a storm blew away a little market

     OK, so it didn’t literally blow the market away but it was heartbreaking…watching that big black cloud covering a month’s worth of preparation and a day’s  worth of fun. We had hardly finished grooming our stall when the first clouds appeared. I decided to leave my bruised baby with his grandparents and ignore my lack of sleep after our stay at the hospital and this is what happens?? To be honest I don’t regret it. I love the rain. And i got to see my friends and take some cool shots.      C’est la vie!

a black eye

         On Friday afternoon my mum and I were taking our usual post-lunch walk through Ikea in search for an 8 euro clothes rail. Georgie, as usual again, was standing in the shopping cart watching the world go by. Five minutes later i heard a thump- a noise I will NEVER forget. A noise so disturbing every time I think of it I feel sick. He had fallen on his head and in a matter of seconds his eye was swollen shut.

the need for nature

       Last night it hit me: My camera has gathered dust. It’s been neglected, which ultimately means that I’ve been stuck in this stupid non-productive rut for far too long. So this morning, I grabbed my trainers, a banana, some water and my camera and headed for a walk with Georgie through Athalassa park. Even while I was sweating like a pig and spooked by noises in the bushes- I’ve had a big black ol’ snake cross my path a couple of times and let me tell you I was not impressed!- I promised myself I will do this as often as possible.    We should all make more of an effort to satisfy our need for nature. Being outdoors, felt good.

to market, to market

When I was about ten, one of my favorite role-playing games was shop keeper. My sister and friends would hang all our mother’s clothes around a bedroom, pull a desk out and start counting pretend money and trying on fancy dresses. I loved making price tags. And guess what? I still do!    I will be attending and participating (!) in the Ledenes Street Market in old Nicosia on October 6. A very good friend of mine is organizing this exciting event which is happening for the second time. You may remember the pictures I took last May of gorgeous vintage and second hand finds. I loved the atmosphere which was like one big party but including happy and guilt-free shopping so I jumped at the opportunity to clean out my closet and have some fun. X and I are enjoying the preparation and planning. We cut up some old wrapping paper for the price tags and using my trusty old Ikea cardboard boxes for a tidy presentation.Clothes, accessories and shoes will be in our corner but you are sure to find homemade goods and quirky trinkets throughout the market. Oh do stop by if you are in town. Wouldn’t it be great to see more and more of these little markets popping up around? Show your support!
