lovely mornings.

hello!

long time, no blog
i know,
i know!

just wanted to quickly pop in,
& talk about lovely mornings.

mornings when you slip into the coffee shop
bright & early.

when you peek at the pastry window,
choose a lemon & cranberry scone,
watch as the freshly brewed coffee
leaves the pot & rushes to your welcoming cup.

when you sit by the window,
laptop in tow
& take a deep breathe,
knowing that the day will be long,
but for now all you need to know
is the feel of a warm cup, that your fingers surround,
the sweet smell of the scone, as you take the first bite,
& the sound of newspaper pages turning amidst chatter.

when you gaze out of the window,
& you can almost see
autumn packing up,
& winter settling in.

when you start brief errands,
& gleefully check off tasks on the to-do list.

that morning was mine,
& i loved every moment of it.

it's a monday,
here's hoping that this morning
was a sign of things to come.

lots of (delayed, often neglected ;) love,

-m

perfect day.

the scent of old books,

the thrill of consuming calorie infused foods,

& the feel of a spring breeze during an evening stroll

:)

hello! long time, no blog.

hi!

missed you :)

i've been away for a while
really missed this.

had quite an ... eventful week

i wrote an essay,
*fingers crossed* i think it went well

i had breakfast with natalie,
between us there was espresso & pastries
& most importantly, there was a glimpse of
what i hope next summer will be like

made lots of summer plans,
with wonderful friends

attended my first conversational french class of the summer,
il y a une boulangerie près du bâtiment de mon cours,
je dois réveiller très tôt le chaque samedi matin,
mais quand je pense à les croissants,
ça vaut le coup :)

also, i'm working on a very exciting project
with my friend caitie,
should be quite fun
& i can't wait to share it with you!

night,

-m

images: coming soon!
(image 2 - my new sandals!)

some mail.

just thought i'd send this your way

i'm assuming some of you live far,

so i thought i'd send this lovely message

in my loveliest envelope,

it seems appropriate

:)

lots of mid-week kisses,

this week, I fell in love with...

1. cake is amazing

cake with ruffles is a world wonder

pink cake with ruffles ...well that leaves me speecheless

& gives my sweet tooth a field day :)

2. that kitchen.
its so photogenic and perfect,
i might feel guilty actually cooking
and baking in it,
i think i'd just spend all day,
taking pictures of it.

3. the song la pluie du ciel by chantal goya

lots of air kisses,

summer adventure

i quite like the challenge presented in the first photo
and i have the perfect song
for the occasion

our swords by band of horses

wishing you many summer adventures,

-m

simply lovely

how wonderful is this photo?
very.

i don't remember where i found it,
somewhere in the blogsphere

still studying
but
this photo makes me think
of a time when
i will indulge in some pleasure reading
much needed


happy monday,

dresses wish list

i have wish lists
for almost everything

travel wish list
shoes wish list
concert tickets wish list

but no list is as long
as my dress wish list

i adore dresses so much
that i would trade
all the pleasures of today
to return to the 1950s
& prance around in a different dress
every day

dresses are without a doubt
my favourite piece of clothing
they are to me what shoes are
to most ladies (and guys)
i'm always craving new ones

i found quite a few
i was fond of
at modcloth

summer must haves.
emphasis on the must.

kisses,

-m

my kind of thinking

popped over to wue
during a study break

stumbled upon
such a great
anecdote

i'm almost positive
that the mom
in that scenario
is my own

love her.

lots of spring air kisses,

-m

it's orthodox Easter tomorrow!
Hristos vaskrse! Vaistinu vaskrse!

being the chocoholic that i am,
Easter is always
a much welcomed holiday

calories?
well they simply don't exist!
as chocolate eggs run into my mouth
with their fellow peers not far behind

yum!

every year i plan
to elaborately paint the eggs
express my inner artiste
but alas,
the library awaits, the books need to be opened

oh well!
moms just do it so much better ;)
case in point:
moline's lovely set on flickr

hope your weekend includes lots of chocolate,

some things,
while not practical
are simply wonderful

handmade rings by Colleen Baran

stumbled upon a new site
cardboard love

in love.

elle etait si jolie

Je me suis rendue compte qu'il y a une version serbe

de la chanson de Alain Barriere

"elle était si jolie"

dans serbe il a appelé "bila je tako lijepa"

j'aime bien les deux versions

la chanson est si sensible, si belle

mais, surtout elle est si simple

Cette chanson est un exemple

des chansons qui sont si bien

que on ne doit pas comprendre la langue

pour comprendre la beauté des paroles

Aujourd'hui c'est l'automne

Et je pleure souvent

Aujourd'hui c'est l'automne

Qu'il est loin le printemps

Sa robe tourbillonne

Puis elle disparait

je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur,

-m
