Μέσα στο κατακαλόκαιρο ποιο άλλο θέμα θα μπορουσε να μας εμπνεύσει καλύτερα απο τα πεντακάθαρη, κρυστάλλινη, μοναδική ελληνικη θάλασσα????

Ειλικρινά δεν εχω ιδέα που έχει "τραβηχτεί" αυτη η φωτογραφία... αλλά τι σημασία έχει???

Αυτά τα υπέροχα χρώματα, αυτή τη σχεδόν αέρινη αίσθηση, σαν Έλληνες έχουμε το προνόμιο να το βρίσκουμε παντού... να τα έχουμε σχεδόν δίπλα μας όπου και εαν ζούμε.

Our Etsy craft party

It was a party evening last Friday evening. And to be more specific, a craft party evening. Etsy got five years old and this was a perfect opportunity to get together and celebrate. Friends, drinks, crafting materials and the best view in the city, from Maria's/Psarokokalo's terrace, what could be more delightful after a hot summer day?

We decided to make an Etsy sign for the Berlin office, and sent it over of course. From what we have seen in the Virtual Labs with Matt and Benedikta, the only sign there right now is a printed paper, stuck on the door with tape! It's about time they had something more special!

We hope they like it!

I See Greece: June 2010 Trends

I just read a story by AmelieFrenchie, about the latest trends in France, and thought I would like to thank her for popping the question 'What's en vogue in your homeland? . Here's an idea of what is currently trending in Greece:

Yacht Style

You know the kind... Also called 'nautical', a word which comes from Greek and means 'of the ship'. Not always meant literally, but very much alluding to the relaxed lifestyle specially suited for the summer.

Vintage ladies coral and gold sunglasses

By hausofprice, $25.00.

Denim Silk/Linen Seersucker Lined Romper

By thrilliandesigns, $98.

Navy and White Pleated French Messenger

By ikabags, $39.

sailor knot bracelet in natural and gold

By thevamoose, $18.

Personalized double layered Hang Tags

By thepaperkingdom, $10.

Ancient Greece Inspired

Ancient Greek art has never actually ceased to fascinate fashion, but especially this summer the succinct, simple and elegant Ancient Greek style seems to be very much en vogue! Think draped dresses, sandals and beautiful hair updos...

Stretch lace headband

By GarlandsOfGrace, $13.

Sophocles, Antigone Greek Quote Necklace

By amoronia, $25.

Custom Made Grecian Style Wedding Dress

By violavintage, $165.

Opal

By feesk, $40.

wise owl baby pin

By psarokokalo, $9.

Festival Inspired

Summer is the time for festivals, and in Greece it seems the weather lends itself to open air entertainment. Everyone's entertainment agenda is usually heavy and we are all discussing concerts and plays these days.
