  It's peace, first snow and and the light of two candles in all window as Finland gets ready to celebrate her independence. Beautiful, dignified, quiet day. Snow couldn't have chosen a better time to light up our darkness. Today I'm going to go to watch the candlelit march on the Senate Square, and to cry a little. But in a good way.

One of my best purchases ever is this dreamy hip jewellery  in rosequartz, glass beads and real freswater pearls. MmmmmmMmm... Can't wait to feel the coolness and smoothness of stones & beads on my skin... This tresor is of course handmade and created by the magical FairyPrincess Oona Elena Kassila. The chain can also be worn as a necklace... Purrrrfect. [caption id="attachment_6344" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="I don't have my piece at home yet, but this is how to wear it... Tooo lovely."][/caption] The piece was inspired by tribal bellydancers...♥. Also, it's recommended to be worn at weddings, which I find a particularly facinating idea. Nothing to give more bohemian a look to a bride than a rosebelly jewel like this... I already know that this beauty is something I'll be wearing always and everyday. ~*♥*~

The kids couldn't wait any longer. Since we don't have a Christmas tree yet, they hung the decorations all around the house...

On independence day we'll get a real tree! A tiny one for the kids, one they can choose themselves and decorate as they like, and a big real tree for me. Ok, I confess, I'm probably even more excited about it than the kids...

This deep burgundy velvet heart with pearl decorations is one of my favorites. I used to buy Stockmann's Christmas decorations and travel all around the world scouting for new ideas. This hand decorated beauty I found from India. In fact, I always spent a month or so in India and the Far East at this time of the year, choosing decorations for the following year. And I remember calling home to ask who'd had the prettiest dress on independence day... A real Finn, even when far away :) Oh I miss those trips... All the adventure... Will tell you about some of those, another time. Now it's BuonaNotte, tutti...♥. ~*'*~

Sometimes it's good to stop and think. To really stop and think. Today I was putting my head & heart in order following the wise guideline below: "Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about."

When did you stop the last time, just to say to someone: You Are Important To Me...

Today, I am going to say it to someone - my lovely, sweet, funny, wise, beautiful goddaughter. Whom I haven't seen in ages and whom I miss too much. The belle just turned 16 and we're getting together for a girly afternoon of celebrating her.

So my Saturday is guaranteed to be lovely as I get to spend it with my sweet Laura.

Wishing sunshine to your day also...♥

Today the wise words of Neale Donald Walsch hit me like a hammer in the head. "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." So true, and so comforting. Especially today, when I (once and again) found myself million miles away from the nearest  comfort zone... Today I'm thinking of you, sending a butterfly kiss over to everyone out there, far away from comfort but feeling somehow very alive... At least, that's where I am. ~*♥*~
