Natalijin dan / Natalia’s day
Natalia se ove subote probudila nakon što skoro nije ni zaspala. Sate odmora broji malim brojevima jer je prije manje od godinu dana otvorila restoran u Zagrebu. Otprilike u isto vrijeme započela je i vezu s čovjekom s kojim danas slavi 10 zajedničkih mjeseci. Proslava će biti radna, ali na kraju dana Nataliu očekuje iznenađenje. Još jedan razlog za proslavu: danas je ostvarila najveći promet otkad restoran postoji. Čestitam!
Upoznajte Nataliu.
P.S. Obvezno navratite u Kišu bar na “Sirotice” jer cijeli grad priča o njima s jako dobrim razlogom – prefine su!

Last night Natalia didn’t get much sleep, but it’s already Saturday, another work day. Lately she needs fingers on just one of her hands to count the hours of sleep and rest, since this year she decided to open a restaurant in Zagreb. About at the same time, she started a relationship with a man with whom today she celebrates their 10 months being together. It will be a working celebration, but there will also be a reward for the hard work at the end of the day. Another reason to celebrate: today they achieved the best turnover since the restaurant started to work. Congratulations!
Meet Natalia.
P.S. If in Zagreb, you must come to Kiša and try “Sirotice” – those are super delicious!
This was terrific and I think it is one of the best photo essays–if not the best–that you have done so far. I loved the photos at home especially the one where she and her daughter are just sitting together-there is a peace in her face that is hard to describe-that despite all that is going on, she still takes a moment to hold her daughter and just “be” in the moment. The restaurant shots were great-you can feel the energy in the place as people come and go. Looks like a good place to eat too-the food looked delicious. I cannot wait to see what you do next!
Thank you :)
Sending you hugs!
Great photo essay. I agree about the shots with the daughter: very peaceful.
I was reminded of Wordsworth:
“The world is too much with us. Late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.”
Thank you. It is a nice poem you posted :)
Hey!! just saw your new entry! That’s great! The cool rocker Natalia…and her family:) She got out from some fairytale…isn’t she?? :) And her super sweet daughter is simply a miracle…
Well done, my dear…
Bravo!
Hmmm, a fairytale – It just might be true :)
Hahaha That little one jumping on the bed cracked me up. But now the food ones have made me hungry, so I have to go cook something… Another great post!
She was only demonstrating how the frog moves ;)
Ah, well that makes sense then. :) Very informative.
To be honest, that was my favorite too :)
I thought of you when I was there, you know. They were playing some music all the time and were changing it as the atmosphere changed in the restaurant. I was looking at what they are playing and thinking if I should play it along with the post, but it would not be good. The morning music would not fit the noon atmosphere, the noon music would not fit evening atmosphere… So I left it musicless this time :(
: ) I love it, the power of music (and respect for it)! It makes me want to set up an exhibit/experiment to see just how much different music enhances people’s experiences. The same set of photos/food/whatever, with silence for one group, soft/calm music for another, and rambunctious fast for the third… But for now, something singable while I make lunch.
You probably already know it, but when you say a combination of food-porn and music I instantly think of Luana and her blog. She posts some beautiful food porn in her collages, and every once in a while also plays a good tune. Here is the link just in case you didn’t already stumble upon her: http://benvenutocellini.wordpress.com/
Or just click on her in above comments :)
I hadn’t found that one yet, thanks for the referral; I’m always up for food-porn, photos, and music.
i LOVE your pictorials. i’ve looked at all of them!
All of them all the way to the end? :)
Unfortunately, I have no rewards for committed readers and can only give you a big THANK YOU :)
Ovo je zakon! Možda i najbolji dan dosad. Svakako ću svratiti u Kišu!
Wow! Komentar na hrvatskom! Ček, ček…u šoku sam :)
Hvala :)
Hahaha ;) Ipak smo mi kolegice vorumašice, pratim tvoj blog već neko vrijeme. Otkad sam i ja u svijetu bloganja, još više cijenim tuđe blogove jer znam koliko ljubavi i truda stoji iza toga. ;)
Great post!
An ordinary morning…?
Thank you :)
As much as I can tell that was a pretty ordinary morning. I didn’t feel they were acting, posing or being unnatural :)
Hey its beautiful!! A picture is worth a thousand words…. and you have justified the same so perfectly! Thanks for making the World a better place :)
Thank you :)
