Sunday Sessions = Chillout Sessions

On Sundays I play music on my blog.

Old or new or in between.

Related or not.

But always songs I love!

Here are my picks for this week.

You can play along by linking up with Thea @

Do I Really Wanna Blog.

Can't wait to hear your picks.

This week I'm featuring some Chilled Out tunes for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

It's been quite the scorcher these past few days and now with the cool change upon us I'm dedicating the afternoon to reminiscing the weekends summery festivities… dumplings with friends till late, picnics by the water while watching the change roll in and cuddles in bed with a Summer storm crashing around and above me.

What are your favourite tunes to inspire a midsummer nights dream?

Vintage Dreams

Heading out to the Coburg Night Market tonight if the weather stays as fine as it has been the last couple of nights.

It's on every Friday night between the 18th of Nov through to the 23 Dec from 5.30 till 10pm,

so if you happen to be anywhere near the Moreland area head down.

You'll find all sorts of wonderful waiting for you in the stalls…

Like Miss Michelle Luna and her Mecino stall of vintage inspired loveliness.

But if you're not in the area (or even in this country) don't fret,

you could always visit her on-line store which is chock full of dreaminess and whimsy.

Head on over and check out the sale.

(I picked up that pretty hot air balloon, for instance, at a steal of only $17! - Can you believe it?)

It's All Greek To Me

My apologies now to all my non-Greek readers but I simply had to share this amazing piece of history I found today while browsing through one of my cousins Facebook pages.

These old folk songs invoke so much emotion in me regardless of what they happen to be about.

The voices, the music, are so unique and sadly I'm not nearly as exposed to it here in Australia as I was when living in Greece.

(Despite Melbourne having the largest population of Greeks outside of Athens!)

Reveka

So I give a great big thank you to the special girl above who, when I saw her last, was merely a baby back in Greece yet now has blossomed into an insightful and intelligent young lady.

Bonding with her now as a young adult via Facebook (see, I don't just use it for stalking) I'm amazed that we've been worlds apart yet sharing similar joys and interests all this time.

With a maturity and sensitivity beyond her years I can see that she will grow to be a graceful and enchanting woman.

Although, I'd still like her to know that while that day will inevitably come I hope she can appreciate the beautiful and special person that she is right now… Regardless of how awkward she may feel sometimes.

(I see so much of myself at that age in you - I know exactly what you're going through.)

Thank you for reminding me of my roots and that our families hearts are a place we can always call home.

Wordless Wednesday

Having a bit of a love affair with fence posts atm.

(As well as seeing beauty even in the broken places.)

Linking up my almost Wordless Wednesday with

Faith, Hope & a whole lotta Love

Puppy in the Shadows

Just in case you thought I didn't link up with enough memes already - here's one I haven't participated in for a while:

Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday.

Every day come rain, hail or shine, Oscar pines at the front door till I can let him out to snooze on the porch in the morning light.

It's become a bit of a ritual around here - until this week at least when he was groomed to the point of baldness and hasn't moved from his baby bean bag for fear of shame and either frostbite or sunburn.
Poor puppy.
Someone needs to tell him that it's only hair and will grow back.
Someone else needs to tell Mother Nature that it's meant to be Summer and that my doggy is shorn and ready ; )

Sunday Sessions: Feeling Better

Every Sunday I play along with Thea & Friends over at
Do I Really Wanna Blog.

Todays contributions are based on my focus to stay positive in the wake of my trials and tribulations.
Song #1:

And now for a more upbeat tune:

Happy Sunday peeps.

Hope today sees you all feeling fab & fine.

Smooth Sailing

This week Dani from Danimezza has inspired Polly to wear Navy Stripes and she's taken to the trend like a fish to water.
She's using this opportunity to take her friends sailing on her yacht over the weekend and cant wait to take a dip in the Aegean sea.
Hope she packed the sunscreen.
