"Being perfect artists and ingenuous poets, the Chinese have piously preserved the love and holy cult of flowers; one of the very rare and most ancient traditions which has survived their decadence. 

And since flowers had to be distinguished from each other, they have attributed graceful analogies to them, dreamy images, pure and passionate names which perpetuate and harmonize in our minds the sensations of gentle charm and violent intoxication with which they inspire us."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"

-T. Roosevelt-

Dare greatly,

Enjoy life to the fullest.

Good morning and a wonderful week to you.

I hope you had a fun, laugher-filled weekend.

Mine was filled with great moments, many smiles, loads of paint and even some champagne.

This week: yippie....we're flying off to Boston on Thursday. A city I have not had the pleasure of visiting yet and very much looking forward to exploring (I even hear the weather is going to be reasonable).

I wish you an exquisite week.

Smile Loads.

Dior Fall 2012 

Next week we're off to Boston, so this weekend is all about looking for the right "wintery" clothes to pack (loads of cute gloves, wellington boots and gorgeous shawls) (ok, I know it is officially spring, and I must say that the weather forecast looks decent....but we live in the Caribbean....anything below 20celcius is simply freezing for us.....even if it is just for 4 days).

Hope you have a great weekend.

Smile loads

Laugh much

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

-Jawaharial Nehru-

A contemporary German equivalent for the English word wanderlust, in the sense of "crave for travel," is Fernweh (literally meaning "an ache for distant places").
