Happy New Year!

(Beth Retro)

ing to the LORD, all the earth; 

proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,  

his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

For great is the LORD and most worthy
of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.

Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
Tremble before him, all the earth! 

The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; 

let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” 

Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; 

let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! 

Let the trees of the forest sing, 

let them sing for joy before the LORD, 

for he comes to judge the earth.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 

his love endures forever.
Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior; 

gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name, 

and glory in your praise.” 

Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, 

from everlasting to everlasting. 

1 Chronicles 16:23-36

A little break

I´m taking a little break from blogging this week, to rest and find new inspiration.  
See you next year!

Though I´m not a fan of Mariah´s person, she does have an extroardinary voice which I never tire of listening to. Fabulous performance of a Christmas classic from Mariah´s good ol´ days.

Something green

A little present I prepared for my cousin´s birthday with my favourite herbs: basil, oregano and chives. I love herbs, they look great plus they come in handy whilst cooking nearly anything.

Petits détails

Petits détails sells some lovely ribbons to accesorize your wrapping. Each prettier than the one before. Aren´t they sweet?

Wrapping up

Here are some photos of last year´s wrapping, and this was my inspiration.
This year I´m inspired by something more colorful, but I haven´t got started yet, have you?

Colorful wrapping

El mercadito azul

Lucila recently launched her new business with a friend, and they are selling these beautiful tea towels. Aren´t they lovely? I´d take them all... I especially love the patterns set!
For starters, they are producing towels, but in the near future they´ll be incorporating more products. Can´t wait to see what they do next!

Something green

Maidenhair is one of my favourite plants. It´s so delicate.

The Dying Swan

Lagerfeld created a special costume for English National Ballet´s prima ballerina Elena Glurdjidze, that took 100 hours to complete. Here, a clip of Elena dancing during her costume fitting at Chanel.

Stella McCartney

I´m definitely not a sporty person, but if I ever went to dance lessons, I´d be wearing this. Lovely sportswear by Stella McCartney.

En pointe

Loving these ballerina inspired shoes from Chie Mihara.

Ballerina Project

The Ballerina Project is a collaboration featuring some stunning photographs of ballerinas all over New York City. They have some lovely prints for sale on their facebook page. More beautiful images on their blog.
