This season...

I absolutely love this time of year, it is so magic and special to my heart. I love wearing warm sweaters and beautiful cashemere scarfs, wrap myself in a warm blanket and enjoy a freshly brewed chai latte in front of my fireplace. It feels so amazing, so heart warming. It feels like her majesty autumn is slowly becoming colder as is getting ready to embrace the winter season. Beautiful pumpkins are now everywhere making this time of year blossom. I really like this quote by Albert Camus "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower".

I'm so inspired by this sweet burning aroma of the woods coming from the fireplaces. It makes me desire to paint and dream. Even if Christmas is not here yet, I can hear it slowly coming with tender whispers saying - I'm almost here. I'm inspired to attend the biggest Christmas choir performance here in Toronto, Messiah by Handel and various classical and ballet performances. Ah, so amazing.
Sending you lots of love.

 

What do you wish to make time for?

What do you wish to make time for?

This is a question asked by Jamie Ridler Studios on Wishcasting Wednesday.

I just love Jamie’s questions, they are so deep and inspiring. It feels like they are filled with magic and sparkles.

I really wish to make time for so many beautiful things in my life. I wish to paint more, I have a desire to create a big painting and show azure shining sea that I’ve seen many times in my dreams. I wish to make time for reading more, I really feel that it is so important to read a lot… reading brings so many interesting ideas. I also wish to have more time each morning to do these amazing brazil exercises that I started a year a go and then stopped.

I desire to start making dream boards and writing in my journal. It really feels like time passes by so quickly and there are so many things I wish to fit in my calendar. I wish to attend performances, concerts and exhibitions, travel to Europe and get inspired by it’s beauty and charm.

I also feel that because the world is filled with so many interesting things, there will be always a time shortage as it’s impossible to do it all. I wish to make time for just relaxing and enjoying the moment.

Autumn days

It can feel the freshness of the autumn breeze and the sweet scent of the fallen leaves and the burning woods in the fireplaces. This time of year inspires me so much, I feel that there is a sleepy and peaceful atmosphere all around me. This season is so magical. I am ready to embrace it and follow its flow. It's also a time of year that allows you to spend more time with ourselves and quietly think of our dreams and desires.

I encourage you to feel peaceful and quite in your heart. Enjoy the sweet scent of this season.

French Earrings

Today, I've been walking around the old part of Nice and going inside different french boutiques. These earrings captured my heart and attention, I could not stop looking at them. It felt like they hold the beauty of the Mediterranean sea inside... They inspired me to think about a new series of illustrations called Marie Antoinette. I bought them from a charming French lady, they are now mine! :)

Today's inspiration

Everyday moments can be so beautiful and special. Today, I've been sitting in my terrace, indulging a rose petal tea with lavender and admiring these incredible roses that I bought a week ago at the Flower Market. It was so peaceful, so quiet... only the singing of different kinds of birds could be heard from a distance. I've been drawing all day. I dream to create a lot of new illustrations and paintings. I dream to have my own exhibition...

My yesterday's walk in Nice, France

My beautiful readers, I'm having the most amazing time here in France. I'm eating croissants and indulging French champaign and wine. The weather is gorgeous and the sea is like a dream... It feels home. Here are some photos that I took yesterday with my new camera that I bought especially for this trip.

This is a very famous umbrella boutique in Old Nice... it's absolutely marvellous.

 I absolutely loved this boutique, it's is filled with gorgeous French style dresses and jewelry... it's a pearl.

This is one of the finest bakeries in Nice... the have the most delicious desserts and hot chocolate.

I as well, discovered this Au nom de la Rose boutique!!! They sell only roses, vases for the roses, desserts made out of roses, candles with rose perfume... It's all about Rose.

Trip to France!

My beautiful readers, my heart is overwhelming with excitement and happiness. Tomorrow I'm going to Nice, France! I feel like writing I'm moving to France but for now I'm only going for a trip, at least that's what I think.

I started packing my big hats with flowers and pretty dresses with floral patterns. It feels so amazing...
I cannot wait to swim in a salty refreshing water filled with azure colour that reflects the beauty of the sky.
