One of the things I love doing here in Crete is having long walks with my kids. With my princess walking next to me and the prince on his "babay car". Still I love this and my town has many beautiful places to visit. But when the sun is going down, the most favorite place to visit is the Yaght Port...the colors are amazing, the sounds are great, and the sun light is really wonderful. A casual but still elegant outfit for this occasion is just perfect. I do enjoy combining monochrome cloths with tribal accesories that are having all the above colors...actually this kind of the outfit is the most usual for me and one of my favorites. Just remember not to have more than three main colors.
We are already in the middle of August and so far this Summer is amazing! Being in my favorite town in Crete with my kids is something great, since we spend too much time in the beach, for walks and for having fun with my dearest friends. And my hubby just completed our "team"! So my mood for this week? Coffee, good company, relax by the sea!
This was a fun necklace craft! I Really enjoy it, because it was actually a challenge! Yeap...I wanted to create something unique, uncommon and very special for a great friend. A friend that is really minimal, loves white and gold and coral and mint (ok...I didn't use mint) and she adores crafts with animal toys!
Αυτή η κατασκευή κοσμηματος ήταν πολλή διασκεδαστική γιατί στην πραγματικότητα ήταν μία πρόκληση! Ω ναι... ήθελα να φτιάξω κάτι πραγματικά μοναδικό, ασυνήθιστο και τέλειο για μία αγαπημένη φίλη. Μία φίλη που είναι απλός τύπος, αγαπάει το λευκό και το χρυσό και το κοραλί και το φυστικί (οκ...φυστικί δε χρησιμοποίησα) και λατρεύει τα παιχνιδια ζωάκια!
Hello my friends!!!
I know I have been lost in the space (or should I say in Crete) but to be honest I do not want to spend that much time for blogging instead of enjoying Summer. Anyway, since I had a few friends that they loved my handmade leather sandals, I visited a small village near my town to check a workshop with handmade leather sandals. The village is Lakonia and I have to admit that every single village in Crete hides a surprise!
Ξέρω ότι εχω χαθεί στο διάστημα (ή μήπως να πω στην Κρητη) αλλά για να είμαι ειλικρινής δε θέλω να ξοδεύω χρόνο να ασχολούμαι με το μπλογκ αντί να απόλαμβάνω το Καλοκαίρι. Τελος πάντως, μια και μερικές καλές μου φίλες αγάπησαν τα δερμάτινα μου σανδάλια, επισκέφτηκα ένα μικρό χωριο κοντά στην πόλη μου για να βρω έ\να εργαστήριο δερμάτινων σανδαλιών. Το χωριό ονομαζεται Έξω Λακώνια και πρέπει να παραδεχτώ ότι κάθε μικρό χωριό της Κρήτης κρύβει εκπλήξεις!
I just wanted to share this moment with you...tasting my Orange Chardonnay Wine (yeap just discovered this wine and it is delicious!!!) in front of Spinalonga island this beautiful and pieceful afternoon. Still it's hot but I love this time of the day and I do enjoy it when the weather is calm without wind. So have a glass of your favorite wine or juice or drink and relax! Life is full of simple but beautiful moments!
What I love since ever is to walk around while the sun is going to sleep...as my daughter says. I think is the best time of the day to relax, to summarize up what you have done the spacific day and to organize the next day.
Πάντα λάτρευα να περπατω εδω και εκεί την ώρα που ο ήλιος ετοιμάζεται για ύπνο...όπως λέει και η κόρη μου. Πιστεύω ότι είναι η καλύτερη ώρα της ημέρας για να ηρεμίσεις, να αναλογιστεις την ημέρα που μόλις τελειωνει και να οργανώσεις την επόμενη.
