The Good Old-Fashioned is a journal that captures the intimacy of halcyon moments in the bucolic and provincial way of life. Sometimes abode roaming in the pantry, between family and friends and often wandering to some undiscovered places. It's in the poetry of the simple things that is found the beauty of mundane life.

  • I remember then, that if there was something extraordinary to be made, mine would be born out of ordinary. I remember wishing it really hard, like a child wishes a falling star - that I wanted my life to be made out of that. Of communal gatherings, walks on the farm. Made out of stories that unveils like nature, and images that echoes like sonnets. This year, I am hosting a few workshops (soon to be advertised) where I’ll share my vision of the uniqueness of everyday in beautiful venues and amazing company. A wish made truth, like that day when I stumbled upon this place. . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • Spent the entire day making plans and undoing them. Thinking about where the road will take me this year. Putting aside some work related journeys to Sweden and Italy so far, I am still to figure where to go on a very deserving vacation with family.

  • So, apparently my metabolism is of a middle aged woman, according to a personal trainer that decided to do me an evaluation (whyyy!?) I was surprised because I thought that it was of a really old woman, so I think I must give him thanks in a way (not!). It’s not my fault that I deslike running or doing exercises that only exist to make one suffer. I’m just fine riding my horse and taking long walks in nature. Imagining shapes in the clouds and eat delicious cookies while at it... My problem is I cannot undo this information, so I’m starting as of tomorrow: swimming. You are thinking - what do I care / good for you. But no. The guy didn’t liked the swimming part either, saying I need something stronger, to boost my outer (not inner?) youth! That those classes are for older people, not adequate for me. Well if my body is of an old lady, my classes are of preference of old people, and I consider myself an old soul, I think the main idea to hang onto is: old. Moi, myself and I. And I’m ok with that! 😂🙈 . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • Within a few miles I knew it was a mistake to venture in a bleak afternoon such as this. The towering clouds of this middle march days are very much in tune with the spring I’m used to. I could barely see any commotion on the streets where the plum trees bloom. People take refuge in their homes to see it all soften into more cheerful view. I thought there was ample time to make it back with a collection of fluorescent wood, but as soon as I turned that road in a shaped hook, a sprinkle deluge made it all fall down into dust. Teenage daughters ran to take shelter beneath the stoop. The young butcher covered his head with the latest news, and I kept going, with my hair muddled, but very much assured that this walk would not be gratuitous. . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • The lights are down. The firmament painted gold finished the day in soft hues and shadows. Looking back, to that cove, where I’ve placed my blanket, laid beneath the nature’s crown and sang notes of reason and cackle, I can tell that I’ll miss those moments. That impermanent detachment from home. It is hard to stay true to your inner childhood, to walk the land with your feet exposed. To wear your heart where your mouth is and to keep your dreams on the top of your agenda. . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • Quiet and still, is how I feel after putting my heart in blanket pages while peeling some tangerines. Relief. I close my diary and wrap an old brown cord to it, preventing letters, photographs and pressed flowers to fall down while carrying it from the kitchen table to the little armoire I keep in the library. I have a shelf full of memoirs like that, some have been closed for many years, waiting for courage to see light again, and others are an endless source of laughter and complaints. A cornball thing for the grand part of it, no doubt. But also a sense of whole of all that I’ve been and where I am now. . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
