FILLED WITH SUN

The last two days were literally full to the brim with the sun.
 And because of all this light I just couldn't resist this growing, immediate need to be surrounded by pastels
So I didn't hesitate for too long and filled my house with lovely, spring flowers and the aroma of such a light, lemony cake.
By the way, daffodils in my garden are nearly blooming, so this sun  cannot be the winter one anymore?!
With a huge hope that you can also enjoy the sun wherever you are, I'm wishing you a lovely day!
Bake your favorite sunny cake and enjoy every little happy moment!

Ostanie dwa dni wypelnione sloncem po brzegi, wtloczyly masy swiatla i potrzebe otoczenia sie pastelami wrecz natychmiastowa, 
co tez uczynilam pozadliwie zaopatrujac sie w kwiaty i piekac lekkie, cytrynowe ciasto. 
Swoja droga w moim ogrodzie za chwile rozkwitna zonkile (!) - to slonce zatem juz nie zimowe calkiem?!
Z wielka nadzieja, ze , niezaleznie od tego gdzie jestescie, rowniez mozecie cieszyc sie wiosennym swiatlem,
 zycze Wam naprawde dobrego dnia!
Upieczcie swoje ulubione, sloneczne ciasto i celebrujcie kazda malutka, szczesliwa chwile!









Have a great weekend!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING...

I know someone who started to think about Christmas in September, well probably some of us do it. But this person is literally scratching off a day after day in his calendar until 24th December and made a statement that this is the best time of the year
 (I can let you know, my sweetheart, there are only 29 days left and that's nothing if you compare it to 115 days when you start counting in September). Another example is such a lovely and charming, legendary place in London - Liberty, a magnificent store, which was established in 1875. I just adore this place with its Tudor architecture and such an incredible attention to details, which are used to arrange this place. They also started selling Christmas decorations in September and created their amazing Christmas store with all those shiny, fairytale-like decorations - you can feel like in a fairy tale, really.
But to me this place at this time always reminds me of the sound of secretly rustling paper, which I heard lying in my bed while my mum was wrapping Christmas gifts thinking that I was already asleep...

So with just one month left till Christmas, should I feel like I am late?!
Actually I am not feeling that at all, I'm feeling like I am in the perfect time to start to prepare my decorations, lists of cakes and gifts... And this year, for some reason, although it's the busiest time for me, I can't wait for Christmas.
I always love this time but this year I just simply cannot, wait....

Znam pewna symatyczna osobe, ktora o Swietach Bozego Narodzenia zaczyna myslec juz we wrzesniu.
Prawdopodobnie niektorzy z nas rowniez, ale ta osoba skresla dzien po dniu w swoim kalendarzu az do 24 Grudnia..i juz dawno oswiadczyla, ze  dla niej Boze Narodzenie jest najpiekniejszym czasem w ciagu calego roku
(z przyjemnoscia zawiadamiam, ze zostalo tylko 29 dni do swiat co jest niczym w stosunku do 115, ktore byly na poczatku wrzesnia...bliziutko zatem i calkiem juz z gorki). Innym przykladem wrzesniowego startu swiatecznego jest naprawde piekne, legendarne miejsce w Londynie - Liberty, bajkowy sklep, ktory powstal w 1875 roku. Bardzo lubie to miejsce, z tudorska architektura
 i niebywala atencja w doborze detali - zarowno w aranzacji tego miejsca jak i towarow. Liberty zwykle zaczyna okres swiateczny
we wrzesniu, tworzac przepiekna, mieniaca sie kolorami sekcje swiateczna. Mozna poczuc sie jak w bajce, choc mi odwiedzanie tego miejsca nieodmiennie kojarzy sie z tajemniczym szelestem papieru, ktory slyszalam bedac w lozku z za zamknietych drzwi, podczas, gdy moja mama myslac,ze juz spie pakowala prezenty pod choinke.

Czy zatem, skoro niektorzy zaczeli juz we wrzesniu, powinnam czuc sie juz bardzo spozniona? Moze, ale wcale nie czuje, ze to juz
 za zakretem i nie zdaze. Nic a nic.
Czuje,ze jestem w swietnym momencie, zeby zaczac przygotowywac  dekoracje domu, liste ciast i prezentow.
 I, z jakiegos, mniej lub bardziej uswiadomionego powodu, w tym roku nie moge sie ich doczekac.
Zawsze lubilam swieta Bozego Narodzenia, ale w tym roku po prostu nie moge sie juz doczekac...









Have a great day!

DUST ON MY BLOG! 

I don't know about you but personally, nearly every day I'm wondering what date it is today.
Obviously, I use my calendar every day but it's only to find what kind of jobs I need to do and never record the date - it's all just to find which day, deadline, meeting etc. it is. But in general understanding of time I am still simply surprised, really.
 And amazed that it's already summer, autumn (more actual I guess) and yesterday was still spring, followed by someone's birthday, and then someone else's. And overall, this and that was already last week. Well.. I haven't noticed. I am not sure whether this fact testifies the magnitude of all the things and situations surrounding me or maybe the rather miserable condition of my mind.
Or maybe it's really true that when you're getting older, the carousel spins faster - such fun, really... I am just hoping that it's not the beginning of a sad collapse which will need psychiatric help, so expensive sadly, because to see this in another way why not just lie on the couch and talk (am I wrong?). Anyway, I want to inform everyone that I realized it's October, holidays are over
(yes, I agree, it's just not fair), my last post was like two months ago or so, not yesterday - I guess I would be terrible with mail daily.
 And the flowers market is so packed and vibrant, cakes are baking every day - tarts with blackberries, lemon and apple cakes
(my neighbor is reliable and since August guarantees me delivery of the most organic apples in the world ever - I am eternally grateful to him, that's obvious, absolutely, the same like last year: click). And celebration cakes hiding in white boxes are delivered to all birthday boys and girls. So welcome to my autumn. Sunny, warm, colorful, with three calendars on the hand and full of cakes.
Maybe I just jumped in the right modes? Not so sure. Anyway, if you have any idea how to not miss time, let me know please.
I would be so grateful, who knows - maybe more than to my neighbors, if that's possible?

ZAKURZYLO SIE, ZE HEJ!

Nie wiem jak Wy, ale ja codziennie niemal zastanawiam sie jaka mamy dzisiaj date. Niby korzystam z kalendarza prawie codziennie, ale jakos tak zadaniowo i w ogole nie rejestrujac daty - dzien, termin, zamowienie, spotkanie etc. Ale tak w ogolnym pojmowaniu czasu to stale zaskakiwana jestem po prostu. I zadziwiona, ze juz lato albo  jesien (bardziej aktualne) a wczoraj byla wiosna jeszcze, juz urodziny te i tamte. A w ogole to a no tak, to to juz bylo w tamtym tygodniu. Hm..nie zauwazylam. Nie jestem pewna czy ten fakt swiadczy o mnogosci zdarzen mnie otaczajacych czy raczej o marnej kondycji mojego umyslu. A moze naprawde z wiekiem karuzela naprawde kreci sie szybciej - no frajda, naprawde. Mam szczera nadzieje, ze to nie sa poczatki jakiejs zapasci wymagajacej szybkiej interwencji psychologiczno-psychiatrycznej. W kazdym razie informuje, ze zorientowalam sie ,ze jest juz pazdziernik, wakacje za nami (zgadzam sie , to strasznie nie fair), i, ze ostatni wpis byl nie wczoraj ale prawie dwa miesiace temu (tak sobie mysle, ze w nadawaniu codziennych wiadomosci bym raczej przepadla).  Zawiadamiam, ze markety uginaja sie od kwiatow, wibrujac kolorami
a ciasta pieka sie  codziennie..tarty z jezynami, ciasta cytrynowe i z jablkami (sasiad nie zawodzi i od polowy sierpnia gwarantuje dostawy najbardziej organicznych jablek na swiecie- jestem dozgonnie wdzieczna za ta dobroc, podobnie jak w zeszlym roku: klik)
 i niezmiennie torty chowaja sie w biale pudelka i wyruszaja w droge do solenizantow...
A zatem to moja jesien. Sloneczna, ciepla, kolorowa, z trzema kalendarzami pod reka i pelna pachnacych ciast.
Moze wlasnie wskoczylam na wlasciwe tory?  Nie jestem taka pewna.
Jesli wiec ktos z Was ma jakis pomysl na nie mijanie sie z czasem bede bardzo wdzieczna, moze nawet bardziej niz mojemu sasiadowi, jesli to w ogole mozliwe. Usciski !

Hi there! That was a break while I had visited York (such a pretty, old town) and also International Cake, which is still on in London, full of incredible cakes - not sure if "cakes" is
 a good description for what I saw yesterday!?  I would love to try some of them but there were signs "Do not touch, please" everywhere so as a good girl I didn't touch, just admired. I'll show you some of them soon as today more Easter ideas are coming...

*

Zrobilam sobie krotka przerwe w przygotowaniach do swiat, podczas ktorej odwiedzilam York (bardzo ladne, stare miasto) i International Cake, wystawe wypelniona niesamowitymi ciastami. Przy okazji nie jestem pewna czy "ciasta" sa dobrym okresleniem na to co wczoraj widzialam. Chcialabym naprawde ktoregos z nich sprobowac, ale wszedzie byly napisy "Prosze nie dotykac", wiec starajac sie zachowac choc odrobine kultury osobistej, nie dotykalam a jedynie podziwialam. Nie bylo to takie proste, przy niemal kazdym kusilo mnie by dotknac i sprawdzic czy
 sa naprawde "zywe". Juz wkrotce pokaze Wam niektore z nich a dzisiaj wiecej wielkanocnych propozycji ...

Hi everyone!

Easter preparation - time to start! It seems like this year Easter is somewhere near ...summer
 but it's good news for anyone who likes warm, nice weather (hello!) because it should be sunny and warm at that time. So fingers crossed for an amazing weather, great mood and company
 and shall we start our preparations from decoration?
 Here it is - a pretty, little rose on an Easter decoupage egg.
This is one of my favourite patterns!
Tomorrow a new one will come - polka dot or with rabbits (who knows?).

Warm welcome on a chilly Monday morning!

One month and Christmas will be here. Sometimes I wonder when exactly Christmas begins, because when I go to the shop, lets say in late October or very early November, it seems like I missed something, because everywhere there are a lot of Christmas decorations and festive chocolates. Yes, I know it's market law! In one way it's good, because you can prepare your gifts and cards without haste. But sometimes I feel like we are losing our natural rhythm.
Sounds a bit nostalgic..? Well...

But now it's not October any more and next Sunday, December will start, which means that my children will start their advent calendar - just one chocolate per day, in the early morning, even before breakfast (such a Christmassy sign in our home)  So for me the first day of December is a day when I start to plan my Christmas - my home made, very traditional dishes,
festive decor, delicious, fresh cakes and, of course, gifts!

And as I have always been doing my Christmas gifts for my family and friends by myself
(apart from the wishes in letters to St. Claus, of course), I think that a home made hamper is the perfect idea. An the beginning it was just a box of delicious, festive biscuits but from last year my hampers started to be bigger and  more festive, which makes me happy, because I can be more creative and put my love for aesthetics and good taste in my hampers... You know it all smells of chocolate, cookies, cinnamon, oranges and all those ribbons and bows, and the whisper of paper, when you wrap the gifts and when they're unwrapped later. It sounds like a box of treasure for me. I devote all my attention when I am doing this because I think that it's so important to show to our friends and family how important they are for us. And honestly there are not that many moments in our everyday life when we say to them "Thank you for being for me!". Yes, it happened, a very nostalgic post, but this is where all begins - with and for the people close to us!

Just before school starts... Kids' party time!
As I told you earlier, here's some inspiration for kids' party tables!

Pink marshmallows celebration cake, chocolate cookies wrapped in some vibrant colours,
cookie lollipops and anything you fancy, as long as it's colourful, full of joy and good taste!




Perfect on the go!



Ready for party bags...


Cupcakes - every party needs them!

"Keep smiling, keep smiling my Dear!" said some nice lady to me yesterday when I said (wearing a coat on 13th June!), "What a lovely, hot day we've got today"... So I do smile and searching for beautiful, more spring (nearly summer) accents remained me of my decopatch hangers, which are wearing my summer clothes. By the way, I guess I should be wearing them but it seems like I am married to my coat since last October... I like my hangers, they're giving me hope that the warm days will come anyway and my dresses look so unique on them, even though they are not really from the latest famous collection (shame...). My favourite is the blue polka-dot one and the other one, very cute, I think proudly, with the robin. I'm wondering which one do you like the most?

By the way thank you for visiting me from so many countries, I am sure that in USA there is no need to wear a coat and for you all this must be like "What is she talking about?"... Yes, I know...


" Keep smiling, keep smiling...!"
