Moving apartments...

All packed up and ready for a new apartment. Here we go!

A vision

Something like this is what I want my balcony to look like [smiling sheepishly]. Well, probably not the size or the bench seat or... it's just more like... the feeling that I want to capture. And the materials and the style of the plants. Colours. Aw, you get it! Just add heaps n heaps of candles and fairy lights and stuff. And a couple of arm chairs and a table. There you have it, a vision.

Built-in bench seat

I really want one of these in my new large kitchen... with heaps of nice cushions... yup.

The day my mom turned 61

Such a nice day! Sunshine, raspberry&chocolate cake, friends, a long walk in beautiful surroundings, flower picking... It had all the ingredients!

Wish-list #1 - An apartment of our own. Check!

YAY! This is our very own apartment. It feels amazing! It does need some fixing and refurbishing but it has got potential! You will be hearing a lot more about this in the future. Guaranteed.

Today is my mum's birthday!

Whatta lotta watta

Wow.

Lillies-of-the-valley & my engagement+wedding rings

I recently visited my parents and got a chance to pick the year's first lillies of the valley. Another favourite of mine! Both the flower and picking the very first ones. Here they are, including my rings - newly polished and as beautiful as I intended them to be (when I designed them :P haha).

DIY jar lights

Genie in a bottle... Lamp in a jar... same same different. This is, however, the masterstroke of a genius. Really nice! It is a lamp made out of old jars. Here, specific "mason jars" but I should think the kind of jars matters less. Presumably. Except for the aesthetical point of view, of course. Another DIY project.
