MY ROOM IN SYMI!

I'm back from Symi with lovely memories and images in my heart! More pics coming in the next days... and for a start, this has been my lovely home during my stay on the tiny island! The nights are so peaceful on Symi... and I felt so safe and sheltered in my adorable room with its blue shutters... I particularly love this room because it's been "my room" each time I've been staying at Stamatia's lovely place!

This is the front of the pension where I was staying...

And this is the back, with my lovely room...

SYMI TOMORROW!

So tomorrow I will be taking the Dodekanisos Express (high-speed ferry) to Symi! My jewelry exhibition at the Olive Tree Cafe is scheduled on Sunday as a part of the Queen's Jubilee Party, and I will spend a little time on the island and will be back in Rhodes on Monday afternoon. For those of you who haven't seen last year's posts from Symi, here is a preview of the island's views! Symi is an enchanting little island just a few miles off the Turkish coast of Anatolia and quite close to Rhodes too (50 minutes by speed boat). Time seems to stand still here, as mass tourism has never arrived and never will. Wonderful neoclassical houses line the main town's natural harbour, and the white-washed alleys and stairs leading up the hills are just dreamy. The Olive Tree is located in the upper village (Chorio), and it's really more-than-just-a-cafe, as Jenine and Tina offer so much more than lovely drinks and food! They host lots of interesting events, they organize walking tours and even art classes. So this is a great location for my show!

Καλό Μήνα και κυρίως Καλό Καλοκαίρι!!!! Να φτιάξει και ο καιρός να αλλάξει η διάθεση...

Πολλές εκπλήξεις μέσα στον Ιούνιο... αναμείνατε στον υπολογιστή σας!

JEWELRY SHOW ON SYMI!

On Sunday, 3 June, the lovely Olive Tree Cafe on Symi (upper village, Chorio) is having a party to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and lovely Jenine and Tina invited me to show my jewelry on this occasion! A part of the proceeds from my sales will go to Symi Animal Welfare. I'm so happy and excited for this wonderful opportunity to show my jewelry at such an amazing location!

Δίαιτα πριν το καλοκαίρι;;;; Γιατί;;;;

Τα πάχη μου τα κάλλη μου και σε βραχιόλια!!!! Σε δέρμα και σε καουτσούκ, σε πορτοκαλί και σε μαύρο, με ασημί και με χρυσό, αλλά πάντα με όλες τις αγαπημένες μου καμπύλες....

A SIMPLE EARRING DISPLAY!

I turned a placemat into a display for simple glass earrings... It looks nice! I love repurposing things! :)

A DREAMY ART-CAFE

I love sitting in this lovely cafe-art gallery in the Old Town, and sipping my Greek frappe! The atmosphere is just dreamy, and I love having a chat with lovely owner Alexandra. Definitely a place to daydream a few hours away! You can see more pics on the cafe's website.
