Happy Halloween once again!!

slightly obsessed...

...with this book...

Bisous!

Eisidisi moving...

Remember this post ??
Well Google+ asked me (I have no idea how !!) if I wished to have those photos made into a "gif", and here's what it turned out:

awesome, right? I for one, love it!
Bisous and have a happy Monday!!

new addition to our big happy family....

....everyone meet Bloki (It's a Hungarian name and it's quite hard to translate, but it's something like....milksop ) and he's a cutie pie...that everyone thought will be like 15 cm in height...but he's starting to look promisingly....huge!!!
....aaaa, and don't worry, he's not living with my three cats....that would be a huge mistake....instead he's Tunde's partents new pet....except for two Boxers......which kind of accept the little guy...for now...

....and anyway Tunde's parents will surely spoil him rotten!!

....and who wouldn't with that face of his???? doesn't he look super cute?????

Bisous!

dreaming away...

....that I was flying far far away, on the back of a dragon,

Eragon Swedish edition bookcover

 flying over snowy mountains and icy rivers,

courtesy of...

 feeling the cold on my face and never looking back,

 ...watching the solemn mountains reflecting their grey beards in the mirrors of the lakes....

bing

...and the eyes of the sky closing up on misty rivers flowing south....and  once more over rusty forests....

bing

...and over evergreen ones...mysteriously covered in fog, hiding treasures and secrets of everlasting life...whispering tales of immortality and of strange creatures....glowing strangely beautiful at dawn...and terrifyingly dangerous at dusk...

bing

..... and once I'd be reaching a mountain top cabin....

bing

...hidden among trees that would shield it from unfriendly eyes...

moonandtrees

...and all the creatures of the forest would be my friends..and I would speak gently to them....and in return they would wishper secrets they've kept for centuries....

moonandtrees

...and teach me the old ways...

Ghost from A Game of Thrones

....and at dusk I would walk among trees, touch their leaves gently and whisper love enchantments....

moonandtrees

...and at dawn I would collect healing herbs....for the body and the spirit...and use them only for good...

moonandtrees

...and then go inside my cabin where fire would crack in the fire place...

moonandtrees

....and warm tea was brewing and pumpkin cookies were waiting for me,

moonandtrees

 and a nice set of books to comfort...

moonandtrees

...like new friend...and old ones...

moonandtrees

 with my three cats around me...and maybe a few friends would come by to share a cup of spiced hot wine with....

moonandtrees

...and watch the rain knocking on my window,

moonandtrees

 but in the dusk all the forest would come to life, fairies of fire dancing around in circles, calling the forest and its creatures to a dizzy dance of life and love...

bing

.....and I would be clad in white translucent robes....dancing barefoot in the grass heavy with dew..

moonandtrees

...round and round...until all the world as I know it would dissolve in a blurred image

moonandtrees

...and I would have no secrets...and love would be with me...

Arwen & Eragon, my beloved heroes!

.....and the forest would have no more secrets from me...

I would stay there until winter is over, and never look back as long as I have my cats and my friends whom share my passions, we would drink tea and wine and cook ourselves some apple or pumpkin and cinnamon pies, with baked potatoes and rosemary....and talk long talks by the fire every night, and stroll the forests in the daylight.....forgetting about everything else...forgetting there is another world out there...hard and cruel...where the magick doesn't happen because it only exists in some people's eyes and hearts...

I'm reading...

could you tell?
...bisous!!!

yet another fact...

I don't know who's to blame, me or the weather, the fact that when I wake up it's still dark outside makes me go crazy, and that once I get home and after an hour or so it's dark again drives me nuts....so you could put the blame on these autumn days....but I just have to share this one....
I've started recently watching the movies...though I've seen the first 5 already....I'm becoming more and more obsessed with this crazy frantic need to possess the books, prefferably in these editions:

...though I could settle for these signature editions .....

source

Eeee? speechless? I know.... but believe me......it could have been predicted...since I'm a huge fantasy fan....so acquiring the British editions up here on the page will make me the happiest geek book lover in the whole wide world...at least for a period of time.....until I have them all....my precioussssss..........
here you can imagine me making this Gollum face......

....so until I can get my filthy paws on those wonderful hardcover editions...which must be second hand as I love books with personality....I'll just have to settle with the movies....nice alternative though....
Bisous!

where the sky is nearer...

There are places......that just whisper gently in your ear....sing a distant calling, entice you and invite you....just waiting to be loved....where you strangely feel that you could live a lifetime, loose yourself in the land....become one with the trees and grass....where you feel you could never be a stranger, and where you know you would find your peace....

...even the road taking you there is spectacular....and full of promises...

....so that you know you're stepping into another world....

...where time is not the essence, but life!

Have you ever felt you belong somewhere without even ever going to that place?

 Happy Monday! Have a wonderful week!
Bisous!

things that bring us joy...

What others feel and think I have no idea, but I do know that I am sometimes so strange that even I wonder if I am some kind of Mr Jekyll or is it that women are believed to be so strange exactly because we all have these moods? All I know is that at times I look in the mirror and I don't recognize myself, and other times I see a happy person looking back at me. Especially this strange autumn weather plays games with my mind, and I am at times melancholic, sad and down, and at other times my heart is lifted up with a joy and goodness I do not understand. These are the times I get most inspired and creative, but my moody self likes to work only at times, and is inclined to quiet observation and a lot of introspective thoughts that invade my mind uninvited. I feel the need to crawl up in some warm and fuzzy corner, a few great books and my kindle around me, my three fluffy cats all over me, a good cup of tea and just read and dream...loose myself in that world which has never disappointed me and makes me feel so alive. Although I am still and not even a muscle moves on my face I can be deep in the action of the book, feel love and pain, struggle and happiness together with the characters, my heart beats faster every time something important is happening, I tremble with anticipation whenever something is about to happen, and thus I believe that readers are not inactive people, but rather run with their hearts instead of their legs.
That's how I like to think about myself and the people that like reading just like me, and I do believe in that saying that a person who reads lives as many lives as the books he's read, while people who haven't read a book in their life live only their own life and that's it.
My melancholic mood makes me wander across the Internet in search of beautiful pictures, and here are some that caught my eye, courtesy of moonandtrees who so elegantly borrowed them from other wonderful sites. All credit belongs to those that initially posted these wonderful pictures that show exactly that simple photography of everyday items can turn into real art, and to whom we are forever grateful for sharing them with us:

I'd love some apple pie right now...

how wonderful is this drawing?

 

this is not Eisidisi!

this is exactly what I would love to do right now!

yummmmm

Hermione...all grown up!

would love to own this exact pile!

wonderful book!

my dream room...would love some natural light though...

hmmmmmmm

gotta love those dresses and these pictures...

perfect couple!

one of the best movies I ever saw: Picnic at Hanging Rock

adorable!

I NEED to have these socks!

and these!

beautiful!

I need to make myself such an ingenious thingie!

 Some might know that I am invited to a wedding this weekend, tommorrow that is...and I am still undecided about what I should wear...black or green dress....especially since it's really cold outside. But that's really not my biggest concern, since my hair is the ultimate challenge I am facing...I'd love something simple, yet festive...something like this:

...both look great, but I wonder if they would look great during an entire night....and I have to speak to Tunde's mom and see if she is available tomorrow morning to help me ....
All these being said, I hope everyone has a wonderful and not that chilly weekend, and especially a quiet and beautiful autumn!
Bisous!
