early good mornings everyone!
... almost 2 months ago a post was written here about Morning Sun...
This is a quite spontaneous post put together
on the spot last evening while waiting to be picked up for dinner
and worked on also the last hour or so.
I thought that it would be a lovely treat for these pages,
its most devoted and patient readers in the world,
but also for its author and creator
who has been rather missing
her work here.
So: Bonjour amour!
Amour of all kinds but mostly love for
the pretty,
the stylish,
the inspiring,
the creative,
the genuine,
the inspired,
the loved
&
the loving ones...
and the patient ones,
the brave ones,
the kind ones,
the sincere ones,
the forgiving,
the warm hearted,
the understanding,
the ones who have known pain and defeat
but never seize to believe in themselves,
in goodness,
in "Das Gutes den Menchen"...
{so said a mostly lovely old lady I met last week, ready to set off on her bicycle
bringing home flowers, while mine was parked next to hers,
carrying also a bouquet of white lilies ready to bloom,
from our local grocery store.
She noticed I was considering leaving them
in my bicycle's basket unattended,
when going in to that other shop to purchase some more of the
lavender that I have been planting in our veranda.
I left, stood for a sec, looked back
and then thought,
"oh come on, who's gonna steal flowers!"
and even if someone does,
good for them!
They'll bring flowers home.
But actually no person who
has the sensitivity to bring flowers home would ever steal some other
person's flowers.
When personally asked,
I would gladly offer them to someone.
Making a short story, that only lasted but for a few minutes,
shorter,
the slim, white haired lady looked at my flowers,
looked at me
and with the kindest eyes
and an encouraging, wise voice said:
believe in people's goodness...
"Glauben Sie in das Gutes den Menchen"
German language can be so magnificent,
so descriptive, so strong...
poetic, too.
But in that case it didn't matter at all which language this lady was speaking.
She was speaking from experience,
from life experience where the mind and the heart
are one.
I felt blessed to have crossed her way
and
was instantly in love... how could I not!
went in...
purchased some more baby lavender for
almost 50 cents each
and returned to my bicycle
where the lilies were also awaiting
to get some water and a place to rest.
Off I was cycling through the pretty neighborhoods
and the woods on my way back home,
feeling as happy as if I had won the lottery}
well, after having written this parenthesis,
I start feeling that this could actually be the essence of this post
but anyway, let's return to our tangible, materialistic
world and its pleasures
; )
..............................
I'm sharing here today some of the inspiration gathered recently while on Pinterest,
where one can virtually meet with amazingly talented people,
like designers, stylists, you, and you... and you...
and me (since I'm... shamelessly bragging about myself,
come and follow my inspiration boards!)
people with impeccable and quite personal taste,
people who live to experience this life
in a beautiful way.
So...
a pair of black skinnies, or else black, tight, jean like trousers.
I love this styling cause it can be worn comfortably from morning to night,
discretely drawing attention, while feeling simply fabulous
in the most elegant and natural of ways.
brilliant Holly Becker, I familiarized myself with this
all featuring mind blowing (to me) patterns.

3. Then, thanks to the pinterest suggestions in my mailbox, I was lead to follow
Boom! You know the feeling when someone's etiquette style has so much in common with yours,
that her choices are just a perfect illustration of your craziest ever images?
Yes, indeed.
where a nice family lives in and about which I recently read about
in one of the few German design magazines that usually come to our home.
What a lovely marriage between modern & retro,
white and wooden details,
simplicity but not too much minimalism,
a marriage of love with more love for
all the essence that home carries!
4. And as lately there is a lot of baby action going on,
baby &children spaces are occupying some
of my creative projects.
h&m's home-line is always a great source to find
adorably affordable items.
Much like Mr Fox in his pointy shoes,
ready to fly while dancing
and a few other
cute things which you can find
on my pinterest board.
Hope you' ve all been well!
Thank's so much for coming here, reading & sharing.
till next time
sweet smiles + kind regards
yours truly
P.S: having mentioned in the post's beginning the Sun,
there is no doubt sun, sunshine and natural light are so important for our well being,
an issue that has been concerning me lately
Would you mind sharing your opinion in the comments section?
If your current financial state was such that finding a place to live in
featuring all the characteristics you wish
was a rather complicated matter,
what would you be willing to sacrifice:
1. some square meters.
2. the amount of natural light that shines inside your living areas.
I tend to believe that people who look for natural light in their living environments
will be also concerned in leading an enlightened life.
What do you think?
There is scientific evidence that natural light enhances health, mood,
cognitive abilities and creativity,
obviously supporting people's desire to live a joyful, successful
fulfilling and happy life,
while living in dark places which get very little or a poorly
amount and quality of natural light
is correlated with exactly the opposite.
I hold the opinion that some notions cannot be measured the usual way.
Therefore,
I'd avoid choosing a large place over a smaller place,
having to compromise the amount of natural light
that happily strolls inside my home dwelling, my abode.
In German they say, "Klein aber fein"...
"Small but nice"
Thanks to good interior design planning,
even small places have such many possibilities,
resulting in clever solutions and a multiplication
of the actual square meters.
In case you cannot on your own,
do get yourself a capable and experienced interior designer handy
and set of to choose the sunniest place you could ever get!
Remember that size and money isn't ALL that matters.
Money is a valuable asset, useful in clever hands and minds.
