So what is happening?

This week has been quite lovely, hanging out with friends and kids birthday party (yes it was a European style in Calgary, we do drink in front of children casualy and so don't judge!), our fence got finished and roses with hydrangeas are smiling at me happily... We play, shop for door handles and mail box! And we watch Ipad during an afternoon snack on our porch... life can't be better as we are enjoying each other every day...

B-day party for my son's friend, they are 4!!

Our house before:

And house after: 

Our fence & gate, love it! Do you see the roses and hydrangeas on the right?

Close up...

It came together well I think.

We play!

Shop for door handles...

New mail box, of course, the bigger the better..never have to redirect mail when we travel ...again!

We play at breakfast...

We eat a peach with Greek yoghurt in the afternoon on our porch....

And I shop for houses on internet in the meantime....

This one is in Norfolk, England...such a lovely Georgian manor...

Love their simple bedroom elegance....

And could use this roofed glass house pool in our back yard too...Next reno?? ...smiles...

Hope you are having an exciting and relaxing week as well.

Perfect Fall Days...

Such a perfect fall day can happen when you have a girlfriend (Dorota in my case!) who brings you the most beautiful bleeding roses and stays for a much needed girl talk:

... and they inspire your sense of style...edging it with red!

Wow, peplums add curves in the right places, don't they? Etro sure does it well this season.

Such a perfect fall day happens when I watch my son and husband play hide and seek surrounded by falling leaves:

Or watching a child making the beautiful bouquet from the fallen leaves....

Also...Watching children rolling in the leaves and laughing....

When you help your little one with some related art work ...making the falling leaves useful!

Or when that son of yours helps you plant fall flowers in bright yellow!

And you get the idea that bright yellow fur would be the perfect look now...smiles.

And when you manage to make the perfect roasted turkey for the Canadian "Thanksgiving dinner" and feed your family whilst being so very grateful for all the happiness and health you have with them!

This is not my turkey roast by the way! I wish...mine looks like that on Monday and with that said, I wish you all in Canada a very relaxing and joyful and thankful holidays and soon to be in the U.S.A.!!
