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.

  • The high walls covered the garden, shutting inside all of that wonder. The roses were blooming and the ground was covered with verdant grass and bushes except for a narrow pathway that led to the greenhouse. There were numerous trees in that refuge, most of them I didn’t know what to call them, even though I could tell that they knew how to speak to one another. I cannot say for sure, when was the last time anyone had stepped over that enclosure. The pots were empty, the door was locked and the vines began to take the structure by its basement, engulfing the matter into nature. It was all delightfully mysterious like a scene from F. H. Burnett book, and I played the part as well, discovering every bit of its corners. . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #countrysidelife #lifeandthyme #rurallife #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • If something could be said about her, is that she was (maybe) overly optimistic. She would often close her eyes and wish a hundred times for different outcomes, as if her wishing could somehow change course of events like a storm or shorten the absence of a loved one. So many times she appeared to be of a childish demeanor, untamed, living in a somewhat secret garden, that few understood or let in, to be frank and honest. Her laughter and carelessness was as intimidating as it was drawing, and it wasn’t so out of pre determination, for she was likely, not the kind to make such arrangements. She was perhaps the embodiment of freedom. Running through daisy fields, jumping rivers and twirling for no good reason. That you could say about her. Of that Peter Pan complexion. .

  • They stood on the floor for the length of a whole evening, sewing branches into leafs, and leafs into satin blue ribbons. I warmed up to the idea that everything beautiful must be born out of the same feeling, like a circle that never stops spinning. My eyes felt heavy, the weaving is far more calming than any ticking clock in the parlor, next to my grandfathers library. The next day I found the ladder down the stairs, snippets of foliage on the wooden pavement mixed in with cuts and bits of sapphire cordon. They were like traces of a happening yet undisclosed to the wanderer. I looked up to the ceiling and saw that they placed the crown above the seating, where people would rejoice and find happiness in every day living. It is true what I thought - that everything beautiful is born out of the same feeling - the poetry of turning simple into everything that is fair and brings rapture. . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #countrysidelife #lifeandthyme #rurallife #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife #lindaeliassonworkshop
  • Endless flashes of delight.

  • She sat on the window, going through the pile of letters that was left unopened. The cake glaze drips over the marble table, without making a sound or moving an eyebrow. Between the scribbles on the journal and the hunt and peck of the typewriter you could find her oblivious to the surroundings. The tractor farming and the dog barking would make anyone annoyed or at least disconcerted in the chores it is under. Not her. In her little world she is weaving stories. Writing a book. Maybe a poem, I’m not so sure anymore. There is this particular frame in ones complexion that states that a presence is noted but the mind is somewhere else, in a parallel world, with rules of its own and characters unwritten. A year has passed, almost, since the last time I visited my novel. I had then, such expectations. You could even say love for the story I was writing. Looking at it now, seems it was most likely a timid affection, target of a juvenile attention. Pueril even. In any matter, I’m hoping to give it another chance and see what it unravels, maybe there’s something to salvage from that writing. . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #countrysidelife #lifeandthyme #rurallife #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
