So far Christmas time has been joyful and fun. Family gatherings, a little bit of shopping and a lot of food involved! Ahead of us we have the celebrations of the New Year and A Whole New Start! Time laps seem faster as the years go by, but we need to slow down our pace, at least this time of (every) year and reflect our actions, thoughts and visions. It's the perfect time to relate with our past, keep what is important to oneself and hope for a better future!!!
I hope the following days have the cozyness of the soft white blanket and the allurement of these tiny winter blooms, for everyone... Two days full of glorious moments to boost our energy and refill our inner strength because Christmas is only a tad away!IMAGE FINELY INC
My mother taught me to appreciate the beauty in old pieces. Her countless visits in antiques stores gained her a few memorable pieces like this delicate vase of handdrawn porcelain. I wish one day to have, around my house, such lovely items to surround me!
I don't know about you but, I'm not easily impressed with sweet recipes. When it comes to sweet I satisfy myself with the old good way; a generous bite of chocolate(any kind) and that's about it. But when I came across this recipe while reading desire to inspire blog something inside urge me to try it! And...heaven help me!!! If you were ever to cook once in your life or if this is something you do everyday, rush over to Not quite Nigella and get the recipe. The best thing I've read in cooking recently!
While checking one of my favorite blogs, Desire to Inspire, I realized that I'm included in their list of holiday reading guide! Yeah and double yeah! It's a wonderful surprise and an honor for me! I welcome every reader coming from this amazing duo who delivers some of the most thriving and original content you can find on the web!
It's getting late and I was just browsing beautiful pictures up on the site of living etc. It's a cozy friday night and I'm staying in. I have that feeling that I feel ready to go to bed but I keep prolonging that moment in favor of some more inspiration and lust over fine interiors... I look at the pictures and my head spins a thousand times measuring, wanting and dreaming! This is my moment to relax and my way of deflating the pressure of the week. Precious clusters of time giving another meaning to my existence...

Macaroni pie (serves 10), a traditional recipe that my grandma used to make and now my mom does and hopefully one day I will! This time I only took the pictures and enjoyed its full taste with the rest of the family! 250gr of pasta made from durum wheat semolina
2 cups fresh milk
7 whole eggs
2 cups feta cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup parmezan cheese
1 pack of french pastry
2 spoons of unsalted butter
3 spoons of virgin olive oil and fresh gound pepper - execution: Bring to boil a large pot of water and add the pasta with a pinch of salt. Let it shimmer for 13 minutes and drain afterwards under cold water. In a large bowl beat the eggs for a minute or so.Add the pasta and crumble all different kinds of cheese on top. Continue by adding the milk and the olive oil with one spoon of the butter. Don't forget to add pepper to suit your taste! Mix all the ingredients together. Preheat the oven at 250C. Use a big round baking tray and cover all surfaces with the remaining butter. Lay one sheet of french pastry on the bottom of the tray and make sure that the edges of the sheet fold on the sides up. Transfer the mixture on the tray and cover with the other sheet by overlapping the edges. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden at 250C and then cover with some baking sheet and let it bake for another 20 minutes at 180C. Use a fork to pinch, when ready the fork will come out dry!

I haven't featured before an all masculine abode but I must confess I was drawn to it from the moment I saw it on Lonny magazine. Something about the rich dark tones and the sophistication it emits so generously, made me want to own this place! Anthony has not only use some of my all time essential pieces like the Ikea Lack self and the Parsons desk but he illustrated their clean, sleek lines in such a beautiful way! The place is designed by a man for a man but the warmth of orange splashes and the brown/wood notes introduce a level of versality into the space. Who can imagine that we talk of a teeny tiny place! For more photos and the actual article you should visit the site of Lonny magazine! The talented team behind the scene has created yet again an another issue full of inspiring interiors and striking visuals for us all to enjoy!
