Some photos from the most beautiful (new) restaurant in town - Dama. I once told the owner how I envy him the wonderful Eames Vitra chairs and he always tease me about them from then on. :)

At the end of 2011 I received a great surprise from Nina, a wonderful artist and blogger. She kindly send me her wonderful print and zine and I haven't thank her here yet so today is the perfect day to do it. :) At first I wanted to postpone this post and show you her beautiful print when my boyfriend and I would move in to our new home (I imagined to post her print with houses and write something like "we're home" or something similar) but I couldn't wait since this will not happen over night. So... thank you Nina! (I am looking forward to see her new works, don't you?) 

Also big thanks to all of you dear readers, I really appreciate your words of encouragement! I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday!*

My dear and I spent this cold afternoon working really hard in our future house. This project got bigger than we expected when we decided to do it and things are progressing slower and on grander scale than we thought at first. But I can't help myself not to dream about every little detail of interior even if we are still surrounded with concrete and dust. :)

Three simple things that made me happy today: bouquet of tulips I bought few hours ago, ray of light on our tiny walls (and off course outside as well) and having time to watch one part of Grand Designs series. :)
Which were your simple delights today?

Famous works... but in mosaic technique. :)

Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli (part 1)

I visited mosaic school in Spilimbergo, Italy today and was amazed by what I saw. So many great mosaics that it makes your head spin. Thousands of little stone pieces, so many colors, creative solutions... all from under the hardworking and patient hands of students and their mentors. 

"Mosaic is light, movement, color and matter: a field of forces with fascinating expressive potential."

Bunch of photos without the red thread. They have only two things in common: they were shot in 2011 and prepared for updates but somehow didn't make it to get published.

Happy new year 2012! Make it memorable (and fill it with colorful palette of your emotions).***
