Happy Sunday to you all!

A Christmas watch story!

Once upon a time,

there was a little redhead girl, 

living in the great city of London,

who loved watches!

She found their mechanism

the most fascinating thing in the world

and so decided to spend the rest of her life

creating the most beautiful watch ever!

She started collecting contacts, coils, stems and circuits

and kept them all in a secret box under her pillow.

Until one day

that her house

was caught into fires and she was forced to evacuate her room

so quick, that she didn't have the time to collect her box.

*   *   *

Months later,

just on time for Christmas she dreamed of Santa Claus, 

asking her what would she like for Christmas.

my box , she whispered, that is all I want for Christmas...

*   *   *

On Christmas eve,

the city was covered into lights and 

people were visiting the Christmas markets,

watching the pantomimes

and buying mulled wine.

It was the happiest day of the year!

The little girl slept 

while listening to the carols tunes

and dreamed of her lost secret box.

The next day,

the city was white,

covered with a thick layer of snow, 

but that was not the reason why the little girl was smiling.

Under the tree there were Christmas presents.

Boxes wrapped in colourful paper,

writing the name of the recipient on one side.

Her box was the tiniest one,

she exclaimed 

my secret box!

Little did she know though..

When she opened her present,

her eyes lightened

and her smile was as wide as her face.

There in her tiny box,

was laying the most beautiful watch,

she had ever imagined!

A white, elegant watch,

even better than the one she was dreaming to make herself.

Santa Claus made her dream come true.

he didn't offer her the lost secret box, 

but something way better,

the most beautiful watch ever made!

Let's talk about winter shopping, shall we? 

It has been very cold lately

and creating winter clothing wishlists

is my favourite thing to do during afternoons. 

At the moment I have a thing

for black, white and grey. 

I know that the closer Christmas gets,

the more red I will be wearing,

so now is the time to enjoy wearing

as more nude and pastel colours as possible.

This coat reminds me of a white one my sister has

and I can't stop laughing

while thinking the both of us

wearing our coats,

it would be like the teddy bear family in the town!

What do you think of my wishlist? 

What do you like the most?

Some inspiration

If I may call myself the Londonian or Londonier,

 then my sister is the Edinburghian

and is there a more beautiful city than it?

I have visited Edinburgh 

once in the past

and was mesmerised

by the beautiful buildings

and landscapes.

Knowing that my sister,

is living there

it makes me want to travel

so badly.

One day soon...

P.S: Speaking of my sister

she runs two giveaways on her blog. 

The one of them is for Topshop

so head over,

and try your luck

 it is worth it!

There are somedays,

like today,

where life keeps me so busy 

that it feels like being

in a remote control.

Well if you feel like me,

then take a break,

grab a cup of tea

and start from the beginning!

Oh, and don't forget to breathe..

Beanie, the best hair accessory

Hi friends,

A quick post to let you know that

we have added two new listings on our family Etsy shop, 

and when I say family shop I really mean it! 

Mum knitted these lovely beanies, 

I modelled for dad, 

who gladly took the pictures 

and my sister did the editing. 

Isn't that team work?

You can find these beanies 

along with some other wonderful crochet

 and knitted creations here. 

They are free shipping and

ship after 3 days of your payment receipt,

so no more cold ears!

The weather is getting 

really cold in England!

How is it in the rest of the world?

Let me know how's in your area :)
