The beauty around us

What a joy to notice the beauty around us! I just can’t seem to get over the wonderful autumn we have here. It encourages me to take long walks in the wild and capture every color and every detail.  Hope you also have lots to admire around where you live. Would love to hear/read about it 🙂

Colors and rain drops

If you don’t have time for blogging and keeping in touch with your friends it can only mean that there is lots happening in your life. I think it’s also a good sign 😉 cause it shows that you are enjoying and living every day to the full! Yes that’s exactly the situation in my case. Where have the weeks gone so fast? Summer is over, life is back to normal, daily activities, new ventures, ideas come to life, I embrace the changes and see the beauty coming from it. I have lots to share here but hoping for colder darker evenings where I’d be sitting with a cup of tea wrapped in a blanket and with my laptop, I’ll be able to work on all the photos and inspirations. The start of autumn was amazing – warm, colorful and sunny, we have had a short holiday in Germany, visited friends, made some trips to charming places, can’t wait to show you that as well. I still want to show you my new flat and the latest party designs that I’ve created. Please bare with me 😉 Big hug to all and wishing you a fantastic week!

Koyo time

I know I’ve just returned from Europe but I’m about  to travel again. This time a short family break in Japan to see the beautiful koyo (colourful leaves) of autumn. It’s planned as a busy tour through many places around Japan. I’ve never been, so I’m excited to be surprised as I don’t know what to expect. I have my camera charged, packed and ready to take many photos, which I’ll be happy to share with you when I’m back next week.

 

Finally back

Hello my dear readers and blog friends. Hope that you have all been just great. I know that I had the best time ever enjoying the fresh air, beauty of nature and my dear family and friends. It’s time to get back to normal life and catch up on all the lost time and visit your blogs.  I would like to thank my dearest ever blog friends that have guest posted for my blog while I was away, I’m really happy you found the time and will to help. All your posts are just perfect and I know that you have carefully selected a topic that would be best here. Once again – you are great! I can’t wait to reconnect with everyone and see what you have all been up to. Looking forward to hearing from you!

For now please enjoy a few of my favorite sights from Europe.

 

 

Guest Post – AUTUMN and PUMPKINS

Hi everybody,
my name is Francesca, I am italian and I usually blog at
Last week I received an e-mail from my darling Anna where she asked me to do a guest post
for her, here in her interesting and so informative blog
(thanks Anna for all the infos you give us about fruits!).
I couldn’t refuse, that’s obvious!!
I “met” Anna at the very beginning of my blogging adventure almost a year ago and we have continued to keep in touch ever since, isn’t this blogland just faboulous??!
 
I know how much she misses North Emisphere Autumn and so I thought to give her some Autumn with this guest post, I hope you will like it my dear friend!
So let the Autumn fairy blow…….

and bring here some wonderful Autumnal images.Pumpkins and Autumn are so poetic, aren’t they?

And we can prepare so many tasty recipes with pumpkins!
I am totally in love with
pumpkin soup with a bit of cinnamon!! Mmmm…

I hope you’ve been able to feel some Autumnal breeze Anna.

Has the fairy done a good job??!!
Francesca

Guest Post – Touches of orange

Hi! I am Kristin from A Page Of Inspiration and I am so honored to guestpost for my blogfriend Anna today. I have followed her for quite some time, and I think she chooses her posts carefully. They’re always nice! Hope you’re having a great trip, Anna!


In my country we have Autumn now and it is getting colder each day. A few days ago I decorated my house with a little orange here and there. It makes such a difference! When I found these interior pictures I just had to show them to you…


Orange is the perfect touch! And how beautifully these colors go together.


What a difference two lamps can make!

Have a lovely day everyone!!!

Off to catch some autumn

I’m off to Europe today and very excited about it! It’s quite an unexpected trip but I’m glad I have the chance to meet my family and friends again. I’m also hoping to get a glimpse of some beautiful autumn scenery.

While I’m away do stayed tuned as I have asked some of my dear blog friends to guest post! (Very Happy)
