~* Sunny Provence, here we come! *~

Posted in EverydayPoesie, Home, tagged Holiday in France, holiday in Provence on April 7, 2012| 5 Comments »

My two sons and I are off for an adventure that is a holiday in the South of France. Without any plans, schedules or engagements.

We intend to just… be. In the sun.

This may be the first time in history that my bags are packed before the taxi is waiting outside… And this time, even all our passports are still valid… Strange and very new for me. But in a nice way.

Soooo… I’m peacefully preparing myself, letting go of all the stress and rush even before heading for the airport. Mmmmm… Sweet.

I even had the time to choose the earrings in which to travel! Very unusual luxury. These French antique market finds are my all-time favorites.

Wish us Bon voyage dear friends! I’ll keep you posted on all the adventure that comes our way…

~* Stumbling along *~

Posted in EverydayPoesie, Home, tagged aforismi, aphorism, Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City, Viktor Egelund on March 29, 2012| 1 Comment »

My kids have been sick all week which means that I haven’t slept, had a rational thought or conversation, let alone set a foot outside… in a week.

So I turn to my favorite wise guy Viktor Egelund to make some sense of this chaos called life.

As usual, he’s there for me:

“The chance of anything is always 50-50. Either it happens or it doesn’t.

Just ignore statistics from now on.”

V.E.

As life at the moment feels more like a stumble than a stride, I find Viktor’s words oddly comforting.

If Carrie could get up after falling flat on her face… So can I.

And maybe. Just maybe next time the odds will be in my favor.

~* dancing shoes wanted *~

“Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances.”, says Maya Angelou.

I was thinking about this wisdom today as I took my son to school. And indeed. I’d never noticed it, but the leaves were dancing. Wind too. Little children definitely had rhythm and dance to their steps as they were hopping along.

The only thing that seemed to have lost all flow and rhythm was… me.

I was just slouching along, taking care of stuff that has to be taken care of. How boring. How tragically adult.

So now I’m off for a little walk on the sunshine. Let’s see if that would help me find some spring to my steps…

~* Serenaded *~

Posted in EverydayPoesie, Home on March 24, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Today has been a real full-day serenade… It seems like the whole world has woken up to realize that it’s my birthday.

I’ve been spoiled, spoiled and yet again spoiled.

I’ll show you some photos of my day a little bit later – at the moment I’m still too busy living it…♥.

PS. So… My day started by Happy Birthday songs and breakfast in bed, continued by surprises such as theatre and restaurant, and a shower of sweetest gifts ever.

… And ended in the bath, surrounded by candle light.

At the end of my beautiful day the only problem in the world remaining was a rhetoric question:

“Is it real or imaginary, that champagne actually tastes better in a bath?”.

♥♥♥ Thank you, Thank you, Thank ♥♥♥

Who gets to have a chapter in your little red book?

Are there people who are soooooo good to you that they’re present on all your pages?

These are questions I’ve been musing over today…

~ a Peter Mayle summer ~

So it’s been confirmed. Me and the kids will spend the full summer in Provence. I’ll keep you posted on life over there, real Peter Mayle fashion.

Here’s a little purchase I’ve made for this trip, especially. Something light, comfy, slightly transparent but not toooo much so… MmmmmmmmMmm. By the lovely Oona Elena ♥♥♥. Perfect for a summer in the sun. And my lovely ladies Noora and Hanski might come and spend some time with us.

Poolside lounging, bronzing and total relaxation is in the cards with Noora… We’ve already planned to have a real girlie holiday, going to the gym, sleeping in the same bed in our room upstairs and talking girl stuff all night….

Hanski, I’ll take all around the area by Mamie’s little white car, as it’ll be her first time in the South. Touring and discovering little picturesque villages, lovely restaurants and the nicest places outside the tourist circles…

The kids will be totally relaxed as usual there, and play in Mamie’s pool all day long… There’s also pony rides and tennis lessons in the cards this time.

Ah, it’ll be so good.

~* Soul of Maïa *~

Posted in EverydayPoesie, Home, tagged kansainvälinen naistenpäivä, lahja, naistenpäivä, pop up Marie, Soul of Maïa on March 15, 2012| 2 Comments »

I bought myself a little something last week, in the honor of the International Women’s Day…

A sweet necklace of silverbeads and semi-precious stones by the Soul of Maïa.

These mistysoft stones are Jaspises; the shade is called Lotus. Jaspis is supposed to soothe anxiety and distress, as well as strengthen a sense of inner security and peace.

My sons chose the necklace with me, or for me actually. They sure know what they’re doing.

I’ll wear it with this long breezy cotton maxidress in the summertime. I’ve even got flip-flops decorated with Lotus-colored beads somewhere…

And it’ll be perfect with my Everyday Sugar coat and Zara boots as well… Or what say you?

The boys also chose these roses for me:

And here’s a little tip for you.

When your flowers (roses, particularly) start to seem a bit “down”, cut off the rosebuds and place them in a shallow bowl, like I’ve done above, with a drop of water at the bottom.

They’ll bloom still many more days like this, and oftentimes dry beautifully as well…♥.

There are many pretty pieces but these antique earrings are the most beautiful item I spotted:
