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!
After seeing the house today and the freshly painted outside walls I decided I am excited enough to show you a few sneak peeks. This is the view from the living room… View from the opposite side – back into the living room. Thought I should give you a good idea about how high our ceilings are! It was one of the few things I was 100% sure I wanted to see everyday. Then, we have a sample of the brickwork for decorating outside…and inside! And it just keeps getting better…x
This afternoon, my sister came round with her two older kids, Angelo and Mia for some Scotch pancakes with jam and chocolate cake. We had to figure a way to balance all that sugar and energy so we gave them two large pieces of paper and as many stickers as we could find. Georgie was having so much fun at one point he started pulling faces and running up and down the flat! I was surprised at just how much fun kids can have without necessarily getting dirty. Can’t believe I didn’t think of stickers before.
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
