Shopping with Georgie can SOMETIMES be fun. Those times however usually include a space where it’s safe for him to roam about. It’s such a shame there aren’t more stores with beautiful kiddie corners stacked with books and toys and no holes to escape. Last year I discovered Jellybean on Stasicratous Street in Nicosia. An utterly gorgeous space packed with cute clothes, great books and Tigadoo’s wooden toys. Here, Georgie can play and so can I! The bandana he’s wearing? I couldn’t resist! And I couldn’t resist this black tank top either!
This afternoon we showed our support for my gorgeous friend Z, who organized a street market in the old town of Nicosia. Old furniture, albums, books, trinkets and clothes were on parade in a small alleyway where music was blaring and the mojitos were on fire! I could’ve spent at least a couple of hours browsing the stalls but alas motherhood was calling so we said hello to friends we haven’t seen in AGES, took a few pics and headed to the nearest cafe for homemade lemonade and supper for Georgie.Note the Snoopy tie!yes please! to those camel colored flats.I can’t even begin to tell you how sad I am that bag is not in my closet!Really looking forward to more market love. xxx
This past week I have come so close to going crazy, I swear it’s not even funny. Last night I couldn’t sleep(never happens to me!) and yesterday I was convinced my favorite maxi dress was washed, ironed and ready to be worn, when in fact it was so deep in the laundry basket I worried I wouldn’t be able to get rid of the creases. I had turned my wardrobe upside down, which meant that i was left sans maxi dress and a whole lotta mess. The reason for my recent state of mind is the house we are building. Oh my! Have you ever attempted to renovate or build from scratch? If you have then you understand. This is my dream home I keep telling those who say I should enjoy the adventure. It’s no time for adventures. I need to get it 1000% right! Everything needs to be perfect. I want to look at it everyday and marvel. But how do I really know what is perfect? I see something. i like it. easy, right? not when you have a million choices and happen to like a lot of things. This-liking a lot of stuff- is my main problem, my friend believes. I should narrow down what i like. Still, deciding on what color I want my house to be, what tiles go in the bathroom, if I want a wooden staircase or a marble one or what type of wood i prefer in my walk-in-wardrobe (oh yes!) or choosing between a classic or modern touch is just too much for me. I know there are people with serious problems out there but this house is costing a lot of money and I need to be careful when making thousands of euros worth of choices. This is it. We’re nearing the finish line and finally able to give Georgie a beautiful home with a garden and decisions need to be made.
So yesterday i managed to tick off quite a few things off my list. I washed my hair -and used a mask!- painted my nails-and toenails!- spring-cleaned Georgie’s wardrobe and watched My Week with Marilyn. What an actress michelle williams is! Truly impressed! And of course totally mesmerized by Marilyn and her life.
