Hotel Korali in Naxos Greece

Today I am sharing with you the boutique hotel we stayed at in Naxos Greece. I took a bit of a risk and booked everything through airbnb which actually worked out really well. Naxos took us by surprise. The Island is absolutely beautiful and we felt like at home. It didn't hurt that there is a huge Scandinavian community there. A whole lot of Danes and few of the menu's were in Danish.
We rented a room for 3 and we were pleasantly surprised how the pictures online matched the room we got. So comfortable, stylish and clean. We were minutes away from St. George's beach. Here are some photos that I snapped once we came inside....

Everything was nice and clean and newly renovated

Bamboo ceiling

A little kitchenette which was perfect

I personally loved the bathroom....all tiles that looked like wood

A small balcony...perfect for eating breakfast

A beautiful entrance

This is the hallway between 3 rooms that are equally stylish and comfortable. It would be really cool to stay there with a big group...just sayin...

I am certain we will be back! We paid $40 for the night....What's not to love?

Cape Cod

Hello again, what a nice long blog break I have had. Hope to find you all healthy and happy and ready to face the Fall. This summer has been a busy one. Travel, work and entertaining guests. It's all fun and part of the Sum sum summahtime!

Today I want to share with you our yearly trip to Wellfleet Cape Cod. I took so many photos and I am posting some of my favorites. 

Cliffside is the cottage we rent. The cottages aren't very fancy but they have everything we need. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, outdoor shower, fully equipped kitchen, and for the first time this year free wi-fi!

A short walk to the end of the street and we are on the beach!

Across the street from us is a very cute cottage that our friends rent.

I snapped some photos from the front porch

Such a lovely little fenced in front porch.

Wellfleet has a cute little downtown. It's almost like in a movie...Library, post office, general store, thrift store and some other cute little boutiques. I got some photos from the local fish market. When I walk in there I am reminded of how I miss Iceland and the fish stores there. It smells the same.

Next time I will share with you a visit to a brand new store in Wellfleet. I loved how the owner displayed all the things she had for sale so tasteful and inviting.

Until next time

Do It Yourself Ideas

Raise your hand if you love Pinterest!
I have this sand project that I am currently working on. I collect sand from my travels and put it in a jar with a sticker marked where it is from - like a sand vacation timeline.
Originally I saw this on Pinterest and I loved the idea.

Here are pictures of my current project

I opted for a jar with a lid on since it gets dusty pretty quick

How about you? Have you done a Pinterest DIY Project that resulted in pure joy and happiness? :-)

If so I would love to showcase it here on my blog...Just email me some photos 

bryntaglio@gmail.com and I will take care of the rest. 

Thanks for stopping by

Beach

Man, it is so nice to go on vacation but even nicer to be back home.
After a week long stay at Cape Cod I have re-charged and re-centered. Summer is not over though, lot's of things to do and enjoy. I have a long list of To-Do's for the week including yard work...Yelp...
Those weeds have a mind of their own and apparently decided to multiply in my absence. My vegetable garden looks great though, thanks to a neighborhood boy that I paid to water the plants.
 Few photos to follow just to show how beautiful the beach is. I love the sound and smell of it!
