let’s celebrate the love among us!

i have confessed here, i’m not that much of a romantic lady! i just love the simple things, when least expected. i don’t go crazy over flowers, but i do love when mr twiggs brings some pastries when i’m not expecting those. i don’t go over the moon with “i love you notes”, but i do love when mr twiggs writes that he loved with great enthusiasm my photos, asks for my last post on the blog or gets involved with what i do. i don’t expect that living together will be easy, but my heart does smile inside when i’m angry at something and mr twiggs makes me laugh about some other thing, without paying much attention to what i was angry about. i surely don’t go ahead and plan anything for valentine’s day, because this day is filled with commercial intentions, instead of the real stuff… love. love is all around and sometimes we don’t see it throughout our days. and for whatever reason that is, sometimes we need a reality check to realize that our life is blessed though all the minor issues we have every day. i am lucky to have this man by my side and that is all i wish to celebrate today. that and all the love that we share and we show with all our friends and family. because that is all that matters.

this was found on a street in lisbon and how could i resist something this sweet and out of the blue? i love these findings! and now let’s end our day and do something out of the blue as well… and if not today, do it tomorrow, will be less expected, for sure! let’s celebrate the love among us!

starting to feel that way again

yes my friends, i must confess that someday i will be coming here and saying that i’m tired of winter. and the rain hasn’t even arrived yet! i told you that i might feel this way in january or february. but actually i usually feel like this because of the rain. i like the rain, i like when it’s pouring rain outside and i can either watch it from the window or just listen to it, holding a cup of hot tea on one hand and a cookie on the other. i like the coziness of a warm home during winter. i like blankets and throws and pillows. i like to cuddle inside! but there is always this time of the year, in which i feel i’ve had enough of all this and i start to crave for warmer days. it’s not even sun shining days, because in lisbon that’s actually pretty common (yes, lucky us!), but the warmer part. those days in which you just put on something light to wear and you feel good. there is no need for coats, nor boots. i want those days again! and of course, it’s a sign that i’ve been finding myself lately going through my summer photo archives. and i love when i find old not-edited photos and spend time editing them and bringing them back to life. here are some of the last ones i’ve worked on!

and about this weekend:

+ not just this weekend, but since the year has started, i went back for some flickr love, so every day i enjoy flickr while i have my breakfast (i’m loving to catch up on my flickr friends and finding new ones to feel inspired by)!

+ yesterday i spent the whole day cleaning the kitchen from clutter from the last 4 years. i smile now when i walk into my kitchen. it made me feel good again about my small home and pretty inspired to change things a bit around (i used to love that, somehow i stopped doing that in the last months)!

+ related to the previous topic, i registered on ikea family live and uploaded some images of my home!

+ after managing to get my reader back to zero items to read, i searched for new design blogs to look for new ideas for small homes! i might blog more about interior design here, just because i need to keep myself inspired!

+ i’ve decided to change a few things on the blog, and asides of posting more of these kind of posts, i will also start answering your comments on the blog, instead of replying to your personal email (i started thinking about all those that come here and read your comments, and have no idea of what i answered back, so it might be nice for others to see it as well)!

enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends!

smile & live the life you have imagined!

some findings from yesterday’s walk. i hope you’re having one delicious saturday! the sun is shinning here and it feels good to open up the windows and letting the fresh air inside!

today i’ll be here…

wandering around small flowers, taking a walk in the woods, with a small photo session included. today is very cold and colder temperatures are expected, but i believe that my fellow friends in germany like iro or nadine would think that this cold is kind of warm for what they’re used to. flowers are blooming on the trees, everything is green, the sun is shining and i think that as a photographer and a creative person, i should include on my week, a day in which i’ll be outside, just taking pictures or taking a walk. i need to be outside and i miss being outside. and maybe thursdays will be perfect for that! enjoy your day as much as you can, my lovelies… i’ll be away doing the same!
