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.

  • For what I have, is as eternal as memories live in ones mortal. It is carved in stone like a sphinx through the aging scene, never perishing, never tumbling. It's getting clearer and clearer that I'm nothing but a bearer of notes, scribblings on a side journal that do not need to have a grandiose pose but the axiom of those perishing seconds. And I am happy so. A place where beauty ignites without endorsement. Like a coincidental field of ferns. Or a cake standing alone on the edge of simplicity. I live to capture these moments, they are but the ozone for my being. Reliving each juncture the elation of being present, recurrently, till I'm old and wrinkled, preferably in good company. . . . . . #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
  • I had no intent on stopping by instagram today. I was to enjoy my birthday in the quiet of my day, amongst family and friends. But the ultimate has been thinned with what I’ve been finding here over the years. I’ve made such incredible friends, overseas and overland. Some with languages I couldn’t possible comprehend but with the gestures that only those who share the same core can truly understand. It’s the best kind if you’d ask me. So, in a day such as this, it’s only fitting that I’d share it with you too, between the green and the trees, straw hat where timid smiles appeals. .

  • That chair, that I lay my baskets and apron, twisted in cherry colors and rested by the light of a spring summer evening. That chair that has cradled infants and saw infinity in a drop of a rapture. That counts more years than I dare to guess, seen quarrels and embraced a youthful lovers ending. Shed a light into new beginnings, and held a mother’s trembling knees as her daughter walked the stairs to meet the day of her wedding. The chair that now sleeps in that corner unaware of the crackling wooden boards beneath her. Wobbled still. To lay my baskets. My apron. My quill. . . . . . #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
  • A bliss, is what these past few days have been. The garden. The forest. The trees and the company. For me it’s how Easter should be, surrounded by friends and family. Laughing over an insane quantity of sweets and almonds, of egg hunting and flowers blooming. Wish you all a beautiful Easter Sunday. . . . . . . #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
  • Encircled by the tallest reed, looking for a place that more resembled a boulevard of trees, I saw a dance of birds singing spring. I was carrying the cake and the strawberries, something I’m confessedly nut over this time of the year (as you might have gather from my latest feed). I get now, looking back, that perhaps it was not the ideal moment to venture myself between rocks and creeks with that basket full of goods, just to better understand the commotion of those cute little creatures. But the simple fact is, behind that overgrown wheat was a lake where the foliage kissed the stream and a pontoon was waiting for me on that summer like afternoon. Sometimes you have to follow what calls you, despite how apparently unusual it may be. I get inspiration all around me, where do you get yours? . . . . #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
  • Someday, as you lay awake wasting dreams, you’ll remember those spring days spent over the pontoon. Splashing water barefoot. Weaving braids on your sisters hair colored auburn. Your pinafore dress suited you, like those ensembles your grandma used to sew, so you could run free in the meadows and get lost in the woods. You’ll remember that one time you felt magnificent, like the world belong to you and you belong to the boundless hallways of nature. Where you could see for miles and miles all the way to where the firmament meets the horizon, when you had a perfect sense of youth. . . . . . #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
