It's yellow and dimpled on the outside,
pink and squidgy on the inside and
sometimes people have half of one for breakfast.''

-Paintings To Smile About

Istanbul is a lucky city!

It has got a set of peaceful and beautiful islands right off shore. On the other hand, the islands are car-free. When I got to Büyükada (meaning 'Big Island') this summer, I rented a bike and managed to circle the entire island in a few hours. It was a beautiful ride with gorgeous coastal views of the Sea of Marmara and Istanbul. Like other islands, this one has also been dotted with gorgeous wooden mansions, and took this photo during my day-trip.

You are lucky too?


-Unleashing Those Hidden Talents

Do you think I must have big plans for these? Like sewing plans? You are wrong. I think to create unusual and fantastic pairings using them together for wrapping up nicely. Oh don't let this fool you. I have much more ribbons and ric-racs than what my photo indicates as follows.

From rose tones to bright fuschia when it comes to colour, a splash of pink works the best. See below left, my fuschia roses will make a pretty lovely final touch when I attach on the gifts.

Anyone else out there excited by the holidays coming?


-Recapturing Carefree Youth

Meet Beren on the left, and Linet on the right. Pink-y lover celebrities from Turkey.

Beren is a young Turkish actress, 28 yrs old. Not only talent, blessed with so much beauty. Now she appears in tv series Hatirla Sevgili (English: Remember Darling)

Linet, the Istanbul based Israeli singer, 41 yrs old. She was in a recent live concert. Her cheerful pink dress from British fashion designer Alexander McQueen is sure to make everyone feel so young again.

As they say you're only as old as you feel:)


-Waiting To Say Goodbye

Feels like spring outside here..

We have been having abnormally high temperatures these past weeks. Hard to believe it's already mid of November! Lately there has been discoveries, much learning and observations for me. I was off for a walk and found some pink roses in the garden as if waiting me in tears to say goodbyes til' next spring.

Oh do not leave me..


I find nothing warms me up inside like one true color, pink. What about you? If staying warm is on your mind then you'd look for some fun pink-y things and stories that keep the cold away. Visit Beverly's How Sweet The Sound
