New Friends, Welcome!



Pin It

The sweetest things in life are... friends! My new life as a blogger finally let me share my passion for decorating and playing with my little home. But more than that, blogging blessed me with amazing friends from all the corners of the world. Like my sweet, positive and unstoppable creative Ana from Carpe Diem, who passed on to me the Liebster Award. Thank you, Ana, I'm taking the opportunity to invite all my readers to see your cool giant squid pillow and the lovely yellow letters that you've just made this spring!

This award comes with a price. I have to answer Ana's questions below:

1. Do you prefer the region you live in or would you like to move somewhere else? I live in Romania, the country is amazingly beautiful but the climate has radically changed in the last 10 years. I dream of living somewhere warmer, but the truth is that I am really comfortable in my own town, anyway :)
2. Do you live in urban or rural area? What do you prefer? I live in the heart of a big city, I like it very much because I'm close to the theater, the opera, the shops and restaurants and coffee shops that I like. Of course, when summer comes, I start dreaming of retiring 15 km away, in the peaceful country side!
3. Do you live in a house or a flat? What do you prefer? I have a flat, which is fine for my needs. A house would be great, but there's always repairing to be done, to the attic or to the basement and I don't have the energy for that (and no kids, yet).
4. Are you an outdoor type? It depends! On one hand I am very lazy and not sporty at all. On the other hand, when summer starts, you never catch me at home, because I love nature, air, sun and I always want to enjoy the outdoor as much as I can.
5. Mountains or sea, why? The sea, because it is magical. It helps me calm down and listen to myself.
6. Book or TV? A book, definitely! I'm an avid reader, just like my mom. I haven't had a TV for the last 9 years, it's great for my mental health and ear pollution :)
7. Would you like to grow your own food? Yes, please! I am fortunate enough to have a retired father who has his own little vegetable garden and orchard.
8. Poetry or prose? Both, depending on my mood. To share a little secret, all my poetry books are tucked away in my bedroom - I am very selfish and don't wanna even show them to anyone else.
9. Having kids is .... on my To Do list!
10. Cleaning or crafting :)? Ooops. Cleaning (with a little obsession, followed by long periods of indolence) and then crafting until midnight!
11. I plan to ... write a book on how to decorate your first home :D

        The Liebster award goes to...
        Fancy Free Me
        Musings
        Love Making Things
        Vicky's Home
        Dreams Come True
        Cherish Dream Live
        Little Victorian
        Decora Y Adora
        A Few Pretty Things

Congratulations, dear friends! I don't know if you've already received this award, but I'd like to know more about you, so here are my 11 question for you:
1. A good book or a lovely movie?
2. A walk under the sun or a lazy Sunday indoors?
3. Creative chaos or streamlined order?
4. Red or blue?
5. A big splurge or wise savings?
6. Spring or autumn?
7. Pastels or bold colors?
8. Handmade or branded?
9. Salty or sweet?
10. Talking out or just observing?
11. Make-up or all natural?

Three Wooden Hearts Are Better Than One



Pin It

Three wooden hearts are better than one ... and receiving the same award from two wonderful bloggers in 24 hours is even better! It just so happens that at the end of last week I had not one, but two huge surprises. Eva from Fancy Windows and Angelica from Decora Y Adora nominated me for the Dardos Awards! Thank you very, very much, I am overwhelmed and I spent all day making lists of 15 other blogs to whom the award shall pass next. 




So without further ado, this is my list (in alphabetical order):

Phew! That's it, ladies, I admire you so much! Don't forget to post the award image (above) on your blog if you'd like and to pass it on to other 10 or 15 amazing talents!

Sweets For My Sweet


Pin It

It looks like all this talk about meringue has paid off, after all :) And this is just a twisted way of saying "Thank you, sweet Ana from Carpe Diem, for passing over to me the So Sweet Blog Award" even if I don't qualify anymore, with more than 200 followers. But Ana got her pirate hat and stood tall on her charming DIY stool, showing the world that those followers are to be a joy, not an obstacle. So here I am, pinning this to the sidebar, yay!




Let's cut to the chase, I have the pleasure of recommending these wonderful blogs to whom I am passing the So Sweet Blog Award (in alphabetical order):

Big hugs to you, lovely ladies nominated above! All you've got to do is:
1. Put the award on the blog;
2. Thank the blogger who gave you the award - oh, yes, praise me :))))
and 3. Pass the award to 5 other blogs with less than 200 followers who are worth our attention.

PS: You see, Ana, even with over 200 followers, I still got some aces up my sleeve! I hope you love these girls as much as I do, every time I read their inspiring posts :)

My Brightest Secret


As I was saying in my latest 365 post, things have been hectic at work (including on Saturday) and I finished last week with a 16 hr sleep. All this time, the thing that kept me going was the fact that... I had been given the Versatile Blogger award  J
                                                     

Oh, YES! Happy happy joy joy!

Lovely Jutta from Organized LivingSolutions loved my posts and she awarded me The Versatile Blogger, even if I am quite a newbie when it comes to blogging. Thank you, Jutta, it comes as a wonderful surprise that you chose to pass the award to me! I take it as a great compliment, coming from the creative author of the delicate Shell Spoons, the mind-blowing Easter Plates (now this one really blew me off) or the Little Angels and so many other amazing projects. Hugs!
In consequence, I have to share seven things about myself and to nominate 15 blogs I’m passing the Versatile Blogger award to.

Let’s talk about myself:
1.    I’m a LEO. 
2. First, I took Science in college, 12 hrs of Math and Physics every week. Than I shifted and graduated from Law School with honors (and now you can see that I am a Leo, always bragging). And for the last 8 years I’ve been working as a full-time copy writer in an advertising agency.
3.       I bought my first camera ever on the 20th of January 2012, in order to take pics for this blog.
4.       I love words, shoes and optical illusions (in that order, although I’m not sure if I shoud dedicate a separate chapter to shoes…)
5.       I hate milk skin. Arrgh! Even the thought of it upsets my stomach (@#%!?)
6.       I am a manic-depressive, hence the constant changes in my home décor.
7.       I am still in denial about receiving this award (it’s unbelievable, right?!) and I am facing a real challenge in passing it on to 15 other blogs. So without any further delay, I would like to give the award to those of you that I admire:
