Weekly dose of little things.

I think I will make it a tradition to post about daily little things every Sunday. This last day of the week has always been my favorite - it gives you the time to sit back, relax, think and enjoy all the small treasures in your life you don't see while hurring up on daily work tasks.

The things like a hot cup of coffee near the fireplace, your mum's cooking a special dish just because you will go see the family, the chilly air outside corresponding to the warmness of your home, the cat purring next to you, the moment you realize you have what it needs to be completely happy and even beyond. The awareness that your life is absolutely perfect, no matter how often you've thought the opposite, no matter that tomorrow you can again hate it for a small, stupid reason.

So, go to your loved ones today, hug them and appreciate what you have. Be thankful and you will be twice as happy because you can even miss the opportunity to see how lucky you are. Have a nice Sunday and try be as aware of life's little treasures as possible!

Latin sayings

I really love old times wisdom. Sayings and inspirational quotes can get me through a hard day, literally. Here, in Bulgaria, a common practice is to have one with your coffee in most coffee places. Some of the written thoughts really suck, while others are small treasures. 

Here is one of the second type, meaning " Until victory, do not speak about triumph" - an old Latin saying. I think that this is what stands in many people's way to success. 

So, less speaking, more action, guys! :)

Wood slices

Since I saw these on Pinterest five months ago I immediately decided I should have some in my home. My father was kind enough to make plenty of them, different in size and thickness. My personal favorites are these on which I can put a cup of hot coffee or a vaze of roses, as you can see :)

They are pretty easy to make - you just need a piece of wood for a fire place in desired diameter and shape (round, preferably) and the right instrument (ask your man for these ha-ha). Then you need to preserve the slice with wood lacquer in order to kill the bugs inside and to have it shiny for a long time. 

After that it's finally in to you for what purpose you will use them - coffee server, as I said, hot dish pad, decoration feature, etc. I now plan to incorporate them in my Christmas themed decoration, the beginning of which you can see on the last picture.

Do you like these types of natural decorations and do you have wood in your interior?

It's all in the little things

This picture pretty much sums up the perfect Sunday afternoon - coffee, a book, cozy home and rainy weather. I will add a bed and your beloved one to complete the picture. Life is all about the little things! I guess we all now that but a little reminder won't hurt. 

Have a magnificent weekend!
