Inspired by fall
As we are in the last month of fall I'd like to show you some very pretty fall settings you could easily create in your home to make it feel warmer and more ambient now that the weather is getting colder. Warm oranges, browns and reds, dried leaves and fruits, bare branches and of course lit candles will create the right mood.

I couldn't resist showing you those of you who can crochet, a crocheted lampshade for babies. It's so sweet! It's in Idees Maille Bebe which I found via La Brocante de Margote, a blog full of creative ideas.

Gloomy, rainy days like this can easily make you feel depressed, that's why I thought of making a list with the fall things that I like and can light up a bit your day.

What's greek style for you?
What comes to your mind when you hear the words "greek style"? I posted some pictures on the Etsy Greek Street blog. Of all these, what's greek style for you? All of them or none? Is it something else?

Some very special chandeliers
Madeleine Boulesteix started making chandeliers when she found some old glass drops. She continued by adding to her list of materials, teacups, glasses, kitchen utensils, and other recycled objects she finds in charity shops, flea markets and scrap metal yards. I think the result is gorgeous:
My favorites are her one bulb lanterns:
North Glenn Glass makes oil lamps with the finest reclaimed glass bottles. There is a central bottle filled with water which acts as a rise and fall counterweight but also as lens that catches the light and projects all shades of light in the surroundings.

How to make a wall hanging from doilies
ελληνικό κείμενο
Despite my last post, I 'm still here. Moving was postponed, because due to the work it requires, it can't be done now. But still, I made some changes . I refreshed my blog's appearance and separated it to two sections, one with only English text and one with only Greek text. It looks more right this way and it' s easier to read.
I also made something to decorate my home. I thought I could use some of those doilies my mother kept hidden in her closets -she didn't like them much either. She was very surprised when I asked her to bring me some.
When I emptied the bag, I was thinking of what I could make with them. Then I remembered of that wall in my dining room which is quite empty and decided to make a wall hanging to decorate it.
I used small copper rings, as they wouldn't show against my brown wall, to link 5 doilies and just one pin to hang the wall hanging.

I boiled equal quantities of sugar and water
and after the syrup cooled down, I completely soaked the doilies in it,
then I laid them on baking paper and waited with patience for them to get dry .
The method proved to be very effective, it stiffened the doilies without altering their appearance. Moreover, if you change your mind, all you have to do is wash the doilies and they return to their previous situation.
