Once upon a time four friends traveled between the islands of the Cyclades, stopping to sample fresh fish, cocktails in the evening sun, and the warm Mediterranean breezes. It was unforgettable.
The OG challenge to capture something of the essence of a vacation, real or imagined, lead me to revisit that memorable time and create some ATCs with a tiny bit of the flavour of the time.
First a little of the stark beauty that is Thira.....
...antiquities around every corner......
....and walking under strings of octopus drying in the sun.
Proves that I wasn't silly to save those little bits of ephemera afterall.
I love being part of a team that is spread across the ocean....over on the other side of the world its nothing like the winter weather we have here in Melbourne, but I can dream.....
So for a challenge that's all about the bountiful harvest of summer I had to put my nose outside my blankets. This little ATC makes me think it might be summer soon....and when it rolls around, I'll sit on a rug in the sun and eat strawberries..........
I discovered a strip of bunting from kaisercraft and it was just the right colour for these little circles. The string and papers are all from TE kits and FINALLY the busy room shelves are little emptier!
