Fall in love with Fall- the best quiet moments

In fall everything slow downs and staying at home feels just great. Little changes are in order- new table clothe, new candles, new flowers. However, some things stay the same- like fall recipes which I’m always excited to come back to, for example this one for simple apple pastries. Just few ingredients- puff pastry, apples, nuts, cinammon and squeeze of lemon juice; few minutes in the oven and we have the best coffee company ever!

Na jesieni wszystko spowalnia tempo i leniwe weekendy w domu wypadaja po prostu swietnie. Male domowe zmiany, nowy obrus, kilka swieczek i kwiatow poprawiaja humor. Powrot do jesiennych tradycji i klasykow- chociazby takich jak te pyszne jablkowe ciastka- rowniez. Sprawdzony przepis, kilka skladnikow- ciasto francuskie, jablka, orzechy, cynamon i sok z cytryny; kilka minut w piekarniku i mamy najlepszy dodatek do weekendowej kawy!

 

 

 

Fall Story- my autumn art journal 2

Hello! I’m stopping by with another page from my Autumn art journal. I love to feel the swing of art journaling again, it’s such an awesome way to experiment with new medias and color combinations! Let’s have this morning coffee together today- there is something magical in stealing few minutes before work to drink coffee and dream your day!

Hej! Wpadam dzis z kolejnymi stronami z mojego jesiennego journala! Uwielbiam wpadac w rytm chlapania farbami i ozdabiania kolejnych stron wspmnien, taki journal to swietna wymowka do probowania nowych technik i mediow! To co, zapraszam na poranna kawke- dla mnie zawsze jest cos magicznego w kilku momentach skradzionych przed wyjsciem do pracy i spedzonych  na bujaniu w oblokach z kubkiem aromatycznego napoju w dloni!

So it’s Friday- when did the week pass? I hope your weekend will be full of creativity and good thoughts!

NO i mamy piatek- kiedy zlecial nam kolejny tydzien? Zycze Wam weekendu wypelnionego kreatywna energia i pozytywnymi myslami!

 

Fall in love with Fall- vanilla

I can’t believe I came up with this soooo late, but truly this is what I love during the autumn and winter months- indulging in Vanilla-Everything. I love when the days get colder and I start snuggling up with soft jumpers and scarfs and everyday in the morning use a bit of this vanilla perfume. They are sweet, sweet, sweet and yet not too heavy and tiring. Since I was in high school they’ve always meant for me beginning of fall…:)

Sama nie wierze, ze dziele sie ta moja jesienna milostka tutaj tak pozno- przeciez od wielu, wielu lat jedna z moich ulubionych stron jesieni jest mozliwosc zanurzenia sie w wanilii od stop do glow. Schemat jest prosty- chlodniejsze dni, miekkie swetry, cieple szale, a na dodatek- kropla waniliowych perfum– tych ukochanych, cudownie slodkich, a przy okazji nie meczacych i nie przesadnie ciezkich. Od liceum, ten zapach przenosi mnie w jesienne klimaty … :)

Fall Story- my autumn art journal

I’m on the Autumn high these days :) I started my autumn art journal album filled with colors and memories of autumn days. It’s fun and I can work on it in free time, add some gesso here and there when I have spare moment, leave it to dry and splash some paint before leaving to work. Well the busy girl needs to find the way to make things she loves work- doesn’t she? :) This way I finished some pages capturing my fall moods and honestly- I love them! I’m going to continue this journal through fall until December when I can start my December Daily album once again!

Jesien uderzyla mi do glowy :) Zaczelam prowadzic jesienny art journal wypelniony kolorami i wspomnieniami ostatnich tygodni. To fajny projekt, moja chwila oderwania od codziennej bieganiny i moment na kreatywny oddech. Moge nad nim pracowac w swoim tempie, rozsmarowac warstwe gessa, zostawic do wyschniecia a rano przed praca chlapnac farba tu i tam a po jakims czasie koncze wpis. Coz takie zycie, trzeba znalezc sposoby na wplecenie tego co sie kocha w pracowity dzien:) Udalo mi sie skonczyc juz kilka takich jesiennych stron lapiacych codziennosc i szczerze- uwielbiam je. Zamierzam pracowac w tym art journalu do konca jesieni, a od grudnia wpasc po raz kolejny w Grudniodnikowe szalenstwo :)

 

 

Art journaling is seriously one of my most favorite ways to relax and I love making time for it. Mixing colors and textures is really inspiring and the fact that every page gives a fresh start and endless possibilities often allows me to switch off and just be here and now.

Journalowanie to jeden z moich sposobow na relaks i uwielbiam wykradac chwile na chlapanie farbami. Mieszanie kolorow i faktur naprawde daje inspiracyjnego kopa, kazda czysta strona czeka na swoja porcje farby i odciaga uwage od codziennych stresow, pozwala skupic sie na tu i teraz.

Fall in love with Fall- cinammon rolls

 

We wait for them all year long because these pumpkin cinammon rolls never taste better than in fall! We bake the pumpkin, mash it into pure and bake these delicious, sweet and spicy treats. Nothing makes better breakfast. Paired with a cup of coffee can change any dreadful morning into great start of the day.

Czekamy na nie caly rok bo te dyniowe slimaczki cynamonowe nigdy nie smakuja lepiej niz na jesieni. Kupujemy pierwsza dynie, powoli pieczemy ja w piekarniku i ugniatamy pure. Chwile potem wyrabiam ciasto drozdzowe i formuje te przepyszne, slodko-pikantne buleczki. Nic nie nadaje sie lepiej na jesienne sniadanie. Cynamonowe zawijance, kubek kawy i mila rozmowa- dzieki temu nawet najgorszy poranek zmienia sie w super poczatek dnia. 

Week In Photos- Autumn yellows!

It’s our 4th autumn in Istanbul and I think it might be the prettiest one so far! It’s fairly warm, I see more and more yellow leaves around, I feel creative and motivated to do things! Discovering the coffee shops continues, making art continues, playing with fashion continues- we make this autumn happy! And the colors around help us to stay optimistic too- I love autumn yellows!

To nasza czwarta jesien w Stambule i chyba jak na razie moja ulubiona- najbardziej jesienna :) Jest cieplo, coraz bardziej zolto dookola, chce mi sie ciagle cos robic i nie narzekamy na zadne jesienne przesilenia-marudzenia. Odkrywanie kawiarni trwa w najlepsze, tworzenie, zabawy z moda- jesien jest fajna i pozytywna w tym roku, a cudne kolory tylko dodaja nam energii i poprawiaja humor- kocham jesienne zolcie!

Fall in love with Fall- coffee dates

 

In Fall we love to discover. The weather is colder, going out is more fun than in summer heat so we discover the places nearby and scout new coffee shops in Istanbul! There are so many great places which have opened recently nearby so we love arranging few hours trips and tasting coffee! We still have some new ones on our list and it makes autumn weekends much more exciting! Yesterday we looked on Europe map and planned an epic trip which I hope one day we can make real! Happy Monday guys!

Na jesieni uwielbiamy odkrywac nowe miejsca. Pogoda robi sie przyjemnie chlodniejsza, idealna na spacery i podczas takich wypadow udalo nam sie odkryc kilka nowych, fajnych kawiarni w Stambule! Wiele miejsc otworzylo sie niedawno wiec staramy sie znalezc kilka chwil w weekend na wypad na kawe! Na naszej liscie miejsc do odwiedzenia nadal sa takie, w ktorych jeszcze nie bylismy i uwielbiamy to ekscytujace uczucie probowania naszego ulubionego napoju w nowych, fajnych wnetrzach! Wczoraj podczas takiej kawiarnianej eskapady otworzylismy mape Europy i planowalismy rozne dalsze i blizsze podroze, ktore … moze-kiedys…. uda nam sie zrealizowac :) Cudnego poniedzialku! 

Fall in love with Fall – pumpkins

 

I love, love, love autumn! There are so many great things happening around, weather is changing, mornings and nights are cooler, I can wear layers, evenings get cozy with blankets and candles.. love it! So from now on until I run out of ideas every Monday I’ll stop by here with photo of one thing which I love autumn for! First things first- pumpkins! I brought those tiny babies from our honeymoon and love how beautiful they look in our sitting room!

Kocham, kocham, kocham jesien! Tyle pieknych rzeczy dookola, chlodne poranki i wieczory, nowe ciuchy, leniwe wieczory.. uwielbiam! Wiec tak sobie pomyslalam, ze w kazdy jesienny poniedzialek podziele sie tu jakims drobiazgiem, ktory dla mnie czaruje jesien. Na poczatek- dynie! Te malenstwa przyjechaly ze mna z podrozy poslubnej i uwielbiam to jak dodaja koloru naszemu salonowi!

 

What do you love fall for? Share, let’s charge our batteries with some good vibes! And have a great Monday!

A Wy za co lubicie jesien? Podzielcie sie, naladujmy pozytywami baterie! I cudnego poniedzialku!

Project Life- autumn weekends

Hello and happy Monday!

It’s been a while since I shared some of my Project Life pages. I love this album and try to work on it whenever I find some spare time (which isn’t easy these days!) and recently I managed to catch up! Here is one of my autumn spreads- I wanted to document some kind of our weekend routine this season.

 

products: Chic Tags Happy Place, School Home, and exclusive October and November kits

I love how this pages turned out- they might be my favorite ones in this album! The mix of products in happy colors helped to show autumn mood and the photos really pop here!

I can’t wait to share with you more of my pages! I really love looking through my finished layouts and it doesn’t bother me at all that there aren’t done week after week. I have a lovely look through summer and fall in this book and all the important things which happen in our life are set in order and highlighted- I know this album will be a treasure to keep for years!

Things to Remember- Fall Heather

Hello!

I’m so excited for November- we have had beautiful October full of sunshine and warm days and it doesn’t look like the weather will change soon- I love autumn like this! For next we planned the little renovation in our house and while my Fab was buying paint and other stuff in a building store he came across beautiful heather- he made me amazing surprise as it’s one of my favorite autumn plants and I miss it in Turkey a lot! Today’s scrapbooking layout is also about heather- the photographs are from last year trip to Poland and papers come from Lemon Owl!

papers: Lemon Owl Attic Door and Around The Corner, stamps: Sodalicious, embellishments: Basic Grey, Prima

Making this page about autumn but in not-so-autumn colors was really a refreshing experience. We always think about fall in yellow-orange-red-brown color combination and as much as I love these shades sometimes breaking the routine is good and inspiring! I added some more pop of color to the page by fun accents made with mixed acrylic paints- I really missed making my hands dirty! Is it time to dig out my art journal?

 

As it’s Friday morning in here I’ll make my way to the kitchen to brew some coffee and start this end of the week with a full speed!
