  2. aah! How exciting! An etsy shop! I will definitely pay a visit! You make such adorable things! Sending best wishes your way.

    The movies you borrowed are an excellent choice. Miranda July is lovely in that movie, but it's an okay movie. I love sunshine cleaning and royal tenenbaums.

    Love twilight! The action scenes were amazing.

    Re: your reply, yes I'm leaving first week of August to an island north of Australia, called Vanuatu. Can't wait. I love Winter too, hot chocolate, tights, blankets, but it just gets too cold sometimes.thank you for the well wishes.

  5. 1) I love reading your updates, whether they are adventures, recipes or about food. Something I'd like to read more about by you are Movies!! Especially since it seems we have quite similar taste ;)

    2) This changes quite often, but right this minute probably "Song for a friend" by Jason Mraz, "The Hat" by Ingrid Michaelson and "Unarmed" by Maria McManus

  6. 1) I actually love pretty much everything you post but I especially love the adventures and thrifting finds!
    2) It's always so hard to just pick ONE favorite song but I've had this song on repeat for days -
    "You And I" by Washed Out. It's beautiful!

    Love the sachet, by the way!! ^_^

  7. Mmmmm lavendar. :)

    Love the thrifting finds, but of course I'd love to hear about anything. :] Ooh, and recipes too.

    Favorite song? It's just going to be what I'm listening to right now, because it's impossible for me to pick a favorite. ;) Bach Cello Suit No. 1 by Yo-Yo Ma. That man is incredible.
