Traveling to … Old Favorites :: Nazaré Part II

July 28, 2023 · Leave a Comment

I first became enamored with the seaside town of Nazaré as a young teen, and then had the chance of getting to know this traditional yet cool place several years ago during a weekend getaway — where the powerful waves made their mark, the famed peixeiras dressed in their sete saias {fisherwomen dressed in seven…

Traveling to ... the Enchanting + Inspiring Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston || Dreamery Travels

Be forewarned, this special place has since become one of my favorite travels for its sheer amount of inspiration, gorgeous indoor garden, art and architecture — but really its enchanting and mysterious unsolved case of stolen paintings that draws in all the intrigue!

Last time I spent a day’s adventure in Aveiro, I was with my cousin … riding the moliceiro boats along the famed canals, once used for transporting salt, walking and gazing at the varying architecture including the city’s known nouveau style, to ending it all with a sunset dinner of local seafood and fish delights…

You may know the beautiful quote “into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” by John Muir, it’s one of my favorites. For me, it also applies to whenever exploring a new city — especially one rich in history, and particularly Lisboa. It’s certainly near and dear to my heart,…

Traveling to … the historical brick row houses & cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill

October 12, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Traveling to ... Beacon Hill

Something about Beacon Hill’s historical brownstones, black shutters and old iron streetlamp lined cobblestone streets, still dressed in varying shades of lingering summer greens and colors now metamorphosing into warmer tones — that simply evokes Autumn. Don’t you think? It may have been the last day of August, but it certainly felt September had emerged from…

What is there to say about a minha linda Serra da Estrela. Spending my summers here, growing up, as a young girl submersed in nature, food and family, it intertwined itself into very much who I am. My soul and heart are blissful when I’m here. How can one not be? Surrounded by lovely mountain…

  What can I say, my heart loves scenic countryside views and terracotta roof tiled homes… As travel begins to pick up, rather quickly and ferociously from the looks of it {I mean I can’t blame anyone for wanting to just hit the road and adventure — as long as it’s being done safely}, there…

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️
