Black & White & Ethnic

When you have a private house then home improvement work never stops really. I have noticed how much more one needs to do compaired to a city apartment.

Last weekend I have spotted a carpet in Ikea which I wanted to have in the upstairs hall. It is a square space some 2m by 2m and there is nothing else but doors in there. I fell in love with this ethnic ornament and the fresh combination of white & black. Really would like to have more black & white at home right now and see monochrome textiles against beautiful wood shades.

Like?

Soon I will get yet one more year older and being in situation I am in I can not but think of some ways to cheer myself up and considering I am a handbag girl almost as much as shoe girl I could not stop from craving Furla's new collections purple bags.

I have now concluded this is the perfect model for me: it is light and something between hard and soft and it is that ideal medium size. And models name is Elisabeth, so...it is destiny, right?

Should I or should I not?

Back In Purple & One Leg

It has been a while since I updated this blog. I started new job, I started a life of a working mum with 2 kids. No excuses but I did not have much time to do anything else than just basic routines. I need to say special thanks to Linda, who reminded me of this blog and inspired to continue writing it.

I think, it is also age that makes it more tough to adopt to life changes. I had once come back from maternity leave 4 years ago and it felt so different than now. I have to say I am generally happy to be back to work. But there are moments when I envy housewives, but just a bit.

Since last Monday I have started yet another new chapter. A life of a person, working mum, with one disfunctioning leg. I do not love it, but it will come to an end. For a bit over a week now I have been pretty much home, trying to work from home, trying to manage everything with a sick leg.

Today I have been to my doctor and she encouraged to walk a bit more so I took a short ride to Munkkiniemi seaside cafe, had a feta quiche and bio lemonade, then walked some 50 meters by the shore admiring autumn nature. I have not seen much of the autumn otherwise, it is now already turning quite much into winter.

I had a quick visit to Stockmann as well and picked a few items satisfying my cravings for purple color. I got very very tired just from 15 minutes I spent in the shop, so it is yet too early to be optimistic about recovery.

Some pics reflecting my current status: me, bed, leg and cold press for it, purple basic clothes in various textures,  my new obsession with Iittala colorful Kivi candle holders and my outing in Munkkiniemi cafe today.
