Little treasures from last weekend

I am still enjoying bits and bites (literal sense!) of last weekend, to procrastinate as much as I can...

'cause this weekend I am moving from the LES to Hell's Kitchen! It will be very exciting, but also very tiring.

On the way to Philadelphia...

My booty @ "Nice Things", lovely store and fun gals there!!!

Button from Silvia, my crafty (and of course silly) friend! :)

... and decadent New Orleans pecan pralines!

Doubly delicious because part of the proceeds will be donated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

OK, time to pack now...

Pick a Boo!

Balloons are playing mimicry, catch them if you can! 

[pssst, did I tell you I LOVE balloons?!? :) ]

Parallel worlds

Thank you rain, to leave behind dreamy, parallel worlds!

WOW, MY HEART IS JUMPING WITH DELIGHT!

Oh my, my "orange" photos have been selected by

 

Check their blog out, they are AMAZING! 

(and these are my photos...

I am sooo happy,  can't stop laughing!!!)

From a backyard

My weekend in Philadelphia has been exceptionally good.

In a backyard, I found a whole world...

 

 

More discoveries to come...

1st month and 500+ views!

Phew, got back just in time!

Today Upgemini is 1 month old and had 500+ views so far.

Hope you are enjoying it :)

(PS soon details about the delicious cookie in this photo)

A weekend getaway

Today, my very good friend Silvia and I will be heading to Philadelphia,

for a crafty weekend. I'll resume posting on Sunday,

to celebrate the first month of my little blog!

Just an amazing sunset

(from Red Hook, of course...)

How to cheer up a magician

Awww he looks so tired after hours of illusions and prestidigitations

(I bet, just spelling this word makes me tired!)

Do you think that a rabbit to put in his hat

would cheer him up?

Gray, why not?

Who said gray is not a cheerful color?

Doesn't she have looks that kill? (in many ways.... ihihihi)

Welcome gray days! :)

Alternative Green

I guess baby sprout is wondering what it's doing

in an apartment on the 6th floor.

Anyway, it is doing OK, just taking it slowly this week. 

So, today I will introduce you my new fave salad

arugula, endive, figs, caramelized pecans, and goat cheese

with red wine reduction,

divine!

Charming light

Light can simply make little things beautiful.

A yummy Sunday brunch

and a very fashionable couple.

Bright week to you!

I tawt I taw a trolly

Red Hook is full of wonders!

I am in love with these trolleys ❤

Guess what I have got...

Tomatoes or candy?

Candy, of course! :)

Good morning

I know, it's almost noon. So lazy today...

On my way to work

Of course it turned out to be a good day.

Life as a comic strip

Speech balloons are floating in the sky

These would be mine! :)

Green Monday #2

Day #10, looking for the sun

(fingers crossed)

Wildlife weekend

The weather is still great and wildlife is taking advantage.

This weekend I saw bees on red basil, mantis, amazing flowers...

 and captain rat!

I shouldn't...

have had that extra glass of prosecco...

 hehehehe

So pretty

Last night I went out to celebrate the weekend prelude.

The drink I had was ok, but hey,

look at its pretty decoration!

Sugar burst

Having one of those days, when all I want to eat are cookies and cakes! 

:)

Thank you, balloons!

It has been a chilly and grayish day.

Luckily, balloons are still in the mood for a chat on the street.
