Monday's Motivation Post

{By Gemma Correll}

I don't mind Monday,
but what really bothers me today
are those couple of sentimeters
of fresh new snow we got
during the night.
I was beyond bummed when
looking out the window this morning.
Oh spring, don't you ever come here?

{by Steph Says Hello}

This awesome print makes me feel better though.
Hope it helps you too
in case Monday feels like an old friend
you wouldn't care to meet on the street.

No-one Can Be Unhappy When Having Balloons

{via Unstitched}

If somebody wanted to give me 25 balloons with birthday wishes for my next birthday, I wouldn't mind. Awesome idea and pretty pretty pictures spotted at the Unstitched-blog.

An Afternoon in a Café

On a Tea Break, Again

{All pics by Karin Vivar}

You might (or might not) know that I love tea- and coffee cups. I even collect them. And photograph them. Photographs featuring pretty teacups always make me happy, and this time was no different. When I stumpled upon these lovely cup photos by Swedish Karin Vivar, I had to smile. Especially love the one with the apple splash!

Spring in my Kitchen

Today it was grey and miserable outside, and cause I miss spring so much it almost hurts, I decided to cheer myself up with some flowers. What would be a better way to celebrate spring inside when it's still winter outside?

When I arrived home with my tulips I realized the one and only ugly vase I own is still in a box, and I have no idea which box is the right one. Solved the problem with a teapot my mom gave us recently. And I have to say I love how it looks. And yes, I feel more cheery now.

Today was a free day

Today we decided to take a day off from the crazy moving process and just rest. This was my first free day in a month (have been working all the weekdays and moving all the weekends) and I was so exhausted, felt like I couldn't take it anymore. So today we ate a good breakfast, had tea from our new owl teapot, took a nap, walked around and stopped to read magazines and newspapers in a cafe. And oh, how much better I feel already. Next weekend we'll do one more moving trip and finish the cleaning, and then it's finally over. Yay! Except the unpacking, it will probably take several weeks, but who cares. I'm getting used to living in a garage already.

Now a bubble bath and then to bead. Today's a whole new Monday, again. Good night!

Cute and lovely and pink

Lately I've enjoyed searching party inspiration online. Not that I were planning any special events, or even a little get-togethers. I just enjoy watching colorful photos of balloons and cakes. I also enjoy of this handmade party book by Luci Everett. So cute and lovely and pink.
