Late at night and insomnia pays a visit. This post is taken from an old post and reminds me of my last weeks of pregnancy when my body was getting prepared for those long sleepless nights post birth.
The art of being pregnant is quite unique. Feels so far away though. Most of us have artistic thoughts about it, most of us colour thoughts about it. How does it feel to be pregnant? And then this precious moment arrives and most of us sparkle with happiness. It lasts nine months and it monopolises our everyday activities until we give birth and then time flies. The art of pregnancy:
Big big appetite; although for me this only occurred following birth!
Endless planning ahead; and lots of money to spend for the future bebinos of the world!
Patience; for everybody around us, at least this is what rumors say!
Reality strikes; You will need to take care of somebody else besides yourselves!
Emotion; Oh yes, especially the last trimester, there are lots of ups & downs!
Gorgeous looks; pregnancy makes you sparkle, admit it!
Nourishment; Start a healthy diet.
Anticipation; when, how, will it hurt, how does he/she will look like?
Nausea; some of us feel sick, yes, indeed! I was a lucky one!
Time has come, we need to rush to the hospital, or wait until the last-minute for some!
Well, those days are long gone for our family. Having said this, I came across an old post of mine, under an old baby blog I had created ages ago, named ‘Beboirism’ (no longer in use).
If you were to take a snapshot of us at this right moment, photo number 3 or 5 could easily apply today to our bed story. My little one is sleeping right next to me. (oh well not so little nowadays).
And guess what? He enjoys it. Or is it just me? It is well known that moms spoil their kids and there is no doubt that moms spoil their little boys. The photo actually tells our true story. How many of you have not pondered about having your babies in bed? How many of you find this so familiar? Yes, I admit it, I enjoy it. I know it is not something that baby- even more kids books would recommend. I am certain this is not part of the baby/kids routine or the Baby Savoir Vivre. He is getting spoiled? Yes, he is. We will regret it later, yes we may. But right now, he sleeps like a king, happily smiling and enjoying those special sleepy moments.
This is still the case now, six years later….Well, let us enjoy those moments and get spoiled, at least for a few evenings in lockdown.
Dedicated to our 7LR girlfriends, to Anna & Eleftheria.
Can you travel virtually to your favourite destination?
Jewellery retells its story..
Lockdown & virtually travel. Wear your jewellery and close your eyes.
We have been inspired by the Greek islands, the olive trees of the Peloponnese peninsula and Mount Olympus.
Antiparos
In charming layers, everything can make a statement. A vintage caged pendant stone, light pinkish (almost white) in colour (rose quartz) hangs effortlessly from a crinkle sheer silk ribbon, hand dyed in a dark purple colour. A tiny oval pendant hangs along giving it an ‘Antiparos flair’ in combination. It features a little blondie on one side and a cross on the reverse.
Pull it over and get the nostalgic look and feel, to capture memories from a childhood on the beaches of the Greek islands.
Patmos
Another silver vintage charm hangs from a crinkle silk ribbon, hand dyed in a beautiful light blue/grey colour. A Silver heart locket that reads, ‘Jesus’ , on one side, and on the other side ‘Marie’. Feeling religious & charming walking up the Chora’s (main island village) whitewashed steps..
Inspired by the colourful variations of the blue waters in Antiparos and the wild, strangely cold waters in Patmos, we feel unique, refreshed & loved.
Next we travel to the island of Symi..
At the Chora, you can layer colourfully your statement. A St. Christopher’s silver locket charm hangs from a crinkle silk ribbon, hand dyed in a beautiful brown colour. It is truly beautiful, picturesque and different.
The French statement ‘en cas d’accident ou de maladie ouvrez….’ reminds us that we are all human. There is an additional statement inside the locket, again inspired by religion.
Evil Eyes are here to protect….
A vintage Nuvo silver charm is hanging from a crinkle silk ribbon, hand dyed in a beautiful brown colour. It features a silver coffee pot with crystal. British Nuvo vintage charms date back from the 1950s onwards and they are so beautiful.
Enjoy your coffee by the beach in style and give yourself a romantic and nostalgic flair.
Hydra
Inspired by the cosmopolitan & glamorous island of Hydra. Our passion for finding everything beautiful and different has been our driving force. The transparent clog shoe hangs tightly from a crinkle silk ribbon, hand dyed in a beautiful orange colour. This is a vintage piece that features seven red dots on the heel underneath. Oh yes, we love 7.
Wear your clogs and jump on the donkey at the harbour for a quick shot.
Mani
The silver marcasite effortlessly hangs from its sheer silk ribbon, hand dyed in a dark forest green colour. The charm features a beautiful blue stone. A shiny turquoise stone of an unusual cut hangs along. This is a dry, unique, and mystery landscape, at its best. The castles are standing strong against the winds, blow your minds away.
Mount Olympus
Inspired by the mythical mount of Olympus in Greece. This piece has its own mythical references. Wear it either alone or layered with other charmed jewellery that have been collected and recreated by 7LittleRubbers. Make your statement.
A brass vintage Lincoln Imp/Pixie hangs from the silk ribbon, hand dyed in a light green /sage colour. The charm features a beautiful amber stone of an unusual oval shape. The Lincoln Imp is mythical and of a mischievous character. It has attracted our attention! An ‘Exmouth, Pixie’.
Legend says that an angel transformed it into a stone! It is so much fun to play with Pixies in layers. Play with the gods..
