Georgie was assigned to keep a diary as part of a school project. Even though he already has one, he needed some motivation to journal every day. So I told him that I have always kept a diary, from a very young age and that I still have many of those diaries. So a little plastic container was pulled down from the highest shelf and opened. The first thing we saw was my baby book. Which is now considered a proper vintage item.
Soon after we booked our flights for Paris, I stumbled upon Airbnb. From apartments and houses to boats and treehouses, this website offers a unique living experience to add to your travels. Airbnb is a community marketplace where guests can book spaces from hosts, making it the perfect way to connect with people anywhere in the world. We were so fortunate to find Laetitia’s apartment was available because as you can see from the photos, it is absolutely stunning, dripping with vintage finds, books and tons of character. Not to mention the boulangerie located directly below the apartment filling the air with the sweet scent of warm croissants and other delights, every morning. Though this was our first Airbnb experience, I honestly recommend you give it a go. Oh and a big merci to Laetitia! Bisous!
One day I took a look around my parents’ house and realised there were certain pieces of furniture that I fancied. Not all are particularly old but sentimental and my kind of style nonetheless. An armchair, a stool and a cabinet have now found a home here, in my new home, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me because that stool used to belong to my grandmother and that chair came with my parents when they moved here from England.
Last week we celebrated my birthday. Our families came round for souvlakia and cake. Oh and champagne! We put our fireplace to good use for the first time too, welcoming the cold winter nights that have finally decided to make an appearance. By far the highlight of my day was the vintage Kodak Bullseye camera papa gave me. I love that guy!
