My heart belongs to Samos

These two hearts I photographed some years ago when we were driving by bike from Pythagorion to Ireon. Then we were not anxious to stay in this little village. 

This summer we decided to book an extra holiday in Ireon. The decision was a perfect one. Ireon is a peaceful place to have a relaxing holiday.

Instagram leaded me to these beautiful rings. Both of these is made by talented Maria Karavatou. She is a Creator/Designer at Kerannymi jewellery.  Their workshop is in Manolates which is a photogenic village on the mountains on the north side of Samos island. 

When I use these rings I got a wonderful feeling and power of our happy memories.

Holiday makes me smily and relaxed. My passion is to take pictures everywhere I go and you can imagine how much photos is in my albums. 

My blog is the place where I can share my sun and shine. 

Enjoy it! Hugs, Tuija

My Samos impressions

https://www.instagram.com/samos_in_my_mind/

I feel nostalgic. Year ago I was leaving hotel Arion in Kokkari after a wonderful holiday. My friend Argiro from Visit Samos agency took me to a delicious supper to one of the most personal restaurants. Sorry I don't remember the name just now but I'm sure you know it if you have been in Kokkari. It is colorful and full of handmade things and beautiful furniture. Really decorative! Write a comment and help me, please!

Samos is somehow really familiar to me and at the same time full of unknown corners. Hope to see as many of those as possible in the future. 

Almost every day Samos comes to my mind. Summer, sun and sea makes me feel happy also in the pictures. I can feel the atmosphere through the photos which empowers me. Do you know the feeling through my Samos impressions? Welcome along!

                                          Best wishes! Tuija

Olive grove

I can hardly imagine anything better than drive by bike or walk in peace through this old olive grove near Pythagorion Marina. On our first trip to Samos we walked first time by this lovely path to the town from Hotel Naftilos. It was amazing!

                       See you in July! Tuija

Peaceful Christmas!

Serenity

My pictures from Samos make me feel peaceful and relaxed. The power of greek atmosphere is unbelievable. It is like a huge hug. 

Thankful, Tuija

Samos sun in my mind

Early in the morning

Late in the evening

I got lots of strength while I was a photo blogger in Samos and still the pictures I took give me the power of Samos sun into my heart. 

Thank you my friends: Nicholaos and Maria!

Samos calendar

Villa Iiris

Today is a rainy day in Finlad. This melancholic feeling makes me miss our marvellous journeys in Greece though it's nice to light candles in our veranda.

Two years ago I made a power calendar for my husband. We have taken  lots of beautiful pictures and I selected some of them to this use. 

I had a black calendar, washitapes, glue and lots of inspiration. 

This calendar is still really congenial, empowering and eternal in Lauri's workshop Koti meidän.
