H a p p y   F r i d a y !

This is being indeed such a  s w e e t   N o v e m b e r

while work & our own home project* are keeping me pleasantly busy

&

somewhere in between almost daily walks to the woods & lakes nearby,

other times alone, others with company

or with a precious companion,

the dog of dear friends & neighbors

who generously have simply allowed

love & bonding to evolve between their beloved fury friend & myself,

baptizing our relationship

as me being his godmother

{ funny how our names match : Iro + Roy }

I wanted to wish you all a beautiful,  m a g i c  Friday & weekend ahead.

* I promised to share the process & results of our make over in  t h i s  post

and I've been enthusiastically working on that!

P a t i e n c e  my friends... it's a virtue after all ; )

These few words accompanying the picture above were put together last night,

while listening to a heartwarming collection

of female Jazz music, chosen by my amazing man...

The picture was taken already more than a week ago

with Roy by my side.

He waves hello to you, too!

He loves watching the duck action

in "our " lakes,

A rather large family of ducks, plus a pair of swans, which are still here and will only seek

warmer places any time soon...

~ sunshine in my soul

hello :)

happy Saturday!

....missed posting yesterday as it was a busy one...

...but have just made some time 

in order to share some recent shots that bring sunshine in my soul

&

hopefully to yours, too!

...today I'm colouring my mood in sunshiny yellow & different shades of blue...

...to demonstrate this, a little collage was put together..

...what do you think?...doesn't it lift your mood?

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

{top right} don't you want to set of for a flea market diving into piles of vintage finds, 

much like {this awesome pitcher}?

{bottom right} or take out this sewing machine of yours & create even half the awesomeness Miss Tiff does with Miss Ethel, her loyal sewing companion - mashine?

{bottom left} how about sitting by the sea, by the river, under a tree at a park near you,

or at your veranda playing with water colours much like Ez did?

{top left} and last but not least simply enjoy a day with your family, your lovely pet included if you have one?..much like MissVivi, 

one my ever favourite virtual doggi friends whose ability to pose, 

the strong connection she has with her pawrent {as she likes to refer to her human mum & dad}

& 

 the happiness she lives in, 

always make a visit in her photo stream a delight and touching experience!

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

...those who know me just a little tiny bit are familiar with the huge love I feel for dogs

....not just the ones that live with me 

{they currently don't, as Bianca & Grace are taking a rest in dog heaven}

but all the dogs of the world...

those of friends and of others I might not know....

and especially these adorable stray ones...

like {this} here

& 

this little guy below, who lives under a tree close to Apart44

and whom I regularly visit...

what a smart young fellow he is!

....he seems to already recognise the sound of my little car's engine and approach happily wagging his tail, waiting impatiently for me to come out...

pretty photogenic he is right? ; )

have a great Saturday everyone!

off I go for a day of jobs & friends & a little taste of the sea....
