now, bring me that horizon!

Ah, how the charm of a pirate never fails ;) ! 

Yo ho, yo ho. A pirate's life for me. 

La festa dei Pirati, Vernazza.

these are the special times

In these moments, moments of our lives

All the world is ours

And this world is so right

You and I sharing this time together

Sharing the same dream

As the time goes by we will find

These are the special times

Times we'll remember

These are the precious times

The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever

These are the sweetest times

These times together

And through it all, one thing will always be true

The special times are the times I share with you

-These are the special times, Celine Dion

I love christmas because...

...I think the christmas really is the best season of the year, and goes by too fast

...time spent with friends and family is un-replaceable

...it is a time to slow down

...i like giving a gift or two to the ones I care about, caring is sharing, right?

...it gives light to the cold and dark winter

...it brings back so many good memories

...of the tickling feeling it brings

...of the good spirits all around

...of the whispering and curious secrets

...of the late evenings spent in candlelight with glögi

...of the early crisp mornings full of expectations

...of the thoughts sent to loved ones, no matter near or far away

and these are just a few...

Hopefully you who read this also find joy in this magical time of the year!

Saturday night avec Sis

Quality time with the family during the weekend, what could be better? Had a dinner at my Mom's place, then movie night at home with my Sis and chocolate fondue. 

We had a bit of trouble choosing what to rent when we mere at the rental...so we decided to take a safe road and rented a few goodies. We have seen them all before, but these are such feelgood movies! You know the kinds you can watch many times and they never get old and they always leave you a great feeling. So, the chosen ones this time were Step Up, Flashdance and Dear John. Some other great ones are Footloose, Dirty Dancing (both)Love before sunrise and Love before sunset, Cocktail and 500 days of Summer. 

Which are your favorite/comfort movies? 

Have a good weekend everyone! 

Day 2/15

So, I recently found myself in a situation I haven't been before. I have recently started a new work but I am still working at my old work place as well. And therefore it of course would be my responsibility to look after when my days off are... however, without even really noticing until I looked at my calendar the other day, I have work 15 days in a row... yawn.

Going on day 2 and I am already tired :D

But I'm looking forward to getting paid ;). And no complaining, I'm happy to have a job (or 2).

Our guest star at home this week

So this cutie pants, also known as Elvis (the dog), is staying with us this week while his real family is enjoying the Turkish sun. It is with great pleasure we have opened our home for this little fellow :)

(Better pics than the photo booth ones will follow when I find my camera)

Sunday morning!

 

 Maroon 5 - Sunday morning

Waking up early during the weekend is one of the best things. Then when you see the sunshine and feel a cool breeze coming in and you are tucked under the blanket where it's warm it gets better. And when you have a lovely someone who makes fantastic breakfast and coffee, and even buys a Starbucks latte for me when he went to the store to get what we need for today, it just can't get a whole lot better.

Here's my drinks, the food part I ate as soon at is was served :)

New winds

So here's what's new lately: new job, new age (24!, crazy.), some new things for my wardrobe, new paint on the walls, new season, finally, new hobby...

Things that found a way into my wardrobe after a Tallinn trip in stormy weather and birthday celbrations:

These fabulous new brown boots (Ten Points), that I am SO totally in love with.

This shirt from Stradivarius, with the print "Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity".  I found this simple phrase to be very spot on when it comes to how my mind works.

And a few other things that I might show another time. 

I am already waiting for the weekend though. I'm gonna spend it doing the homework for my new hobby; a jewelery-making class, enjoying the new season's crisp weather and candle lit evenings and painting at home.

Now we're gonna watch the newest episode of NCIS that we've been dying to see for ages, then I'm off to bed so that I'm ready for my 3rd day at my new work (that I happen to enjoy VERY much) tomorrow  :).

 

FOOD

I came home from work today, hungry and tired. Only to find an almost empty fridge. So, I called my mom and am now going to eat with her (and to help her with the grocery shopping) :)

Long time coming...

So here are, pictures of our new couch that we grew to love very fast. And also a few other shots from our home...

My favorite candle holders that I got from my great aunt, that she brought home from a trip to Morocco when she was young.  

 Home sweet home.

Theater outfit and after theater snack

So, today i went to a theater, or actually a musical (Katri Helena), with my good friend. It was so refreshing. Every time I go I think how sad it is I do it so rarely, 'cause I really enjoy it. 

 So here my outfit for today:

 

My favorite light pink jeans - Promod

Black shirt - Pull and Bear?

Flower - Only

 

And then a tired me arrived at home later than my normal bed-time, almost, and sat down on the couch with a little evening snack and a Tea. THE tea, Indian Spice from Lipton. Has been my favorite for a few years now. And now when autumn is here again I get to enjoy large cups of it, feature by candles and dark nights.
