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.

  • Everything is mild in Portugal. From the sheer living to the seasons that wraps it up. I don’t mind it at all, specially when in a steep of a hill I find reminisces of autumn still. The grapes fall elegantly between rouged leafs and feel ready to be plucked and turned into sweet cracking raisins. How not to love such a country. . . . . #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 #farmtotable #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings #livecolorfully
  • Everything slows down a bit on fridays. People buy flowers in the corners market to fill the rooms over the weekend with something that resembles a little bit more like Spring, despite the cold temperatures. Some call their friends, meet over drinks. Some head the movies or go out for dinner. Some tuck in their kids and read them a story. And some, like me, tight a scarf around a neck and run to the local pharmacy to buy something to ease this flu I’m under. And with my foot out the door, runny nose, red eyes and rain pouring copiously outside, I remembered that a homemade remedy might just do the trick. Have some citrus tea and pour some honey in it, my grandma would say. I closed the door and gave that one a try. Who knows, it might work right? Happy Friday everyone. . P.S.: thank you sweet @inesananasehortela for the cute bowl from @doceramica its so very lovely . . . . . #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 #farmtotable #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings #livecolorfully
  • 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
