The one with the things I liked this week (62)

Gorgeous Russian stamps.

I didn't really feel like visiting the thriftshop, but on those days I usually find the best treasures. Like yesterday.

My aunt found this box of old carbon paper. I love the design of the packaging. 

A happy looking pedestrian.

And another happy looking guy

Today is my birthday. I do like parties and get-togethers with friends. My birthday though, not so much. I guess I feel like I should have accomplished more since the last one. Am I the only one who struggles with the birthday blues? On the other hand, an important part of most birthdays is food. And I happen to like food! A lot. There's birthday cake waiting in the fridge, tonight I'll meet up with friends to have Indian food, and my aunt invited me for dinner tomorrow evening. On sunday I might need to take a very big walk....

I hope you'll have a fabulous weekend!

Some random photos of this week. I've had the idea of adding some new notebooks to my Etsy shop for a while. I thought it might look cool to make covers out of photo's I've taken and I've experimented with different kinds of paper and machine settings. One of my moms cats offered a bit of help :-)

My friend Mandy brought over a box of very delicious chocolates, thanks sweetie! Other than that, I've started Postcrossing again some time ago. This week I received four cards, from Finland, Germany and the United States. I always feel like it's my birthday when I get home after work, open my mailbox, and find something good in there! The last picture is proof that I sometimes do eat other things than cheese, chocolate and cake. You might have gotten the wrong impression from this blog....

The one with the things I liked this week

This is my seventh blog, so I have been doing this thing for a week now. I started taking my camera everywhere again, just like I did when I was a kid. It makes me look at things differently and see more of the beautiful, everyday things that surround me. Some of the things I liked this past week were spicing up a simple, sheer, black blouse with collar tips. In Amsterdam I was feeling like a kid in a candystore with lots of luxurious make up. I have a fear of lipstick (I'm afraid it will end up everywhere, except where it's supposed to be), which I wanted to overcome when I saw all the beautiful new colours for spring. I have been postcrossing for over 3 years now, and finding something good in my mailbox still makes me extremely happy. And who doesn't like flowers?
