Advent calendar

Hello lovely  people,

I hope you are all just fine! 💕

Today's  post is about an advent calendar I have made for my son.

I love advent calendars and I have beautiful memories of calendars my mum bought me when I was little. I was so much looking forward to opening the little 'windows' which hid a little Christmas picture.  Today's advent calendars 'hide' sweet treats and gifts and children really love them😍🙌

I saw this idea in a magazine some years ago and I decided to give it a go this year . 

I made  little  fabric pouches using left over fabric in different colours and paterns and 

used a hot glue gun to stick them on a large piece of cardboard which I had already covered in  fabric in purple colour. 

Then, I used very small pieces of cardboard with the numbers 1-25 printed on them . 

I put sweet treats inside the pouches and some tiny , happy critters and dolls and here we are!!

I'm so very happy with the outcome!! I'm looking forward to seeing my son open each one of the pouches in the 25 days till Christmas and devouring the sweet treasures that he will find inside. 

It's so important to create lovely memories for our children !

Advent calendars are nice, but a nicely decorated tree and a warm , cosy atmosphere is equally satisfying and lovely , as well. 

I hope you all are given the chance to create something nice for you and your families this Christmas and that you spend many happy  family days with your loved ones. 

my love to all my readers, Stay safe and healthy and enjoy the holidays!!!

Fall moments

❤Hello lovely people from around the world. This is a quick post just to say hello to you and give you a glimpse of my days and decorations.  I love autumnal colours and the cozy warm interiors along with a cup of aromatic filter coffee. A walk on the beach is a must as the weather is very good and the days are still quite long.  I wish you all many joyful fall days and nights.Till next time , 

Tina 😍😙

 

Stencils on cupboard💟

Hello everyone!
Today's post is about something I did a little  time ago and I somehow never found the time to post about.
I have a little cupboard where we keep tools and other stuff which we use for house keeping. We recently painted it again and so we  covered the old stencils - flowers with leaves in pastel colours.

I wanted to give it a trendier look and bought stencils in a mandala design.
Then, I used chalk paint and a little sponge and this is the outcome.
I find it very appealing and in tune with current trends which echo boho , hippy  styles. What do you think?
I also added a lamp in light grey colour and some decorative items and books and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I hope to have given you an idea for your own cupboard transformations!.
Take care and enjoy summer!

My love to all,

• Tina👱💕❤💟

Summer vibes at home!🐋🐟🍉

Hello , hello!
I'm back with some ideas for decorating your living room for the summer.
I have chosen shades of beige,  white,  grey, brown and blue to reflect the colour of the coast and sandy beaches.
I used lots of cushions and throws in sand beige , white candle sticks , grey and beige lamp shades,  seashells , starfish, sea urchins, aromatic candles,  vintage lanterns and wreaths.  I have also made some crochet covers for my cushions.  Most of the items I've used are not new ones. I have had them for some years , but I have also bought a few cushion covers in white and light brown to match the throws of my sofas.

I' m very pleased with the outcome and I hope you like it,  too!
Happy summer moments to all of you and happy decorations!!!
Love ,

Tina💟💕💗
