wrong , as passing to the other extreme of overestimation,

 is not my intention.

 But indeed, this place is taking the most wonderful shape it has ever seen,

 since it was originally designed by its architects & built by its workers.

 We are indeed making a beautiful place to live in out of what used to be a space

 mostly with hidden potential, never though brought forward.

 So, so & yes indeed.

Somewhere here* I' ll have to stop my ramblings put forth in the form of lines

in these pages, and bring myself down to the kitchen,

where after wood being cut all morning,

there is lots of work for Mrs Vacume cleaner & me.

*{update after post completion ~> a few paragraphs later ; )}

Lots of work & a currently very unstylish me doing it ; )

Nothing like the simply perfect outfit seen on the top right of today's collage,

or the darling dress for little girls.

The collage is mostly dedicated to Lines & curves,

after the name of the photo taken by J, him, my partner,

who couldn't have seen this better back in 2008 when we traveled to Barcelona.

Can you really believe the amazing coincidence of this perfectly perfect Vespa

being parked there & the fact that he, unlike me back then,

didn't overpass it,

instead composed one gorgeous scene out of it?

He has this amazing eye & I tend to forget that one of my wishes is to share here more of his photography, carrying the label, JCN Photography,

united with my own sense of style under Project 33,

a project that has long been on Domestic Stories "would love do list".

"Everything in its time" some wise ancestors used to say,

and this time is approaching. 

So dears, off I go & I'm leaving you with one favorite domestic moment

that took place this Saturday in the arms of the Pearl Birches House:

Greek coffee making & drinking, a habit of ours that marks the beginning of Spring season,

here pictured in the company of a star shaped ice cream.

Cannot get enough of the warm afternoon light that shines in the winter garden,

as caught here shining on this favorite teapot.

And you, is there a favorite recent moment you'd like to share?

Has Spring sprung you ways?

I certainly hope so & I'm wishing you a wonderful Monday & week ahead,

being very pleased that despite all works,

am managing to do so as mentioned here yesterday.

c u right here, quite soon!

Thank you for coming along & being such lovely readers :*)
