ALL worth it.

It feels great.

No words will (ever) suffice to describe how appreciative and thankful I am of my Love, Mikey-Ike. And of course the Parentals.

always w/ Love, A

Oh and sometimes rummaging pays off.

From the local shop found with my mum.
She sure has some good eye that lady!
And I only paid 1.50 AUD (1 EURO, 1.40 USD)
True vintage too it is!

Love,

Through the bubbly haze.

Last night we went to lover's work function and oh boy
they sure wined and dined us good.
Sushi for starters, Japanese hot dishes like tofu, beef and
chicken for mains followed by ice cream.
It was such joy and I had a blast just chatting with his
workmates!
But today is another day and as the wine goggles are losing
their strength I find myself dee in the melancholy chambers
of my inner self.
So I go and sell some stuff at a garage sale with my best girls
and together we make me smile and feel light.
It all seems better and now we are making tacos with my
mano at our little house on the beach that hasn't got much
but which we have filled with love.
It is quiet and I feel a bit more at peace.

Listening to this while heating up the soul food:



Love,
E

Good Bye...

my Mighty Lap Top =///

You've served me well for good long 6 years.

Thank you.

--- yups, my laptop crashed =/.

I was hoping it'll at least last until the end of this Semester, which is next week!

But sadly, she had to go...

Devastating really.

Christmas came knocking on my door.

So I have never been all that for Christmas and everything
that goes with it. But after moving to my new habitat of
hotness in tropical Western Australia I have started craving
the kind of celebrations that are very typical to my Northern
European roots. And yesterday I did it to a T.
Porkkanalaatikko I screamed and jumped in the car to drive
all the way to IKEA and buy half of their Christmas sortiment.

And look:

GB's.

Christmas candy canes and the Christmas Star (as in Finnish).

My humble abode all pimped up.


My house is now filled with all sorts of goodies like
hot Swedish red wine called glogg, gingerbreads,
decorations and even a singing me baking bread and
listening to my Christmas playlist.

Here's a favourite:



Now how excited are you about the celebrations?
I'm thinking I am about a 100. Non?

Love,
E
P.S I am wearing my vintage apron too. Lalalalala.

My perfect Xmas tree

I found my Perfect xmas tree!
- perfect shape
- already decorated (w/ canary/golden yellow ginkgo biloba leaves)

The only problem is I can't cut it b/c it's in a public park =///

ps: pardon my attire.

What do you do when there isn't enough ice cream...

Why... you half the darn thing.
My smart Mikey-Ike literally halved this individual size strawberry Haagen Dazs.

Lesson: always purchase an ice cream - Always! Or else you'll be halving what is supposed to be yours.
