This week we decided to take a break from our daily routine,and we drove all the way to Salta: one of the most beautiful provinces of Argentina, and also home of my in-laws here in Argentina. Every time we come here (at least once a year), I enjoy going around the house finding its treasures.
The one I love the most is my father in law's owl collection, which holds a couple hundreds of them from all around the world. There's always something new for me to admire that in real life is really old.
Like this crocheted throw that my mother in law made out of yarn scraps many years ago for one of the her children some 20 years ago.
An old clock...
And like that I spend my time finding lovely moments like the asados (Argentine grilling events), the singing, the landscapes, the sharing of it all... so much to treasure.
Esta semana estamos tomando un descansito de nuestra rutina diaria y nos vinimos a Salta, que es una de las provincias mas lindas de Argentina y el lugar donde reside parte de nuestra familia. Cada vez que venimos acá (una vez al año) me gusta explorar la casa familiar para encontrar sus tesoros.
Lo que más me gusta estudiar es la colección de búhos de mi suegro, la cual tiene un par de cientos de búhos traídos de diferentes partes del mundo.
Siempre hay algo nuevo para mi, algo nuevo que en realidad es muy viejo como esta colcha a crochet que mi suegra tejió hace mas de 20 años para uno de sus hijos con toda la lanita sobrante de otros proyectos; nueva para mi ya que es la primera vez que la encuentro.
Un antiguo reloj...
y así paso mi semana, encontrando no solo objetos hermosos pero también disfrutando de los asados, las cantadas, los paisajes, momentos para compartir y atesorar.

I am loving your father in law's owl collection and your mother in law's blanket is just beautiful! When we went on our vacation to the Philippines, I "inherited" two of my grandmother's blankets and stole a few of my moms as well. Something about wrapping yourself in a blanket, especially when it has history eases my soul.
Looks like you guys had a wonderful time!

Hi Venus!! I love it too! The blanket is mine now. I ask my BIL for it and he didn't mind sharing it with the girls. I love all the knitted good my MIL makes for the family. What do your girls think about your 'new' blankets??
