Update - Black Cat Boutique and More

I am just a  'new kid on the block' as a matter of speaking...
So I decided that I start to go on with my Black Cat Boutique before
I want to make my own Fairy Cottage... at the moment...
That is a bit too much for me to start with...
I really want to practice my skills a bit more first lol! ;)

But an update on that later...
First I want to celebrate upcomming MayDay (1th of May)
that's the day that I had choose for my give away :)
And a day we celebrate, well my believings might be a bit different than yours...
But that's fine with me :)

In Greece we celebrate May Day tomorrow,
I know that many counties do celebrate this labour day too.
Here in Greece we make a 'wild flower' door crown!
We collect flowers along the road and in the fields
and put them togheter in a  crown wreath...
I never have made one myself, but I want to do that tomorrow
on this special day :)
 I will go and collect some beautiful wild flowers...

In the meanwhile the owners of my house (they arrived yesterday)
made me a very beautiful 'Stefaní' (that is how these crowns are called here)....

Ain't it just  blooming so bright and beautiful? :)
If you are interested, read some more about 

Next that I wanted to share with you...
is that I went to Nafplio yesterday with my mom and some friends of us.
We had such a perfect day!!!! :)
Beautiful weather, great food at the most charming restaurant...
And some great findings for  my collection :)

(You must know that I have two dogs, a gorgeous colli her name is Nina,
and a dangerous Black Pomeranian her name is Bo ;)
Look what I accidently run into....

And... I found this adorable tiny fairy statue!!
She will look great in my new challenge... 
Look what I won at Katie's Claycorner!! ;)


Today we went to Ermioni for a delicious cup of coffee
and after that we went to the beach to relax.



I always have to search for some great beach findings that the
ocean has brought to land lol!
These are my today's beach findings :)


And last but not least... ;)
I have picked up my work at the Shabby Black Cat Boutique again...
It will be a small and shabby shop
were a friendly fairy sells mostley handmade cat gifts 
Well... not just any cat gift...
She has a passion for Black Cats and wants to show that
black cats are sooo sweet... but also mysterious...
So...
all of her handmade crafts happen to have a black cat on it :)

Ehhem... back to reality... lol!
I have finished the floor for the black cat boutique late last night... 
it was so much fun to do this!


That's all folks! ha ha ha

for now....

Hugs Jollie

Wat een mooie krans heb je gekregen...leuke traditie is dat!!! ben benieuwd wat voor eentje jij vandaag gaat maken!!
Leuk dat je je eigen hondje hebt gevonden in het klein :-) En het elfje is ook schattig! Dus toch eerst maar verder met je boutique...ach, zolang je maar plezier hebt in wat je doet ;-)
Ik wou dat ik zo'n strand hier in de buurt had!

Prachtige krans Jollie. Wat een leuk gebruik voor de 1e mei.
Ben benieuwd naar je vorderingen van je boutique.
Net als Margriet,zou ik ook wel een strand in de buurt willen hebben. Heerlijk lijkt me dat...
