But now it’s really time for Spring…

After my last post – so one and a half weeks ago, time passes so fast – I escaped the cold, grey, wintery weather here in Sweden and took a plane to Spain. Yes. I enjoyed a whole week of Spanish Spring and it was amazing.

Warm, beach, sunny, sea. Blooming flowers, green grass. Being outside without five layers of clothes.

Don’t get the wrong idea – it was far from really hot summer weather and no, we did not take a swim in the sea. For that it is definitely too early. But it was amazing to feel the sun on the skin, to sit outside in the restaurants, to see the nature waking up. It was perfect for recharging my batteries and filling up my body with sun.

Best Friends

The last two weeks, Göteborg was full of film people – it was time for the biggest film festival of Northern Europe, the Göteborg International Film Festival.

We’ve been out to see some really, really good movies that would absolutely deserve an own post each of them 🙂 But was I liked most about the festival was actually the poster of this year’s festival…

It is so amazing that I’m constantly thinking about whether I should buy it or not – it would fit so well in the apartment 😉

The Notebook

For the last week, I’ve tried to find a pretty scratchbook-notepad-writingbook-thingie. One with a pretty cover, not just some white or grey or black one that says “notepad” on it. But not one with pink cheesy flowers or weird abstract patterns either. I wanted to use it for sketching my sewing and decoration ideas or any other pretty thoughts coming to my mind. So I wanted it to be inspiring and it should somehow fit my personality and the purpose. I know, I know, quite some requirements. But creativity needs special surroundings, doesn’t it? 

Spring Preparations

One of my favorite swedish interior-decoration-design brands is Village. I bought a lot of this year’s Christmas decoration there as I left most of mine back home in Austria when moving to Sweden. And every single cookie box, Christmas tree ball or table cloth I bought there turned out to be a really good buy and made me and Christmas time even more special.

Now, when I cleaned up my wallet yesterday I discovered that I have a -20% voucher from Village left, that I got as a Thank You for one of my decoration shopping. Lucky me! And as it happens, the voucher is only valid until end of January. Which basically means that I should really go to the local store this week and make sure I do not waste those precious -20%, right? 😉 

Resolutions. Or so.

After two weeks of Christmas-NYE-Visitors-Everything-Is-Upside-Down the New Year is finally arriving in my life too and I’m getting back to a daily routine, including blogging 🙂

And what else could be the perfect subject for the first post in the New Year than New Year’s Resolutions, ha?! Probably really boring as you can read something about it everywhere. But I’ll still write about it. It’s my blog after all 😉

So. New Year’s Resolutions. I hate them.
