Have a great long weekend!

It's a long weekend for the 28th October 1940 celebration.
Today jets were flying in the sky making aburdly ominous sounds and people were walking at the sea front enjoying the warm weather and looking at ships and a submarine!
Enjoy the weekend!

What the mail brought and I won a giveaway

I recently won a giveaway and I was most amazed at my gift. It is a flower lady vase made by the very talented Stella of atelierstella in London. It is so beautiful! Here is her blog and her shop. She is also on etsy. Isn't she lovely? And she so beautifully fits with all my green vases and sea glass felted stones!
Thank you Stella!
If you want to win another giveaway go to her blog now!
Now to older things.This arrived quite some time ago, but I am even misplacing my draft posts now!
It is from my friend Angela in Canada and I loved everything she included.
Thanks Angela!
And this arrived from the other side of the world from Virginia in Australia. This was a small exchange we did with Virginia and she really was very generous with me. Virginia makes lovely suncatchers, maybe you would like to see her shop SeaLights.






Thank you Virginia and for all the comments you always leave for me on my photos on the sea glass sites.

This week.......

It was one more tiring week but we really had fun!
First on Wednesday we went to see the Re-Art, Recycle Project exhibition at the Goethe institute.It was an art exhibition of creating from trash!

 









 I loved all those shutters!Many a time I found old shutters in the street and would love to take them but there is no more space at home and hubby really finds them unacceptable!
 This is made with used frying oil.




 Then on Thursday the Teachers' Drama Club presented the new poetry book of Christos Dikbasanis at the grounds of "Philologos"!  It was a cosy interesting presentation and we had fun all together afterwards at a nearby restaurant!
Here at our home at the rehearsal!

 The poet reading his poetry!

We had two "Griothesia" performances this weekend, one on Friday and one on Saturday! They were both with full audience, with old and new friends enjoying themselves!
On Sunday I went to the "I made it" bazaar at Rover Bar at Ladadika near the city centre.. It was nice!In a small space lots of creative people gathered to present their handmade creations!
Ladadika is very beautiful with old buildings that once were warehouses!
 Now most are bars and restaurants!
 I bought a lavender olive oil soap from this sweet lady Lena! A smile is always the best policy to gain a new client!You can find her shop Lale on facebook.

 And I bought some fused glass Christmas ornaments from Karolos of Vitrorama. You can find his creations and more here.



It was a good week!
