A silver kind of day


It's a silver kind of day, the whole world seems to be bathed in an ethereal light.


Certain corners of the house reflect the color of ice, rain, and snow, and everything seems to shimmer.



While others fight to retain the golden shades of past sunny days...







It's very quiet here, more than usual. I am trying to keep busy and not think about my dear, sweet Abby who is getting spayed today...



I can't wait for her to be okay so we can play in the snow!

Sending you hugs and many wishes for a happy day.

  1. Magical pics of your beautiful home - I love your fairy...sending hugs for little Abby - we had Pip spayed just before Christmas and she was sad for a bit, but we gave her extra cuddles (she hated having the bucket on her head and the poor little darling couldn't fit out her doggy door with it on!) But she is all recovered now, and very happy. I hope that you are well x

  2. Dearest Alina ... only you can capture the essence of silvered days so eloquently. I love, love, love your sitting faery ... for she is simply divine!!! Wherever did you find such an exquisite piece??

    Abby will be just fine ... and in her growing years, so much happier and healthier that you relieved her of her seasons. I know you must miss her greatly though ... alas, she will soon be home wagging her tail behind her and full of loving kisses!

    Enjoy the ethereal beauty that surrounds you, my friend ... warmest hugs, P.

  6. Dear Tina, yes, the bucket on the head is a "big no-no" with Abby too :0) Glad you enjoy seeing a big of my home. Happy Anniversary! XO

    Dear Paula, I found this fairy at a local supermarket but it's also sold at www.efairies.com. The bench I bought separately at a discount store. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet compliments. Hugs! Note:- the fairy doesn' come with the necklace, it was just my own addition.

    Dear Catherine, thank you! Abby is doing a lot better XO

    Dear Rebecca, it was great to bring Abby home and pamper her back to health. Thank you XO

    TGR, you are right, this fairy is VERY detailed. Ironically, it's actually the least expensive one in my collection. She certainly is one of my favorites!

    Dear Olive, yes, Abby is back and doing terrific. I'm afraid my fairy with the pearls is not very good at housework, the two of us spend countless hours daydreaming and ignoring the "non-fairy dust" that seems to multiply by the minute :0) I've just been to your place and absolutely LOVED the paper with the purple leaves! XO

  8. Hi, Alina. I see you quietly stopped by. Thank you for your soulful comments. You have noticed that I had to love your gypsy wagon as much as you. My mother is Hungarian (and a little gypsy) so there is in me a wanderlust always and a wagon with such colorful paintings and tapestry is the ticket. I am so happy to see that Abby is well. She is such a sweet little girl. Rest and cuddling should be the prescription. Peace to all this weekend. Brianne

  10. Dear Alina,
    Your beautiful home is truly magical. I love your fairy statue. She is amazing! :-)
    I am sure she could come alive at night when it's a full moon.
    Give Abby a big hug from me. I know it is a worry when we have to take our pet's to the vet.
    Abby has grown into a sweet little girl. I love the photo of her in the snow wearing a little jumper. :-)
    You are in my thoughts my friend.
    Hugs,
    Jo. xx

  11. Dear Kiki, I too wish we'd lived closer. Sharing a cup of tea would be so nice! Thank you for liking my photos/home. Your opinion is highly esteemed, you are such an artist! Abby and I send you big hugs and wishes for a magical weekend XO

    Dear Brianne, I can tell we are kindred spirits, no doubt about it. I am not aware of any Gypsy heritage in my family but I am sure that someone, somehow has a lot to do with how I am and how I feel. It sure has been great to meet you! XO

    Querida Maria Cecilia,
    Gracias por tu visita y por tus lindas palabras. Un abrazo! XO

    Dear Jo,
    How lovely to imagine my fairy comes alive on full moon nights. Thank you for the vision! Both Abby and I send you a BIG hug and wishes for a super magical weekend XO

  12. Dear Alina,

    I just want to whisper that I was here. Best wishes, friend, after reading your last two posts and thanks for reminding me about how soothing January can be.

    Love, Me xo

    I was looking at the roads and remembering that you love the puddles in them, when they're muddy, too! =]

  14. And, here I am, again, Alina! I love silvery, mutedly glowing days, too! You just know that I just know what you mean! =] I really do see it - you showed it and spoke it so well.

    Thanks for posting all of this so that I could come and be refreshed and, oh, so happy to visit, this morning!

    Love and hug and a kiss, Katy
