Fresh beginnings ~

Good morning my dears!

Here's to a happy Tuesday & some shots from the weekend as promised

{plus an extra one from the 1st of March}

Actually my 37th birthday took place this Sunday &

it was only a simple day spent mostly at home...

marked by an early wake up listening to the tweeting birds,

a walk in the woods & by the lakes nearby...

while lots of action took place in the kitchen {!}

from preparing dinner for two,

to baking cookies...

and a little more action in the dining area set up in the winter garden,

where my favorite handmade garland {once here}

finally got to see the light,

by being spread out in front of the white jalousies... {smiles :*)}

isn't it a little sort of amazing how many happy vibes

a garland can capture, project or bring to a place?

At the same time, the lilacs & muscaris 

{brought home from Ikea during the last days of February}

had bloomed just in time a few days before,

only to be in a really beautiful blooming state on that day,

also filling the place with their pretty {but admittedly too strong!}

aroma...

There were no guests, neither a specially celebratory mood,

but enjoying an afternoon coffee with family -

my partner & his father,

later a dinner for two under candle light

&

receiving throughout the day so incredibly many & mostly heartwarming

wishes through mails & messages

{I guess I should be thankful to Fb's birthday reminder ; )}

really made this day

one to remember...

Most of all,

one to remember that there is nothing like 

fresh beginnings...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

now, how about me letting you look at the pictures on your own, while wishing you one meaningfully wonderful day ahead? You are finding me in the process of re- planning & setting goals on the work level, so there is plenty to do both to bring the shop back to life, finally organize & set up a studio corner here, while also considering new projects, new possibilities... busy bee even when at the moment being  at home... off she goes... see you here quite soon!
