In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means.

In which we talk about a beautiful porcelain sculpture!

Hello and good afternoon everyone!! We're here on the beginning of another week, and I hope everything may be great for all of us! To celebrate this, I wanted to share with you all a picture that will bring us to the year of 2017! I like to call 2017 the year of the crazy roller coaster with no seatbelts or security bars, because it felt that way for me, too much stuff going on, too many changes at the same place and time, it's enough to drive everyone nuts, and I'm no exception! But, this picture I'm talking about was taken before the storm, in the end of my vacations. I just graduated from school and was about to start college, it was a mild period of my life, with some anxiety moments because I had no idea what college would be like, but overall not bad at all! Here's the picture I'm talking about:


This is probably my favorite picture I took in 2017 and portraits this wonderful porcelain sculpture of two amazingly dressed nobles from the 18th century having a relaxed moment. I just love Rococo and the art from the mid 18th century, and this definitely sounds like it, which pleases me way too much. At the background we have a garden, which I think fitted the moment well. Those sophisticated carefree moments are indeed something to be celebrated, as are memories of past vacations of life. 
And here we are, at the end of another post! I'm so happy to have you here, reading this! I hope you liked it, and I see you soon for more!
