MAS DE 10 MINUTOS CON - ( NANA MOUSKOURI )

"Minha avó disse: - ′′ My grandmother said:

 

"Minha avó disse:

Não deixe suas panelas brilharem mais do que você. Não leve tão a sério a limpeza da casa.

A vida é curta, divirta-se!

Tire o pó, se necessário. Mas reserve um tempo para pintar um quadro ou escrever um poema, passear ou visitar um amigo, cozinhar o que quiser, regar suas plantas...

Tenha um tempo livre para tomar uma cerveja, nadar na praia (ou piscina), escalar montanhas, brincar com cães, ouvir música, ler livros, cultivar seus amigos e curtir a vida.

Tire o pó, se necessário, mas a vida continua lá fora. Você sabe que esse dia nunca mais voltará.

Tire o pó, se necessário, mas não esqueça que você envelhecerá e que muitas coisas que você pode fazer agora não serão tão fáceis de fazer na velhice. E quando você sair, já que todos iremos embora um dia, você também se tornará pó.

E ninguém se lembrará de quantas contas você pagou, nem de sua casa limpa, mas eles se lembrarão de sua amizade, sua alegria e o que você ensinou."

′′ My grandmother said:

Don't let your pots and pans shine brighter than you. Don't take house cleaning so seriously.

Life is short, have fun!

Dust off if needed But take time to paint a painting or write a poem, walk or visit a friend, cook whatever you want, water your plants...

Have a free time to have a beer, swim at the beach (or pool), climb mountains, play with dogs, listen to music, read books, enjoy your friends and enjoy life.

Dust off if needed but life goes on outside. You know this day will never come back.

Dust off if necessary but don't forget that you will age and that many things you can do now won't be as easy to do in old age. And when you leave, since we will all leave one day, you will also become dust.

And no one will remember how many bills you paid, not even your clean house, but they will remember your friendship, your joy and what you taught."

Elsa Schiaparelli Creations

  

                                         

Elsa Schiaparelli could not sew and she didn’t sketch, yet she stormed Paris fashion in the 1920s and 1930s.  Along with Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, she was regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars.

Her collaborations with artists such as Salvador Dalí, Cecil Beaton and Jean Cocteau broke down the barriers between the world of dressmaking and the fine arts. Her maxim was “Dare to be different”, and she was. At her peak, in 1937 to 1939, in Paris, she employed 600 workers and sold 10,000 garments a year. Yet by 1959, her house had gone bankrupt. She died in 1973, aged 83, at her mansion in Paris

When Elsa Schiaparelli passed away, the couture house that she had founded in 1927 had been stripped of its official Haute Couture label. Today, and during the same year of Schiaparelli's 90th anniversary, that label has finally been recovered by the French Ministry of Industry and the French Couture Federation.
