This is a post to share my joy with you all and to introduce you to my new partner at the studio! For a long time I had been dealing with my sewing issues either on my own in an amateurish but heartful

Wool has always been one of my favorites. Greek wool is rough, difficult to tolerate directly on your skin as a piece of clothing, at least for me, but perfect for other things like wall hangings, bookmarks,

How do you feel when you visit an ancient sacred place? With some places you feel a deeper connection, while there are places that make you feel uncomfortable for a reason. I don't think that anyone would

There is a famous japanese mending technique called Sashiko, that in my opinion (and many other people's opinion) is a form of art. In modern years this technique has been neglected as Japanese started

This is a place that attracts visitors from all around the world. One of the most important sites of Greek antiquity, Epidaurus was believed to be the birthplace of the healing god and son of Apollo,

When it's cold you dream of a hot summer day and when it's hot you miss the cold. For me the second case is not an option, but here I am in a cold winter night feeling nostalgic about a trip I made in

I am not a fan of belongings. I believe that people with less stuff tend to be happier, as long of course as they have what is essential to live the life they want with dignity. But I have managed to have

"Keep it simple, keep it slow and light". I keep reminding this to myself so that I don't get overwhelmed by the endless list of to-do things and the endless list of bills and stuff that I need

Since we moved to the new town, I am excited about many things but mostly because we are so close to the sea and I walk with my dog by the sea every day. Pure bliss! But change inevitably (I guess) comes

Meeting new people is usually refreshing. Meeting Hivers in real life is not only refreshing, but absolutely interesting as well. The fact that they turn out to be the kindest people you could meet and

Within a few minutes from our house I can be at the sea and this is pure joy for a sea lover like me! Early in the morning, the city is quiet and the sea usually calm. Markos and I certainly prefer it

National holiday today in Greece and in the small town where we now live, there is a tradition of having a flea market with traders coming all over the country. It takes place on the street where my first

This has been a very long, busy, awesome week! Lots of work happening to the new studio and our brand new start in the small town we just moved in. It's been a week already, yet hard to realize the change.

This is a post I've been looking forward to share with you and finally now is the time! It is from our island hopping tour this fall and it is at a tiny little island called Antikythira. Tiny means indeed

I met once a sweet old lady with a big mustache that earned a special place in my heart by saying in a heavy Cretan accent "When I have a lot of work to do, I go for a nap". Since I go through

This triptych above really looks like a postcard from the 80's :) Today I am going to take you to Mycenae, a famous archaeological site close to my hometown. Not the greatest photos, all taken by my Xiaomi

This is not a garden journal to describe the current state of our plants, but rather a true journal of what happened these last months, from November to January, when we were dedicated to the olive groves

Life plays games they say! There was a certain period in my life, more than 10 years ago, full of signs, that made me change my whole perspective. We were still living with @fotostef in Athens and I was

Change of scenery as we are visiting Athens for a few days, combining work, friends and family. No mountains this time, this is a walk by the coastline :) And this is the look of a confused (countryside

It's windy and cloudy outside and I enjoy sitting by the wood stove and looking at the photos of my autumn vacation. Surprisingly, I have only posted the first day of the trip, but in reality I have a
