Today I Love

Good morning everybody!! I hope your weekend was loooovely :)

I gathered some awesome things from here and there that I looooove :) i hope you like them, too :)

The coolest pincushions from Strand (an absolutely new favourite!)

The most wonderful little corner, via Seventy Tree Blog

Fields of yellow and green by JumpUp. Awesome.

We need to sleep more by Sabrina Tibourtine . A very good advise for me.

Cool, eh?

In other things, so many stuff going on in the word right now, eh? To begin with, is election day here in Canada and then there is the O.B. Ladden thing. I hope we were a more peaceful specie.

Sadly, war is not going to be over anytime soon, I think.

But I don't want to scare you away from my blog. So I better focus in the little things we can do to be kinder to ourselves and to each other. Let's just begin taking a look outside our window and enjoy the beautiful sight of the world we live in. And let's not forget to smile to each other, even if we are complete strangers.

:)

Have a great week!

Last days of summer

Fall is approaching full speed and i adore that fact but this also reminds me to enjoy the last days of summer: The hot sun in my skin, the gentle breeze, the lazy afternoons, the soft humid grass beneath my feet, the celebration mode montrealers have during this season and all those lovely things that soon enough, will be absent during the next 8 months (wow, 8 months! i'm starting to feel nostalgic for the summer already).
So i have put together this collection of beautiful items that have the right attitude to say au revoir to summer in a good note.
