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.

  • My hands are covered in ink. I’ve been sketching endlessly, room after room, kitchen cabinets, door framing, mud rooms. Fireplaces, libraries and entryways with paneling woods. I’m starting to remember why I studied architecture in the first place, and how my love for it got lost somewhere in a strange momentum. I’m glad I’m finally making use of all those years in uni, and seeing my future household bloom in its interim. . . . . #littlestoriesofmylife #momentsofmine #aquietstyle #verilymoment #inspiremyinstagram #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #feelfreefeed #theartofslowliving #postitfortheaesthetic #momentslikethese #alifeofintention #capturingcolour #lovelysquares #theeverydayproject #documentlife #petitejoys #tv_living #thehappynow #simplepleasures #livethelittlethings #momentslikethis #darlingmovement #pursuepretty #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings #livecolorfully
  • Meet me on the end of that road. Over the fallen leaves and where a dome of light can be seen from above. I promise, it is worth it. Don’t expect an immensity of mountains, a perfect line of meadows on end or a silver lake that still, makes you see in doubles. Nothing of alike. Maybe you’ll even see some plainness in it, an ordinary mixture of emerald and sage percase. Trust me, you’d have to stand very still to see the dance between butterflies and bumblebees, the delicate heather that to the minimal gust joins that endearing spectacle. But I shall say no more, some things are a thousand times elevated when shown, are you coming along? . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #autumnmood #lifeandthyme #fallvibes #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • My thoughts linger on those puff white clouds. They see shapes and figures that have remain unchanged since childhood. The wild wind blows and shows a rabbit diving into a hole, a peak of mountain or a flight of a dove. Thoughts in the clouds are like dreams, and dreams are like hope wearing a body of someone who believes deeply in it so. I am forever the former. But also the wandering latter. An uneven mixture of sorts, with a bit (tiny bit) of seriousness. . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #autumnmood #lifeandthyme #fallvibes #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • On the last slice of that kings cake - a delicacy specially enjoyed on the 6th of January here in Portugal, that coincides with the end of the festivities - I took a good look around my living room. How the tree stands tall and fills that odd corner. How the wreaths hang perfectly in the wall, and the cat wraps itself over that basket with mistletoe and holly. It is to be the last Christmas in this house, since we are on the verge of moving to a new place. It is a mixture of longing and excitement, for all that is yet to come and all that remains in those cranked planks of wood on the floor. I’m supposed to start wrapping it all, as tradition dictates, the decorations, the candle holders. But I guess, this year, it can wait a while longer. . . . #letterstochristmas . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #autumnmood #lifeandthyme #fallvibes #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • I’ve been living on a eccentric world. Days melting into each other without notice, nights appearing suddenly on the horizon and me, composedly watching it from a comfy chair. It is kind of a bliss, but as of tomorrow I’m grabbing my bicycle and heading out into the forest. I’ll grab my camera, that has been collecting dust this last few days, and create something new. . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #christmastime #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #advent #christmas #lifeandthyme #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • As I style the new years table, display the candles, the seafood plate and the cristal chalices that will be filled with champagne at the ring of midnight, I review my last year. Everything moves faster when you are having fun, they say, and I cannot aquiesce with more spirit than I do today. I’ve visited new places, challenged myself deeper. I dared to dream big and found comfort in the smallest and ordinary. I embraced family, relished old friends and treasured new found ones. I did it all, with an open heart, never fading, always appreciating and percolating every minute that is this joy of living. It is fitting, I guess, that the last photo of this year, should be taken by another - the incredibly talented Sina @liveitspoetry - in my ambience, where I am most happy, sharing a table and stories with others. Thank you all for being there. And may the new year be brimming with love, that is my wish to you all 🥂 . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #christmastime #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #advent #christmas #lifeandthyme #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
