I bought myself a little something last week, in the honor of the International Women's Day... A sweet necklace of silverbeads and semi-precious stones by the Soul of Maïa.

These mistysoft stones are Jaspises; the shade is called Lotus. Jaspis is supposed to soothe anxiety and distress, as well as strengthen a sense of inner security and peace. My sons chose the necklace with me, or for me actually. They sure know what they're doing. I'll wear it with this long breezy cotton maxidress in the summertime. I've even got flip-flops decorated with Lotus-colored beads somewhere... And it'll be perfect with my Everyday Sugar coat and Zara boots as well... Or what say you? The boys also chose these roses for me: And here's a little tip for you. When your flowers (roses, particularly) start to seem a bit "down", cut off the rosebuds and place them in a shallow bowl, like I've done above, with a drop of water at the bottom. They'll bloom still many more days like this, and oftentimes dry beautifully as well...♥. ~*♥*~

That little moment when everybody else has fallen asleep... A little blogger can hear her own thoughts... Maybe even note down a few... On that moment, it doesn't matter if the paintings are lopsided, odd pieces of clothing are scattered here and there, or that the chairs around the table are all different... Candle light does matter. As does a scented cup of hot tea. That's all it takes. ~*♥*~

I've collected some personal favorites of mine here for you... A sweeeeet bohemian piece of ankle jewellery. I just love this; will try to find someone to make one for me...

20's inspired dress, sultry 'n sweet A beautiful piece of vintage jewellery...Ah.

Pearls, carried with attitude... Like so.

MmmmmMmmm... a bandanna for flowy wavy summer hair... My inspiration for today came from these little touches, found from here & there and everywhere... Hope they bring a little dance into yours steps this Monday...♥ ~*♥*~

There's a huge auction ongoing (12.3.2012, 12->) at Bukowski in Stockholm at the moment... Everyone can participate over the net (www.bukowskis.com ) or over the phone... Dangerous. There are many pretty pieces but these antique earrings are the most beautiful item I spotted: I think the phone lines are still open for all you vintage & antiques lovers out there... ~*♥*~

...watching the lovely romantic movie Before Sunset. Again. I know I've written about it before... What can I say. This movie just gets under my skin... The romance of it is real, instead of the usual sugarcoating. So real, that all by my myself, I'm secretly believing in Jesse and Celine... So if you ever doubt the existence of poetic justice in this universe, try Before Sunset. (First, you absolutely must see Before Sunrise - and be 10 years younger when seeing it - then the "sequel" Sunset, 10 years later). Works for me, every time...♥. Celine: Baby, you are gonna miss that plane. Jesse: I know   ~*♥*~ Post Scriptum: I've loved Julie Delpy since Kieslowski's White. Ethan Hawke since the Dead Poet's Society. And here these two Moonbeams have actually written the script, together with friend & director Richard Linklater. Making a little small budget piece of art with grit, biting reality, soulmates. Conveying the love of a lifetime without so much as a kiss.(Ok I've got nothing against kissing... But here it works). Ah. ~*♥*~
