Greek Beach Table - Int'l Bloggers Club Challenge

5/30/2016

108 Comments

 
Here we are again for our Int'l Bloggers Club Challenge.  I really enjoy doing this challenge. It gives me the chance to show off my country and also admire my fellow blogger's countries. Last month, we talked about shopping and the month before about Spring Flowers. In fact I have all of our challenges here. This month we decided to do something a little different.  We are doing furniture makeovers. This is the most natural topic for us since we are all involved in some form of home decorating or upcycling. This month I am saving a "Greek Beach table" from certain boredom. 

Εδώ είμαστε και πάλι για το Διεθνές Bloggers Club. Μου αρέσει πολύ να συμμετάσχω σε αυτή την πρόκληση. Μου δίνει την ευκαιρία να αναδείξουν τη χώρα μου, αλλά και να θαυμάσω τις χώρες των συναδέλφων μπλογκερ. Τον περασμένο μήνα, μιλήσαμε για ψώνια και πριν  για ανοιξιάτικα λουλούδια. Όλες οι προκλήσεις ειναι εδώ. Αυτό το μήνα αποφασίσαμε να κάνουμε κάτι λίγο διαφορετικό. Θα κάνουμε ανακαινίσεις επίπλων. Αυτό είναι το πιο φυσικό θέμα για εμάς, καθώς  ασχολούμαστε ολες σε κάποια μορφή της διακόσμησης ή ανακαινισεις.  Αυτόν τον μήνα θα σας  δείξω ένα Ελληνικό  Τραπέζι  Θάλασσας που θα το σώσω από βαρεμάρα.

Welcome everyone to our eighth Sweet Inspiration Link Party. It has been a busy week for all of us.  I've been cleaning out  the balcony and getting it ready for  outdoor living.  I am also helping the kids with their final exams - we have too many here at least 15!  I also want to wish everyone a very happy Memorial Day weekend in advance. 
 

We will be visiting all of you who link up with us and sharing, pinning all that good stuff. We really do appreciate your visits.

My Irrational Obsession with Paper Rolls - Η Παράλογη μου Εμμονή με τα Ρολά Χαρτιού

5/26/2016

63 Comments

 
As some of you may know, I am obsessed with being frugal, the more frugal the better.  Well, I have been hoarding, er collecting paper rolls.  I just can't see throwing them out or recycling them when I can get my brain to work a little and turn out beauties such as this heart or these bracelet holders. As I said, I had amassed  quite a few of these and it was time for a project because I was running out of space to store them. And so this is the post about my irrational obsession with paper rolls. 

Όπως κάποιοι από εσάς ίσως γνωρίζετε, μου αρέσει να κάνω οικονομία. Λοιπόν, έχω αποθησαυρίσει, εμμ, εχω κάνει συλλογή ρολά χαρτιού. Απλά δεν μπορω να τα πετάξω  όταν μπορώ να βάλω  το μυαλό μου να δουλεψει λίγο και να φανταστεί  ομορφιές, όπως αυτή τη καρδιά η  αυτόν τον  οργανωτή για τα βραχιόλια. . Όπως είπα, είχα μαζέψει αρκετά από αυτά και ήρθε η ώρα για ένα έργο, επειδή δεν υπήρχε άλλος   χώρος για να τα αποθηκεύσω. Και έτσι αυτή είναι η ανάρτηση για την παράλογη μου  εμμονή με τα ρολά χαρτιού.

Between the Lines - The Boondocks Blog

I am so excited to share with you today a blog series that I have been asked to join by Katherine of Katherine's Corner.  ​This series highlights bloggers who are 50 and over.  Yes, there are many of us out there in Blogland and it is with the help of Katherine of Katherine's Corner that we have all come together. She is shining the light on us each Tuesday for ten weeks. I was chosen to be in week six of the series. Each week 10 bloggers will be interviewed and featured at Katherine's Corner. On the eleventh week, we will ask Katherine herself some questions.

The Blog series  is called "Between the lines".  What lines are those?  Well they can be looking past the blog to the actual blogger or they can be in reference to all of my lovely wrinkles, which I have earned and am proud of.

Sweet Inspiration Link Party #7

5/20/2016

Welcome everyone to our seventh Sweet Inspiration Link Party. This week has been a bit slower than usual but not for me.  I have been painting up a storm (no spoilers).  My kids are in the middle of final exams so I may be a little distracted in the coming month.  Finals last  for a month here, because we like to study more than anyone else  (said no kid). I really don't know why they torture the poor kids.

     I'm Mary and I recently  moved to New York from beautiful Greece.  I like to re-purpose and up-cycle  anything that is old or looks like junk.  Join me as we use our creativity to spark some life into old things.  And do it frugally!  You will also see lots of photography of my Greece and New York.
