Travels With My Sister - Jaffa's flea market


My sister and I often go on fascinating, exhausting shopping trips.

Our destination is most often Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is very hot in the summer and the humidity can be hard to bear, but the city never disappoints and we always discover new things.

We began this trip in Jaffa's flea market, and to be precise in a small café in the center of the flea market.

It was difficult to get up and leave after an hour, the breakfast, the chair and the air conditioning in favor of the heat outside but our schedule was tight.


Flea market
The flea market in Jaffa is always surprising in the variety it carries and its colorfulness.
We tried on second-hand clothes and jewelry, looked at used lamps, but did not buy anything in spite of the wide selection we found.

We continued to
Rina Zin's studio and bought a few clothes to put in the closet, we almost fainted over Daniella Lehavi's shoes and bags, walked into Frau Blau's and then into Obsessia because we are obsessed with second hand clothes. In Sheinkin we got a bit tired and went to eat 'Sabih' which, if you are unfamiliar, is a pita bread with fried eggplants, hard boiled eggs, and baked potatoes, with amba (Mango sauce) and tahini.

On her way home my sister stopped at IKEA for a quick buy. Shopping never tires us, on the contrary!

Till next time,

Summer Crafts For Kids


Fun crafts for kids

The summer vacation is here, the children are home most of the time and I'm looking for creative activities that might lure them away from the computer screen even for a while.

When I choose craft ideas for kids to do at home, my main concerns are how much mess they will create and how long will it take to restore order, because the summer vacation is long and I need to conserve my strength to last me all summer.

I love going through Pinterst. I can always find inspiration there and ideas for fun crafts for kids. As always, I quickly found what I was looking for.

Here are two craft ideas for kids that you can easily make at home without a lot of preparation. The inspiration for the first project came from Isabelle Kessedjian .
We took empty milk cartons and colored them with acrylic paints. After the paint dried the kids drew windows, doors and balconies.

The inspiration for building a house from an empty cardboard box came from Bella Dia.

The kids had so much fun that we were almost late for their swimming lesson.

Gift Wrapping Without Paper


 unique gift wrapping ideas
 Apron wrap


The inspiration for gift wrapping without paper came from two sources I came across this week:


The wrap artist John Boak whose work re-defined gift wrapping for me.

And the book by Tina Seelig What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the Worldthe executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program,

where she presents different methods to get more creative, widen the boundaries of our thoughts, notice opportunities and get much more out of life than we think is possible.
