Simple pleasures



Lately I like to wake up (quite) early in the morning,  I slowly drink my cup of tea and I spread my bread with butter and jam... when i come back home from work I love to browse a magazine and think about my personal life projects... yes, I love to take my time and I like doing things at my pace.
Work can be very stressful so why not... one should enjoy simple pleasures in life!

  1. Grazie per la visita e per l'apprezzamento
    Certo che il tuo non sembra un blog italiano...
    a parte la lingua in cui scrivi ma anche i blogs che segui...
    ma dove vivi?
    Un abbraccio

  3. Ciao Mari e 1000 grazie per essere passata a trovarmi. Al momento vivo in Abruzzo ma in passato per lavoro ho trascorso lunghi periodi in Inghilterra, Francia e Germania dove ho iniziato a sviluppare un certo interesse per alcuni blog di arredamento. Mi piace molto il nord europa e non per esterofilia ma sicuramente per passione in effetti continuo a seguire molto i blog scandinavi e anglosassoni, ma sto ampliando la mia blog list italiana ;) un abbraccio anche a te!

    purtroppo raramente in Italia si trova qualcosa di simile
    ti ringrazio di avermi inserito nella blogroll
    ma sai che non trovo la finestra dei followers?
