First Roll
December 5, 2011
Old photos from my first roll using my vintage Zenit 12cd. Alexander was my inspiration for the night. Actually I feel proud I used the right settings, it was the first time I used an analog camera!
Cirque De Art
August 29, 2011
I'm really proud for my latest finding! Searching through Etsy for some decorating ideas, I found this small shop called Cirque De Art. Very unique handmade prints with black and white drawings and retro illustrations, printed on pages from an antique British book from 1899 entitled 'Amateur Gardening'.
Vanessa, the lovely owner of the shop, said to me a few word about her art work and how much she enjoys doing it.
''I find a great enjoyment in the process of digital collage and especially like to combine inky, black and white drawings with block colour. The old book pages make the perfect contrast as the backgrounds of my prints, with their warm, aged tones. For my inspiration I like to trawl through antique and flea markets picking out interesting, old, dusty books which no one cares about and then give them a new life. I am also attracted to quirky items like teacups, glass bottles, old suitcases and empty vintage picture frames. I have always been infinitely inspired by flowers, plants, animals and birds. I have started a small collection of old books now and hope to add many more prints to my shop over the coming weeks. Including many more animals.... and more teacups!''
Below are my two purchases from Cirque De Art and the freebie dog I got , that is actually printed on a page with french recipes for cheese cake and macaroons!!
Hope you like them as much as I do!

Go Vintage Party
January 19, 2011
Το πρώτο vintage party γίνεται στην Θεσσαλονίκη. Και έχει όλα όσα χρειάζεται. Πολλά ρετρό ρούχα, διακοσμητικά από προηγούμενες δεκαετίες, μουσικές, bloggers, σχεδιάστριες και σχεδιαστές της πόλης, βίντεο και εικόνες. Ελάτε για τσάι και μπισκότα, για λικέρ και ποτά εποχής και θα συνεχίσουμε μέχρι το βράδυ χορεύοντας. Οι fashion bloggers και ο Gio Pren θα παίξουν μουσική άλλων δεκαετιών, ενώ μικρές εκθέσεις θα δώσουν έναν ρετρό αέρα στο χώρο!

Peter Pan Collar
December 4, 2010
Well the Peter Pan Collar may first appeared to school uniforms, but from the mid twentieth century until now has become not only popular but also a FASHION STATEMENT.
This specific type of collar has been named after the fictional character of Peter Pan and it really changed the boring neckline to a chic and stylish piece. We've seen it to a lot of catwalks and is an element you can dressed up with during all day!
So as you know internet is full of treasures...
Get inspired!
