Blue Shadowy Istanbul

Our  Church wedding

Yes, this is our Silver wedding anniversary. Every year, me and GH travel a week around Europe just to relax, remembering the special moment of our lives.

This year, he surprised me with Istanbul tour. Lil Missy will celebrate her 22nd bday, so dear father bought her a round trip ticket from Copenhagen to Istanbul for her bday present too. Isn't he adorable?

Here is the historical city of Istanbul

 A former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica(church), later an imperial mosque, and now a museum. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.

    Hello Chie,

    What a wonderful BLUE trip you're on. I love the blue mosque, but I am saddened that a church is now only a museum. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Have a Happy Blue Monday!

    It is just SO GREAT that you are able to visit such exotic and wonderful countries!!! As you know, the United States is really big and not really close to anything exotic, so traveling is always a bit of a burden. It must really be nice to just travel to so many different countries and experience so many different cultures on a whim! I was so amazed at the beauty of that church/mosque/museum! That must have been quite and experience! And that bazaar!!!!!!! I would want to spend the night so that I wouldn't lose any time shopping!!!

    Happy Anniversary to you and your husband! I hope you were able to find something special in silver to commemorate the occasion!

Having a BALL in our Outdoor cozy lounge...

AT LAST!!! Isn't it an easy life when our weather is not that HOT or too COLD ? ***  Det är så underbart liv när vädret tillåter. Absolut man får njuta det ljuva livet i solen. This is the time when I move our lounge outdoor and just loving to pamper it with my simple way and a dash of a chic style (at least) I feel it. *** En härlig dag sån här årstid. Jag flyttade vardagsrummet i uteverandan och den älskar jag. En enkel stil med en liten chic-touch! Here is my new outdoor LOUNGE!!!   Me & GH went for a morning walk (as always)   Preparing for a cozy outdoor lounge... I move the buffé table and gathered my treasures...  I gathered all my pensies in my galvanized tray... Cotton cookie holder from Malta with a St. John's cross My wrought cloche which I wanted to rust but still long way to go...  Mini grill? GH asked! Guess NOT! Don't you like it?   This corner will be a drink corner and ready to serve us... GH cho

Inherited--- A Vintage and Delicate Treasure

A sofisticated to my eyes... When I was young, I know what we had on top of my family's table. I don't really care what kind of treasures we had? I just remember that my grandfather had a very fine china set and unfortunately ended to a wrong greedy grandchildren, my first cousin's wife. Mum inhereted some of the set and as I recall she adored them till her last breath. If I am still living in The Philippines, I would love to keep them by myself. Hopefully, dear sis will adore as Mum does. Then, my new life started when I marry GH and move to Stockholm, Sweden 25 yrs ago. I know my love of kitchen/tables gadgets, i.e. household utensils, deep in my heart. It was already forseen by many of our friends--- my pedantic way and the love of a house to make it a home. I thank you Mum for that. It is true the saying " what we had experienced from our childhood, is what we get when we have our own" ? Well, when GH mother passed away 2 decades ago, GH inherite
