  1. Ooh, another cookbook! The mail you got certainly looks happy :)
    Too bad they painted over the smurf...maybe they will appear at another place!

    1. I am hoping to see some new goodies on that wall, I think that white wall must look pretty inviting!

  2. I so love the first photo! Is that a house or a business establishment? Either way, it's beautiful! I wanted to watch the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics to at least catch a glimpse of the Ph delegation. Unfortunately, the time difference made me slept haha It was 1 am here when it was shown on TV.

    Thanks for visiting my blog Marieken! I really appreciate it. Have a great Sunday!

    1. I hate bills! Maybe they might be less unpleasant when they come in pretty envelopes!

    1. I use those paper bag-thingies to wrap up the postcards we sell in our shop. I used one card to see how big the bags needed to be. I wrapped it up in a page, just like a present and used bright coloured washitape to secure it. I left one side open.
      And I love doors and windows too! I almost got chased a couple of weeks ago by a woman. I was making photo's of her front door and suddenly a very angry woman appeared...

  10. I love all these things! I missed the opening ceremonies but really wanted to see the ballet, hoping I can find it online somewhere. And I just read the previous comment and can't believe you almost got chased! I take pictures of people's doors and windows all the time, lol. I have had people come talk to me or just stare at me and watch me, probably wondering what I'm doing, but I haven't been chased yet. o_O

    1. I do get a lot of stares, people probably wonder why I take pictures of doors, or windows, or bikes... Maybe the lady thought I was a burglar, doing research? Or maybe, she was someone famous!
