In the Holiday spirit ... while looking back at this past half year

How quickly time has gone by. Seems like only last week when my daughter and I were still enjoying our summer vacation in Finland, out at the summer cottage with family and friends. Oh boy, so much has happened since then. Big things. Major things. Life altering changes. Wonderful changes. Freedom.

I've embarked upon a life of single motherhood. Moved from a 5 bedroom rowhouse appartment with a front and back garden to a 2 bedroom flat with a teeny tiny balcony (mind you - with the knowledge that one day, I will be living in my dreamhouse by the water). This new home of ours meets our current needs perfectly. Gone from being unhappily married to happily divorced. Changed jobs to something which resonates with me more than my previous job did. Gone wild with interior inspiration and decorating, admittedly so with a limited budget, but then again, requiring me to be even more resourceful and imaginative. All fun stuff.

Now I'm so looking forward to spending my first Christmas together with my daughter in our new home, bringing true meaning to peace, love and joy. I love the Holiday season. I do. Love it.

Here are some images that totally bring me in the X-mas spirit:

Maileg cuties

Don't you find these little Maileg creatures just adorable!?1 ... Found them in the Armstrong Ward Lifestore, a lovely webshop I recently came across when looking for inspiration.

Even though some of these are related to the Holiday Season, I just had to share them with you. I was already familiar with the Maileg bunnies and pixies, but the mice and the geese were new to me. The little mice in the matchboxes with the vintage look are just the cutest!!

’’Your life is right now! It's not later! It's not in that time of retirement. It's not when the lover gets here. It's not when you've moved into the new house. It's not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it’s not ever going to get better than right now – until it gets better right now!’’   Ester Hicks

Have a joyful day!

Love,

Wishing Each and Everyone ...
