Little (cute) space to daydream abroad

——

I am not crayzay about the idea of traveling during summer holidays. I know, these are the delicious months in Europe, yadiyadiya' but, it's school holidays, meaning everywhere you go, it's packed to the roof. Everything is overpriced and you need to book a table wherever you go (am I the only one who never books a spots somewhere?! am I the only one who doesn't think about where we will have dinner in three weeks from now?! what's up world?!). That being said, I still get a bit of summertime-joy fomo (and I am absolutely not a fomo-type-of-person. I'm more team jomo (joy of missing out)).

Ok! Here are some Airbnbs that I'd love to book one day.

A tiny scandinavian house on an island in Norway. A cute cabin somewhere in upstate New York. The old donkey farmhouse in south of Portugal. This mystical out-of-a-book cottage in Scotland. This apartment in Roma, on Piazza Navona. An off-grid house somewhere in the desert of California.

Okkkkkkkkkkk full transparency, when I travel somewhere I kinda don't care much about fashion stores or such. I only care about food, bookshops and little cute shops like these.

I found these amazing list of seaside shops on this amazing website: The Shop Keepers

SeaCraft in Maine (US)

Molesworth and Bird in Lyme (UK)

Rodozaxari Paradosiaka Proionta in Andros (Greece)

John Darian in Provincetown (US)

adding these straight to my google-maps-endless list of things to see.

Full disclosure, I am not a great cook.

I mean I can give myself a kick in the butt and prepare something not too shabby but I can't say I am enjoying the process. It kinda gives me anxiety more than anything else (except when disco-fresh friends like Emily join me in the kitchen and we make pavlova).

But I freakin' love setting a table.

I love people who do it so brilliantly, I love instagram accounts about it. I love love love the curation of a dinner table. Pure admiration for those who do it effortlessly à la Marta Stewart.

Here are a few links of things I've saved recently.

In full honesty, I mostly buy my tableware when I travel. I love to bring back from my getaways typical local table cloths or napkins. I always bring back two or three plates from Italy, some apetizers bowls from Greece or Morocco. Little bits and bobs here and there that I gather along the way.

Maison Flaneur has an excellent selection

Such as Glassette.

Anthropologie releases seasonally some sweet gems.

and here are two cute things from Etsy — one and two.
