Once upon a sunny day..


I made greek salad for Annies mother, who has been so kind to make some corsets for us. I put the salad on a new plate, I bought, it is shaped like a wineleaf. As I was doing this, I was grabbed by a greek spirit, so I made a little arrangement.
There is icecold retzina from the barrel and extra oregano in the small container. The bread is made by the only baker on this very small island, and the vegetables come from the Tavena owners sisters garden. A quite heavy breeze is blowing in the middle of the day, so the paper-tablecloth is secured by table-pegs. Sit down and enjoy lunchtime, if you can eat more you might order some calimaris with lemon too..

  7. Perfect! I particularly love the red onions :) And can I just say, Susanne, that every time I visit your blog, I have to stop a moment and just enjoy the beauty of the photo you have as your header. The colours, patina and flowers all together make it one of the most beautiful photos of a mini I've ever seen.

  9. Thank you all og you for your compliments!
    Nina: I like the bathtub too. You will find the story about it in one of the first posts, I made.
    Nina and Flora: I am fascinated by the red onions too, but I didn´t make them myself. All the vegetables are made of canes, I bought on Ebay. I just mixed it all together in the salad, and made some feta cheese and some olives too.
    Love Susanne
