About Me

Hello and welcome to my nest on the net.

I am a 40something wife and mother, a Greek Orthodox Christian saved by grace.

An Archaeologist by training, I worked as an Interior Designer for 15 years. I am now supporting my husband in his new job as a writer.

I love travelling, green tea, Lilly Pulitzer and a sunny attitude.

I blog about interiors, fashion, food, royalty and style, sometimes about life and occasionally about work.

If you want to guest post for me, or if you want me to guest post for you or to review your product, you may contact me at happyturtledeco (at) gmail (dot) (com)

Thanks for stopping by :)

words to live by

όπου πίστις, εκεί αγάπη
όπου αγάπη εκεί ειρήνη
οπού ειρήνη εκεί ευλογία
οπού ευλογία εκεί Θεός

οπού Θεός
ουδεμία ανάγκη.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands. ~1Thessalonians 4:11

Savoir c'est bien, Etre c'est mieux !

Home is where the heart is, the soul's bright guiding star.
Home is where real love is, where our own dear ones are.
Home means someone waiting to give a welcome smile.
Home means peace and joy and rest and everything worthwhile.

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.

George Bernard Shaw

"And don’t suggest I make my own napkins or tablecloth or wrapping paper or anything I can go to HomeGoods and buy".

Mary Engelbreit

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The above speech for Nelson Mandela by Marianne Robertson via Lisa Kaus

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."

"Count it all joy...whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".

James 1:2
