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 love to walk here. In this halo of green and bumblebee. I know perfectly that is just a few meters of bliss, where I know the beginning and its ending. But still, every day, the wind whisks the leafs differently. The green is less or more vivid, and the raindrops erratically create puddles at my feet for me to splash it around childishly. Some say that the happiest people are the ones that see beauty in small pleasures like this. I intend to be sure of it. . . . . #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 entered the room as a stranger, to those books, prints and paper. In that corner I hanged my hat, my dress and left an open heart, open container. The night rain would hit the window in a slow lull cadency. The morning light would splash the floor, the curtains and found the gap in between to shine all the way to the warm layers where I used dream under. The mismatched textures, the beams on the ceiling, the fallen petals of perennial arrangements, were like threads to a greater living. One only fully glimmered when lying on that lounge chair, with the sun hitting high on the autumnal firmament. Edges of my world in my review mirror. . . . . . #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 #adelasterlespetiteslandesjourney
  • Let me rest here for a jiff in this mellow shade of green. Lean my unbraided hair beneath this hoary olive tree and descry the result of time, in this fleeting youth of mine. A robin alights on a branch, a matey in this endeavour I’m certain. A ladybug finds its way into my hand, haven’t seen one in a what looks like forever. Verdure scuffs on my dress, waves in a rhythm dedicated solely to a very distinctive expression of nature. And I can’t help to ponder, if I’d remain still for more than a century, would vines climb that ladder, squirrels and foxes find a dome under and if I would be nothing but a portrait of marble in a somewhat forgotten garden. . .

  • This little screen of mine. Recipient of my dreams. The one that as seen the nudity in me, stamps of my inaccuracies. You, that have shared storms, dust, fears and never faltered in the turning wheel. Steadily since the beginning of the year. Dated Spring of 1936. . . . . . #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 love the smell of baking in the oven, it is like a prologue of a day well spent. I wonder how many spices are intricate in the kitchen cabinets, on the tapestries and books in the library and how they attenuate over the years, how they change upon generations and take another scent more in tone with the legatee of those rooms. My favorite redolences are perfectly positioned between my everyday apartment and the farm upstate. One has all the warm comfort of lazy nights cuddled in by the sofa, coffee and chestnut cakes with a whisk of creme fraiche. The other, holds the freshness of rosemary and orange, of wet grass and linen garments. Late nights playing bridge and literature by the fire. One couldn’t be more perfect than the other. What about you? Could you describe it? . . . . #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 #adelasterlespetiteslandesjourney
  • There are so many corners in my life. As an art director, as a photographer and one I particularly love that you can find here: as a visual storyteller. This is the ultimate expression of me. The dreamer, the pensive demeanor, the catcher of moments and the appreciator of candure. And I love coming here and scroll all that I’ve lived and loved like a book filled with scribbling notes on aside and photos hanging on rusty paperclips. I love it all. Even the not so favorable captions or the dullest of captures. It’s a story that writes itself, tenderhearted with life - life, of its own. . . . . . #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 #adelasterlespetiteslandesjourney
