Dear friends, I really hope that the weather is good for you (wherever you are) and that you'll get to celebrate Easter on a Sunshine day. As for us, we are under 10 cm of snow :))) Never mind, this is bound to be the last snow of the season - and the optimist in me still thinks the snowflakes and the white roofs are beautiful!
Inside, everything stands still. I was much too quick to proclaim the re-birth of nature. Thank God for the beautiful flowers, they help me put on a smiling face each morning. And since winter is back and it looks like we are light-years away from the next summer, I just made a snowflake shape out of origami paper boats!
Looking around my little home from certain angles, it surely looks like a winter retreat. The big pillows are still stacked next to the teapot, the reindeer coasters (a Swedish gift from my mom) are more beautiful than ever and we use tea lights on the coffee table.
And I just can't finish this post without another look at the stunning orchids, so beautiful and majestic in their simplicity. They bloomed again a couple of weeks ago and I can't seem to get enough of them. I hope you all have a great week and that your homes already receive plenty of sunshine!
Love the photos! Very lovely..
ReplyDeleteI love how bright, colourful and beautiful your home is. Happy Spring!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet Anne, I cant wait to celebrate Spring in all its glory (and tulips and daffodils)!
DeleteYour orchid really is gorgeous! For a snowy week, your pace looks so bright and inviting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yelle :)
DeleteYour orchid is stunning. I love the flower made out of origami. Have a great day! Thanks for visiting me. I always enjoy hearing from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patty, it's a pleasure to stop by your blog every time :)
DeleteI really enjoy watching your photos of home! So inspiring! <3
ReplyDeletewe are freezing over here! as soonest as this cold wave passes by, we will be wearing short sleeves, I guess, there will be no spring at all :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I love your home, but you already know that :D
:))
DeleteOh, sweet Ana, what happened to the 4 seasons we had when we were kids?! Like I say to my mom, every year we get 2 weeks of spirng - we jump from cold winter directly into crazy hot summer!
Hi Meeha! Don't feel bad we got snow too but like you I still think it's pretty:) Right now I'm watching the robins play and hunt for food in it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchid, you must feel so good about growing it, it looks great your room!
Thank you so much, I am feeding a pigeon family who lives right next to my kitchen window :))
DeleteI can`t wait for the Spring too and your place is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove those prints and the giant apple! I hear ya girl...we are still under snow here! In feet!! Soon it will be gone and we will be complaining about mud and goo.
ReplyDeleteI feel you, Janel, in about a month we'll all complain about the weather being much too hot :)))
DeleteOh Meeha! I could use a bit of your cold wind here (just a bit though)
ReplyDeleteMy ass is melting here in Mexico! On Sunday I got a heavy sunburn in my shoulders just from taking a walk (ok,it was a long walk but common!!) Currently I can't even put my handbag on my shoulders cause it hurts! We should make a mix of our weathers...it'll be so fine! Love, from this part of the world :) Hope you get some sunshine soon!
Andrea, fist of all thanks a million for visiting, you are very dear to me! Second, you sound just like me last summer when I couldn't even move my arms from too much sun - so I feel for you...
DeleteHi Meeha !I love how bright, colourful and beautiful your home is.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks springy and cheerful....bright and colorful...I don't have a gut to buy orchids, I don't think I will be able to keep them alive;)
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of orchids! After they loose all the flowers, cut down the rod and put the plant in a dry and dark place, water scarcely. It will grow a new rod in about 6 months :)
DeleteI think your origami snowflake is already foreseeing spring, as it's very colourful! Spring seems to be very late everywhere this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet words, Magali! Yes, I got feedbck from different corners of the world and it's unusually cold everywhere.
Deleteeven with all the snow your home still has such a bright cheeriness to it. but i hope for you spring comes soon, as i can't wait to see more of your beautiful flower pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine, from the past years experience we'll just skip spring and jump directly from winter to summer :))
DeleteYour photos are beautiful, I wish you an early spring!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Vicky
When is the Easter for you? Because ours is after a month or so and in this case there is enough time for warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteWe are orthodox Christians in Romania, just like in Greece, we celebrate on the 5th of May. Hopefully the weather will be warm by then!
DeleteI adooore your Ikea retro 70s home!
ReplyDeleteSashka, you don't know how happy you made me, thank you! Retro 70's home is the best compliment for me (even if now I think my house is too mixed-up and no 70's vibe in it, anymore).
Deletei always have such a fantastic time when i come round your blog. just love your home photos to bits
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandy, you always know how to make me smile with just a few words <3
DeleteYour blog is always a joy to visit :) And I never tire of looking at your orchids - keep the pictures coming :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Stephanie
Thank you so much, Stephanie! To tell you the truth, I would post flower pictures on my blog every day (but I restrain myself, because I try to share useful things for other people like me).
DeleteMy dear, the snow falls here too. It's very cold outside, as it seems January and not the end of March.
ReplyDeleteYour home looks great, I also love to try changing the objects and decoration as it seems to have always something new at home :)
A big hug for you!
Snow in sunny Italy, ouch! I hope you'll have much better weather to celebrate Easter!
DeleteOh, we just had a giant snow storm too! I really can't wait for some spring weather. I hope it comes soon.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that funky apple sculpture. It is so unexpected and fun. :)
I love your flowers and your house. The sun always shines in your home!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Serena - actually I can only take photos when there is plenty of sunshine, so now we are expecting 10 rainy days and I'm not happy about it...
