Il tempo è proprio uggioso in questi giorni, niente a che vedere con le meravigliose giornate primaverili ed il caldo piacevole delle scorse settimane. Troppo bello per durare, dico io. Eppoi, per dirla tutta, per scongiurare un'estate siccitosa, la pioggia era assolutamente necessaria. Certo, magari temperature un pò più miti sarebbero gradite, ma dato che non possiamo avere tutto io ho cercato di portare un pò di primavera all'interno del mio nido con un mazzetto di ranuncoli bianchi in un'antica caffettiera. Il solo guardare questi dolci ranuncoli mi fa stare meglio. Non è forse vero che anche le piccole cose possono fare una grande differenza?
The weather is rather gloomy these days. All we have had over the past week is rain rain and again rain. Way different from the wonderful sunny spring days and warmer temperatures of late March. Too good to last, I say. But to be fully honest, after the dry Winter we had rain was badly needed. Certainly I would be happier if temps were a bit milder but since we can't have it all, despite the weather I've tried to at least create a Spring-ish atmosphere inside my home with a small bouquet of white ranunculus which are now sitting in an antique coffee post on my white side board. That's just enough to perk up my day. After all isn't it so very true that even the small things can make a big difference?

And now on to another Spring-ish note, here's a treasure from my last visit to the local flea market: a lovely vintage aqua green teacup trio with a gilded foliage decor border. So shabby chic! I love love love it! It was love at first sight (many of you know that teacups are another weakness of mine he he he!!!) and had to bring it home with me, which I did for a mere 5 euros!!! I find it so Spring-ish and as I had to stay in because of the rain this afternoon, I treated myself to a delicious five o'clock tea in my new cup cozied up on the couch while reading this month's issues of my fave home decor magazines (for a change!).
It was pure bliss!
