I started decorating the house last week but so far I didn't have the time to post anything. The first spot I chose to decorate was the top of the stove which last year was left completely bare. I didn't do something special just recycled some things from <a href="http://afewprettythings.blogspot.gr/2012/12/christmas-decoration-for-mantel.html">last year's holiday mantel</a> in a more rustic way.<br />
<br />

I mixed the painted pinecones with natural ones in a zink basin and added some balls.<br />

<br />
Normally I should post something related to holiday decoration, instead today 's post is in absolute contrast to what is going outside my window: cold, rain and a crazy wind that has swept away everything that was standing on our porch.<br />
<br />
As November was ending I realized that I hadn't made anything to decorate the house for fall. Too late! The living room looked to me boring but with Christmas approaching I had to bear with it until I started decorating for the holidays. Luckily <i>Petridis</i> put me out of my misery by sending me this amazing bouquet of mixed flowers!<br />
<br />

Don't we usually say that it 's the small things that make us happy? Well, flowers is one of those small things for me, especially when they are so beautifully put together.<br />

I decided to play a little and took off the lilac wrap but the only vase I had in a suitable size was a plain glass one. It took me two minutes to dress it with a piece of burlap and some natural rope and red ribbon wrapped around it.<br />

It 's a cliche that a bouquet of flowers can enliven a space but it is so true. For more than a week the flowers standing in one corner kept catching my eye every time I passed by and made me think how prettier they made the whole living room.<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
It still feels like summer here at least in the morning so I admit I wasn't inspired to do any fall decoration at all. <br />
Instead I will show you a mirror I made out of an old wardrobe door a couple of months ago. It is not a complete tutorial, more of a before and after post with some tips. Except I forgot to take a picture of the before.<br />
<br />

Luckily I had posted a picture of the door decorated for Easter, you can see it<i> <a href="http://afewprettythings.blogspot.gr/2013/05/just-bit-of-easter-decoration.html">here</a>. </i>This door is what was left from an old wooden wardrobe we took out of the basement in pretty bad situation. The other piece that was saved is<a href="http://afewprettythings.blogspot.gr/2013/01/the-remains-of-wardrobe-part-1.html"><i> this.</i></a><br />
<br />
I found this vintage bicycle print on <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/"><i>The vintage fairy</i></a> (where you can also find tons of vintage goodies) and had it printed in a photocopy shop. The reason why I didn't print it on my inkjet printer was that I wanted to avoid the ink to bleed during the procedure I intended to follow.<br />
<br />

<br />
I wanted to turn the crisp white paper (not so white in the picture) into vintage looking. So I made a strong tea and soaked the paper with it with a brush and tried not to do it evenly, on the contrary I made darker stains here and there.<br />

I let it dry and the result was exactly what I needed.<br />

The wardrobe door had been already taken to a glazier who had cut and glued a mirror in the lower part. I spread glue on the entire surface of the upper frame, pasted my image and covered it with a couple of coats of water based acrylic varnish, the kind we use on wood. <br />

For a little while I couldn't decide whether I liked the folds that where formed or not but in the end I found that they serve perfectly the style I wanted to achieve. We hang the mirror on the entrance wall, it is more decorative rather than practical since we can just see our bodies (only the kids are able to see their heads too, sometimes it 's a good thing to be short) but it adds depth and light to the space and exactly that old, worn feeling I wanted for this spot.<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
It's the end of September and I know that this blog was away for a very long holiday! To tell you the truth I didn't plan it exactly like this. At first I thought that even after the schools were closed I would be able to keep a part of my daily schedule and write at least a few posts. A few days later I had totally changed my mind. I had to keep the kids entertained at least a few hours per day, and to be honest I found myself totally incapable and reluctant to resist the blissful indolence of greek summer. I remind you that we live 500 meters from the beach, can you blame me? I was never known for my self-discipline anyway. <br />

Yesterday I felt like making something. Something easy and relaxing while watching tv. And I made this stack of beaded bracelets. Nothing sophisticated, the simplest of bracelets one can make. They become special though when they are combined all together. I used lava beads, crystal beads, dyed coral beads and <a href="http://www.oandncraftsupplies.com/greek-ceramic-beads.html">greek ceramic beads</a> and paid some extra attention to the color combination.<br />

Tip: Combine something shiny and glittery with mat, earthy materials in order to make the combination stand out.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello friends! Many days have passed since my last post. </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is partly due to the fact that </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">a big part of my time is spent on <a href="http://oandncraftsupplies.com/">this</a> and partly to the season of distraction has just started. Not that I am a person known for its self discipline but how can you resist to friends' requests for a walk on the beach (we live near the sea)? Can you say no to friends asking if the might visit you for coffee and catching up in the garden under the olive tree? No, you can't and you don't want to. So I have to decide that probably the next three months will not be as productive as I would like them to be. Of course the most counter productive factor of the season will be added soon: schools will close in a few days. </span></span></span></h1>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today I want to share with you my love for ceramics. I took pottery lessons for 2 years in my 20's and loved it. In fact I was seriously considering to do it proffesionally but finally decided that it was too tough and dirty for me. I really respect and admire ceramists. </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a lot of experimentation and work behind every beautiful piece of pottery. Here are a few of them I have discovered: </span></span></span></h1>

<i><a href="http://www.afewprettythings.blogspot.gr/2013/04/the-wandering-workshop-giveaway.html">The Wandering Workshop's giveaway</a> </i>ended on Saturday but as you see it took me a couple (o.k.maybe three days) to draw the winners: congratulations to<i> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fishesmakewishes">Fishes make Wishes</a></i> and <i><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Akamatra?ref=em">Akamatra</a></i>! Thanks to all who participated and of course many thanks to Athena and Jose of The Wandering Workshop with the amazing <i><a href="http://www.thewanderingworkshop.com/">handmade, eco-friendly toys</a></i>!<br />
<br />
I will leave you with some pictures of the roses in my vase to convince you and myself it is May, although it has been raining for the past three days. My garden has not a single spot of color, no flowers at all, just greens, grass, bushes, trees. That's why friends and neighgours are for, to bring us flowers from their gardens, like this magnificent roses bouquet. <br />

Last time I had a giveaway I used Rafflecopter, today I felt like doing it the old traditional way, in order to decide what I like more for the giveaways to come. So I wrote down all the names of the participants on little papers, once, twice or three times depending on how many social media each one of them followed me on. I put the papers in a bowl and my kids chose three of them.<br />
<br />

I decided to decorate my table a bit because for months all you could find on it was papers, toys and and a laptop. So I collected a few things to make a small decorative composition but couldn't decided where to put it on. I should make something. </div>

This frame hang on the wall of my old bedroom, and I thought it was just the right style and size for what I wanted to do.<br />
<br />
<br />

I also found this cute dotty fabric and two old handmade doilies.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I ironed the fabric well. I removed the print from the frame and used the cardboard on the back to cut the fabric in the right size. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I turned the frame upside down. I put first the doilies and on top of them the fabric in a way that the wrong side was on top. <br />
<br />
<br />

I tried to keep the fabric as stretched as possible and put the cardboard back.<br />

I was in the process of trying to organize a bit my craft supplies and maybe make some space (too difficult) when I thought that it would be nice to make a mix of craft supplies I don't need anymore and offer it to you. So I made three mixes like the one you see in the picture with various goodies like beads, embellishments, cords etc which you can use for your spring crafting, and three of you will have the chance to win one of them. <br />
The giveaway is open internationaly.<br />

The house we have moved in last summer has a tiny tiny bathroom. In fact there is a room that is going to become our master bathroom but it is not ready yet. So we have to put up with the small one until then. The biggest problem is that there is no storage space at all.<br />

I realized that the evening we moved in. Until then we stayed here only during July and August for our vacations when we brought only the necessary cosmetics and toiletries with us. But moving here for good I had to do something about the bags of things of that kind that came with us. I came up with two ideas: first to use the small space outside the bathroom to store toiletries. In this case I would need something thin enough, able to be squeezed in the 1,5 square meter between the bathroom and the kitchen, witch also includes four doors (you get the picture). Wondering which of our exixting stuff would fit, my eyes stopped on this Ikea dvd rack. We wouldn't need it anymore as the dvds would go elsewhere.<br />

So here's what I did (to be honest me and my husband did): <br />
<br />
I opened my magic closet and found this fabric, which is cotton but looks a bit like burlap because of its color, and this stick. I remember 3 sticks like this in my magic closet for years, the time
has come to use one of them at last! There are moments like this that I
am so happy for keeping everything because "I may do something with this
someday".<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aPOa4LyeHKJfHGwCEPBQSIfG7x-s3a0v6Tx0efavt425roawzllGTx_rKbHvr8x3B718XUuiS5NIDkqj1nOD16zkNJnKesawjgZuGjH-sKOA-GbETx2gTuOHU7sYjNoLDVtmehlHIwjD/s1600/ikea+hack+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aPOa4LyeHKJfHGwCEPBQSIfG7x-s3a0v6Tx0efavt425roawzllGTx_rKbHvr8x3B718XUuiS5NIDkqj1nOD16zkNJnKesawjgZuGjH-sKOA-GbETx2gTuOHU7sYjNoLDVtmehlHIwjD/s640/ikea+hack+3.jpg" width="478" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2F3Eleqzz2xwVsgAl73gOo3lFYtZQq3EcA6Hs9sV8KKIQIQhTRTrRv-Vgzu8UwbJC4BI765LO1MXY70N7rzsD7-ILFRL187DtakNX1POOXzhpk8nmIsgWVC6AzIAtTrIpSaHkz555Qn7/s1600/ikea+hack+4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We opened two holes with a drill and put two screwable hooks in them. <br />
We had chosen the size to fit the stick.We needed to open them a little with pliers. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOHf8FYidYPKihKGqciL4g3g7Yu3yqOiVRVV-MgFPR6B_ENrmlIFyl5-ASdmK-Z1AKsAKvIPyransQS22nzg9xq7TbT7u5Zvresne5sFwA9aTsGZzA1tlfe96Io-j1DzllzSZE07LywqV/s1600/ikea+hack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOHf8FYidYPKihKGqciL4g3g7Yu3yqOiVRVV-MgFPR6B_ENrmlIFyl5-ASdmK-Z1AKsAKvIPyransQS22nzg9xq7TbT7u5Zvresne5sFwA9aTsGZzA1tlfe96Io-j1DzllzSZE07LywqV/s320/ikea+hack.jpg" width="297" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMAElP3oeKhFiLPrf3RNQZBNpxjXFUwd7SukER86pvy3uSvv6uX5CR9pmcFpZRbm77vBtbeQEMe5BiboTTKwyFFdLncsxk7hoJadgsSAo-6r5t4DESqWOc5UqADce5SFGFvC3KkDaUuCy/s1600/ikea+hack+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMAElP3oeKhFiLPrf3RNQZBNpxjXFUwd7SukER86pvy3uSvv6uX5CR9pmcFpZRbm77vBtbeQEMe5BiboTTKwyFFdLncsxk7hoJadgsSAo-6r5t4DESqWOc5UqADce5SFGFvC3KkDaUuCy/s320/ikea+hack+2.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I teared the fabric in long strips, I didn't use scissors because I wanted them to fray. I made them equally long to the length of the rack from the hooks to the bottom plus 5cm and so wide that if put side by side they would totally cover the front of the shelves.<br />
<br />

I took a fabric strip and folded it over the stick so that approximately 5 cm of fabric were in the front side. I sawn a button to keep it in place. I did the same with all the strips.<br />

Hello my beloved readers! I don't want to make you feel jealous but this morning, for the second time this week I had my morning coffee at a cafe on the beach and it was amazing! I fully enjoy spring this year since we now live in the country near the sea. Spring was always my favorite season, now I love it even more.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at all the pretty things I discovered on the internet lately:<br />

Hello everyone, I have been away from my blog for many days because I am spending a lot of time trying to organize <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OandN">my craft supplies shop</a> and push it one step closer to what I want to make it. Spring is here and where we live it feels really wonderful. It awakened my slightly sleepy desire for home decor projects. Last Saturday though I felt the urge to make something small and quick for myself, something girly to go with the sunny weather.<br />

I opened my magic closet and took out some old denim and sweater pants (I have bags of them) and decided to make a brooch. I also found this cute pink dotted fabric and white lace.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I cut one circle of the sweater fabric and one of the denim fabric. I used the scalloped scissors to cut circles of the pink fabric. Each circle was slightly smaller than the previous. I also cut four equally sized circles of the lace fabric. <br />

I put one circle on top of the other and secured them with a few stitches in the centre. <br />

As soon as I finished I thought I could make another evening but not too formal brooch. I re-opened my magic closet and pulled out some black lace and a vintage button.<br />

I cut two circles of denim and sweater fabric and then pleated the lace in a free form way. I played a little with it until I liked the result.<br />

Not long ago my attention was drawn by some pictures of handmade wooden toys with fresh style and clever design. It was a surprise to find out that these toys are made in a small workshop on the agean island of Ios. I was curious to learn more about the people who create them.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-size: small;">So today I am <span style="font-size: small;">very happy to have <span style="font-size: small;">Athena and Jose over <span style="font-size: small;">at my blog <span style="font-size: small;">and "hear" what they have to say<span style="font-size: small;">: </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We are Jose <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">(30) from Madrid and Athena (29) from Crete, the artists of <a href="http://www.thewanderingworkshop.com/">"The Wandering Workshop"</a>. After small wanderings in Spain, Crete and Cyclades, we live in Ios where we have our workshop and we make wooden toys. The third member of the workshop is Charlie (6), our white Catalan cat who has a very important post in the workshop: he is responsible for the production control. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small;">We began to making toys two years ago in Tzia, where we lived and worked. We published our toys on the internet seven months ago and it's been only a month since we opened our Etsy shop. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We design and manufacture wooden toys using children safe and environment friendly materials. One characteristic of our toys is the possibility to be assembled by the children without the use of tools due to a system of wooden connections. This gives to our toys an educational value which works additionaly to the importance we give to the factor of imagination of the toy. Our toys are only sold online.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We believe that a house should be a comfortable place to live, which reflects the tastes, interests and experiences of his inhabitants. That's why we love houses that have stories to tell and are full of small treasures such as books, music, objects from travels, gifts from friends and indispensably ... pretty coffee mugs! We couldn't determine a specific home decor style and definetely not a style imposed by fashion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We like wood a lot and natural materials in general which create a warm ambience in the house. We like using in our daily life handmade objects, made and chosen with love. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As far as it concerns how we dress, we like clothes that make us feel comfortable, be ourselves. We like elegant but understated clothing.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We suggest the construction of furniture using wood from old furniture that are not in use any more. It is something that requires time and personal work but no money at all. The new piece of furniture can completely meet a specific need in the house and have exactly the color dimensions and shape we want. This is a solution we adopted not only for our workshop but for our house too. If only we had more free time... </span></div>

Maybe because we live in a small place, it satisfies our need for social contact. What is outside our temperament and tires us a little is everything that has to do with bureaucratic procedures. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Until now we have a small experience, it is not a long time since we began. However in this phase it 's a formula that works well for us. It allows us to dedicate a lot of time to our workshop, to the design of new toys and the production and despite the fact that we live in a remote place we don't feel secluded at all. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We believe that in Greece people value handmade objects more and more. I don't think we would even try to persuade someone to buy a handmade toy. This usually works like love at first sight.You see it and you fall in love! You want to have it in your space, use it, give it to someone you love. Handmade objects are unique. They carrie something from the crafter, something from his moment of creation. In regard to massively produced objects, the consumer doesn't know in what environment they were made, in what conditions those that are implemented in the productive procedure work, and what is the impact of the production in the environment. A handmade object has identity, personality and a story to tell. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We would like to create gradually a larger toy collection and see our toys be sold in places we like. We think that it is important to find our target group, which will be interested systematically in following the journey of the workshop and will be willing to put our toys in their personal space. We like traveling a lot and so we woul like to combine our work with travels. And since we talk about dreams... ours include a big sunny workshop in front of the sea with lots of tools, supplies, toys and favorite music! </span></div>

found out that apart from the two rooms in front, used previously by a painter of orthodox icons, there were more rooms in the back as well as a small yard.<br />

A few minutes walk and here we are at <a href="http://www.elenimarneri.com/"><i>Marneri Gallery</i></a>, which has been a very well known gallery of the city for years, and was recently relocated to this neighborhood under the Parthenon. Besides all the artwork that is hosted here, what makes this space unique is the fact that part of it stands above the ruins of ancient roman houses and spas. <br />

Later <i><a href="http://www.skouloudi.com/index.php?page=home&lang=en">Christina Skouloudi</a> </i>welcomed us in her design studio where she talked to us about her creative process and about how contemporary design connects and gives new reason to be to traditional techniques and professions that tend to become extinct. <br />

Strolling in Plaka is always pleasant. Our steps brought us to <a href="http://bylocalathens.com/categories/shops-workshops/hellenic-art-and-design.html"><i>Hellenic</i> <i>Art and Design</i></a><br />
where Callioppe Spyridonos talked to us about how she chooses design items for her shop and about various exhibitions and other actions that support greek design in which she is involved. Unfortunately I didn't manage to take good pictures so I stole a couple from HAD <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hellenic.artanddesign">FB page</a>.</i><br />

<br />
After this walk which I enjoyed a lot I have a few things to say.<br />
<br />
To <a href="http://www.atathens.org/home-gr.html"><i>Alternative Tours of Athens</i></a> and <a href="http://bylocalathens.com/"><i>by local Athens</i></a>: congratulations, great idea! <br />
<br />
To fans of fashion, jewelry, accessories, home decor items: stop dressing or decorating your home the way everyone else does. Look for unique, handmade things, they are all around us and they are made by some very talented people. Support them instead of some huge multinational company.<br />
<br />
To artists and crafters in Athens considering opening their own shop: think seriously about Makriyanni, an artistic neighborhood is taking shape there. You don't have to have a huge amount of money. Most of the people I wrote about in these two last posts worked with their own hands. Maria and Yiorgos of Sous Sol revealed the stones on the walls by digging the plaster themselves. There is nothing luxurious in their shops, just imaginative, stylish, low budget ideas. <br />
<br />
To visitors of Athens: I hope you will not want to bring back home typical ugly, kitchy souvenirs from Plaka. If you read this post and the previous one, you know where to find well designed, handmade objects. <br />
<br />
By local Athens has printed and distributes a map of Athens with interesting "handmade" addresses which you can find in hotels like City Circus, A for Athens, and coffee shops and restaurants like Makalo, Magaze, Mama Roux, 42 Bar.<br />

Last week I learned about the existence of two very interesting groups of people: <a href="http://www.atathens.org/home-en.html"><span style="color: #444444;"><i>Alternative Tours of Athens</i></span></a> and <a href="http://bylocalathens.com/"><i>by local Athens</i></a>.<br />

<br />
ATA is organizing tours of special interest such as architecture, photography, biking etc. in order to help you know the real Athens and discover its hidden treasures. If you are not the type of visitor that will be satisfied with merely the usual sightseeing tour or if you live here but feel that there is still much to learn about your own city, ATA are your people.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
By local Athens is a community of independent designers that live and work in Athens, who joinend forces to support each other in this difficult economic situation the country is in and to promote the unique handmade things they create. <br />
<br />
The two of them together offered us a very pleasant and interesting Saturday afternoon, by taking us for a walk around Makriyianni, an old neighborhood of Athens, under the Acropolis and next to the beautiful and touristic Plaka, where lately an artistic and creative wind is blowing. I enjoyed very much this walk because I met some very creative people and their beautiful spaces and stole a bit of their positive attitude. <br />
<br />
<br />
Our first stop was <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mures.feles.et.tintinnabulum">Tintinnabulum</a></i> (meaning small bell in latin). I have read about it before on the internet but was very happy to visit myself. Athena Drakopoulou found this old woodcarver's workshop, which is part of a 1930s building, deserted and in bad situation and after months of personal work she transformed it into a magical place, where she sells her handmade home decor items and jewelry.<br />

Did you notice all these holes on the wall? Athena found hundreds of nails as the previous owners used them to hang anything they wanted to have handy. It took her months to take them off and she is not sure she is finished yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
The next stop was at <a href="http://fbrk.gr/"><i>Fabrika</i></a>, where Evridiki Tsistraki runs her shop and also has her small workspace. I know Evridiki from Etsy's greek team and we met in a couple of craft fairs in the past. She makes jewelry like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/57094711/blackboard-ring?"><i>this </i></a>gorgeous ring I have myself, mainly from silver but she also carries various artifacts by other greek designers. You can find Evridiki's jewelry online<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Evrydiki?ref=seller_info"><i> here</i></a>.<br />
