Simple Life

A usual day at my studio: meditating in front of the wool, making a new pair of slippers, finding time for a cup of coffee and a quick look out of the window. Feeling happy....

He Who Travels


He who travels. A man with a sense of style. The one who is in love with having a good coffee, eating some raw chocolate, reading old books, smoking a good cigar or even a pipe, drinking whiskey, who is taking notes on his trips. The one who just enjoys his life. A sensual pleasure lover.
A man who definitely wears a tie bow, some cufflinks, maybe mini earring posts.....
Do you imagine him?.....Do you know him?....

As they say, " Lensbaby is where innovation inspires creativity, where imagination comes alive, where inspiration surpasses expectation." I totally agree with this.

Nine Gifts for Moms

Mother's day is coming soon, so let's not forget about the gifts! Maybe your mother would be happy with so beautiful earrings or white necklace, maybe she needs some warmth to her feet, hands or neck... If she is a crafter, she would be more than happy to get handspun wool yarn or a pin cushion. And surely, everybody needs a runner for a table.

THE COLORS OF SPRING

Let's meet Kristina and her spring feelings. Kristina is an entrepreneur, photographer and a crafter. She loves colors, they are her main inspiration and creative fuel and you can easily see this in her beautiful shop on Etsy CupofColor

"Oh Spring... I just love how nature is waking up after the cold and bare winter. Everything seems to be more alive and joyful. Birds are singing, grass is getting greener each day and days are getting longer and longer. Spring also brings so much joy for the color lovers, all of the blooming flowers and budding leaves. Last year while photographing in nature I took this picture which since has become my color palette of Spring. It's a picture of a bush branch with vibrant green buds on a brownish background. Soon after taking this picture I realized these colors are the most common ones in this season, brown bark and green buds and leafs."

So here is her Spring palette with four lovely colors (RGB color codes included) and some beautiful items that compliment these colors and are great choices for this season.

Laisvės alėja

First of all, some basic information about Kaunas main street, Laisvės alėja.

"Laisvės Alėja (literally Liberty Boulevard or Liberty Avenue) is a prominent pedestrian street in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania. It stretches between the St. Michael the Archangel's Byzantine-style church to the Central Post Office and Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum, around the Kaunas Old Town, the oldest section of Kaunas. For a long time it was the main commercial district of Kaunas.
Stretching for 1.6 kilometres (1 mi), Laisvės Alėja is the longest pedestrian street in Eastern Europe.Motor vehicles cannot travel along Laisvės Alėja, but can cross it at intersections with other streets where motor traffic is permitted. The boulevard is separated into two walkways by a median strip lined with linden trees.

History
Much of the construction around Laisvės Alėja originally took place during the latter half of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th century. At the time, Kaunas Fortress was also being constructed around the city. As a result all the buildings were limited to a height of 2–3 floors, with a few exceptions such as St. Michael the Archangel's church, built in 1895.
In 1982, Laisvės Alėja was reconstructed according to plans of architects V. Palauskas and V. Paleckienė, and completely transformed into pedestrian area (as it was planned as early as 1953)."

And now - the present.
The new reconstruction of this street was planned for years, and finally, it started this Monday. This fact inspired me to not only to take photos of this process but to create a special page for it on Facebook: Laisvės alėja. The Reconstruction. Stage 1
