Friday Finds:: Blossom

Hello friends!
A little late and a little short Friday Finds this week.
I had an exhausting but good week and it seems like the weekend won't give me an opportunity to rest! But that's all in a good way as we are traveling and enjoying the perfect weather.

I felt the need with something pretty this Friday, something to sooth the soul and distract from the news, and so, this Friday Finds is about the beauty of blossom in everyday objects.

Wishing you a lovely, sweet and happy weekend!! Love, Galit xx



P.S. I'm updating the Lovely Ways to Help Japan post on a regular basis with more ways to help. You are most welcome to check it out here.

Friday Finds:: Stripes

Hello Noodles!!
It is this happy day again when you can smell the weekend sneaking in! whoohoo!!
We're going to spend a very cozy weekend with my parents who came for their annual visit in Australia. It's so great to have them here!!

I'm totally in a vacation mood and started planning our trip to Melbourne for the next weekend (by the way, I'm looking for tips!!! I'll be so thankful for any recommendations of interesting things to do/eat/visit/walk/see!)
Holidays always make me want to wear stripes and so I'm wrapping this week with a stripey edition of Friday Finds.

Hope your week was lovely! Whatever your plans for the upcoming weekend are, I hope you'll have fabulous and happy time!! See you here on Monday!
Love, Galit xx

Friday Finds:: Autumn

It is Friday again!
This week brought with it cold winds and chilly evenings. No doubt autumn is here.
I have to say that the last couple of months were not considered as summer in my book. It was more likely a very long spring that turned into autumn.
We hardly had any hot days and the grass at the front yard is still green.
I wonder how the winter is going to be, as last year, it was the coldest winter for the last ten or fifteen years and it was sure cold enough for me.
With autumn, the wine vintage season is full on and my man is harvesting grapes and works pretty much around the clock. Good luck South Australian wine makers with this year's vintage! It will be an interesting one.

I'm wrapping the week with some autumnal Etsy favorites.
What are your plans for the weekend? Hope you enjoy the new season, whatever it is in your part of the world!!
See you here on Monday! Galit xx

Friday Finds:: If in doubt, I always use yellow

Hello Noodles!
It was a visually busy week here at the Slow Noodle and I feel the need for subtler, muted colours. Not sure that this post can be considered subtler, but as the title suggest; If in doubt, I always use yellow (my favorite color!)


What are your plans for the weekend?
The Adelaide Fringe Festival is on,  which means a lot of things are going on in the city. We have such a busy agenda, trying to squeeze so many happenings into one busy weekend and leave some time for a good rest (very challenging...).
Wishing you a weekend full with fun and happy moments!! Will see you all here on Monday! xo Galit

Friday Finds:: Happiness

Hello Noodles! How was your week?
Mine was a very happy one. Change can bring so much energies with it and this little change here at the blog was a good and reinvigorating one.
Thanks so much for your sweet words and encouragement!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
A special thank you to Lori for the mention! Much love!

I'm wrapping this week with some happy Etsy favorites. Whatever your plans for the weekend are, I hope it will be full with love, cuddles and laughter. See you here on Monday! Galit xx

Hello dear bloggy friends!!
Hope you all had a good and productive week!
Mine was hectic and I am so eager for a relaxing weekend.
We have plans to visit an interesting wine festival at the Adelaide Hills on Sunday and have a quiet Saturday at the beach. What are your plans?

I'm wrapping this week with some starry Etsy favorites.
Have a great weekend lovelies and see you here on Monday! Galit xx

Friday Finds:: Once Upon a Time

Hello dear friends and hello Friday!!
It was a hustle bustle kind of week, but also a week full with energy, new ideas and directions. It is probably the vibe of the new year, bringing so much enthusiasm with it! Do you feel the same?

I'm looking forward for this weekend, to have some quite time and enjoy great cooking, crabbing, and also a time to catch up with some reading (I've lately joined Diana's Slow Readers Club and am now so eager to go back to read slowly and thoroughly and not mix up 4-6 books at the same time as I'm doing now...).

Have a warm, cozy and delicious weekend my lovelies!!
See you all on Monday!! Love, Galit xx

Sunday Finds:: Diamonds

The weekend was super busy with The Man lending a friend a hand with his wine, brewing a new batch of beer (a Belgian one this time) and me baking fresh Sourdough bread (a new great hobby of ours!). You can figure out easily that we spent a lot of time in the kitchen which is one of my definitions for an happy weekend!
Other than that we had lots of time with friends, celebrating birthdays and other happy moments.

I meant to wrap up the week with a selection of my favorite {faux} Diamonds from Etsy, but somehow with all the weekend preparations, this little post is much behind schedule. Better Late than Never the phrase says, so I hope you will still enjoy those finds even that late!
Have a wonderful remainder of your weekend my friends! See you again tomorrow. xx Galit

Friday Finds: Departures

Oh, hello dear friends!!
I'm writing you from the other side of the world, where people drive on the right and X-mas is celebrated in the winter!
We had absolutely great flights (although SO long!) and awesome stop-over in Hong Kong (which I'll blog about when I'm back) and here we are, fighting the jet-leg bravely and enjoying some very happy family time!!

I hope you enjoyed my 'departures' week here! This week's Friday Finds will wrap the Departures week with Etsy finds that are inspired by travels.
Do you have any plans to travel somewhere this weekend? Whatever your plans are, have a wonderful, magical weekend lovelies! Galit xx

Friday Finds:: Comfort

Hello friends!
I have to tell you, this week was busy, busy, busy and I really need some relaxing time. I'm warping the week with a collection of items from my Etsy faves, items that made me feel at ease just from looking at them and could bring comfort at the end of an hectic week.
Have a warm and peaceful weekend dears! xx

We are off tomorrow for another camping weekend, this time at The Coorong, where we hope to find empty long beaches, wild bushes and silence (and maybe a nice fishing spot for The Man).
See you again on Monday my dears and in the meantime, here are a few of my Etsy yellow faves.
xx, Galit

P.S. How is the weather at your part of the world? It seems like the 'climate change' phrase is heard more and more lately isn't it? I read about terrible heat waves everywhere. Here it is still cold and rainy but apart of that, quite normal. Stay cool my friends of the Northern Hemisphere!

{Super late} Friday Finds:: The Alphabet

Oh my, even Saturday is almost over in our part of the world but I hope you'll forgive me as I have a special, extended Friday Finds this week!
I've been missing some typography around the Slow-Blog lately and thought it could be nice to go back to basic and make an Alphabet collection. I couldn't help it and sneaked in also a little bracket and (well, of course) one ampersand for dessert...




It was a great pleasure to curate this Friday Finds collection. I found the Alphabet in so many shapes, different expressions and variations that it was absolutely stunning.
Hope you'll enjoy this week's edition as much as I do!

Have a wonderful weekend my dears!
