Vacation!!!

Hello everyone,

I have 3 weeks of vacation ahead of me! Yay! However for 2,5 weeks I won´t go anywere but the magic country of balconya. In case you don´t know that place of the world, it is situated right infront of my sleeping room! And one week of it I will be mostly by myself because John is working. So I make quick progress on home decorating right now!

I think Iam done with Chippie now.

Lavender and daisies on my window. I love the smell of lavender in the evening.

And I wait for the rest of furnitures for the living room to be delivered and set up. Today we got the dinnertable and chairs. However the table was so heavy I couldn´t carry it upstairs all by myself and the chairs came with no manual,but way too many strange things to use for setting them up. I can´t do it myself. I have to wait for John with it. However I know now that the chair-colors go with the wall-color (I chose brown, lemon yellow, turqoise and light blue for the chairs, but you will see photos soon!). I kept running up and down 3 floors the whole morning trying to get stuff upstairs. Phew. Is it ok if I skip hula hooping tonight?

Yesterday our stove was installed, too so I can pretend to be an domestic goddess right now. Phew.... I should go downstairs once more to buy vegetables to go with the dinner now.... Work never ends - even on vacation

Iam back online!!!

Hello everyone,

Iam back online! REALLY online I mean! I had the internet phone, however typing on it takes forever, I couldn´t read blogs and not really respond to messages either. So if you wrote, messaged, whatever - don´t take it personal that I did not reply. I just couldn´t!!! :-)

Slowly things are starting to look up. Every evening after work there is a lot of things to do. The laundry, that kept piling because we had no wasching maschine previously and either had to go to a wash salon or handwash, is fainally getting less, I sorted my private library by genre and I hope John will get out his driller to make the picture frames and the mirrow hang where they ought to... As the progress goes on here is a picture of my boudoirs current state...

The mirror is still laying on my kidney formed vanity, there are still boxes standing around, stuff on the wondow board that shouldn´t be there, but it starts to get fewer and fewer and the little shelf is still standing around (I consider putting it above my chippendale and store my lipsticks and perfumes in it. any thoughts bout that? More photos will follow when things are getting done! Still work in progress!

While I was gone I received this beautifull pictures from my shooting with Steffi and I hope you like them as much as I do.

That´s all for now!!!

The non-stripping kind....

Hello everyone,

a new addition to my future apartment.... A chippendale - it suits because just like me it´s the non-stripping kind *wordplay alert* ;-) searching ebay I found this beauty for whopping 59 €. Too great a catch to pass it up. Even shipping it is still only 70 €.... In it´s future it will hold my make up and replace the ugly plastic container that did this job before. My hair acessoires will be stored in the wooden boxes I bought yesterday and I could put my etagere with my jewelry on it, too!

can´t wait to get it!!!!
