After finishing my studies, I thought to have lot more time to blog again! I am so sorry for all of you visiting this
little space of mine, that it became so quiet here. I'd really love to post more but it seems like there is nothing new
or interesting to tell or show. Days are pretty hectic or pretty lazy. I promise, I will work on getting to my used
blogger-habits again!

What is your magic trick to keep your blog interesting? Maybe I should focus on the little things...

Two new snailmailings in my mailbox! Thank you so much!

First one is from lovely Claudia again: we met through blogging and write each other on a regular basis now. Claudia is such a talented designer: if you don't know her yet, visit her wonderful blog and her shop, where she
sells the most lovely handmade things!

Second is from dear Vimie. She lives in the U.S.A. and her packages are always a little surprise! Full of herbal smellings, wonderful tasty things and the most beautiful jewelery! I am such a lucky girl, you always spoil me with such lovely treasures!

Sorry for being so absent these days!!! I even missed my blog anniversary.
No camera, no light, moving in a new apartment, and yet a lot to do for my exam next January!
Thanks for all your reading this out there, I am really thankful for this!

I am pretty spoiled, I have to confess. I found two snail mail packages in my mailbox at one day!

Dear Vimie sent me a wonderful turquois ring! I was looking for one some time but never found the right one!
This one seems perfect for a bohemian wild desert look! Another gift was this beautiful hairband and a huge bag
of dried hibiscus flowers! I tried them as tea yet - such a wonderful flavor! Think they will be pretty in some
sparkling wine too.

Second package came from dear Sylvie! It is full of little treasures again! Vintage cards, vintage yarns, shells and
pencil! I especially love the little doll and her letter of dried flowers from her own garden!

Thank you both so much for treating me this way ❤! It is a pretty hectic time again and these little finds really made
my day!

Stress and pressure made me become an unfair person lately, wronging people and judging them without
thinking. (I really can't stand myself sometime, need to focus and mind my thoughts)
The dog next door passed away and I didn't notice for a week.
Felt down and weak.

+
Saw friends and family. (lovely time)
Riding our bike through the loveliest nature. (nature is calming my mind, I sometimes forget about its
healing effect)
Enjoying my baby plants and how they grow for summer.

This post is related to Monica's. Feel free to join.

Wish you all a wonderful Easter holiday with lots of sun, friends and family! See you next week!

 Met a lovely lady with her dog Zac at the train. Hope they are fine.

Looking through really old vintage photos with my aunt to get back to our very roots.

Got a huge package of the most wonderful smelling teas from lovely Viktoria!

Read a really beautiful novel written by Haruki Murakami.

Last year this time was a lot of snow. It is so warm now, my Magnolia starts to sprout again.

You know Jessica's blog already? I really love to sneak through her pictures when I am stressed.

Still working on this, but there is some time left to finish, no need to hurry for me!

That's why I do it.

After asking you this question and receiving some lovely answers yet, I thought I should also participate, just to
give something back and make the (belated) first step.

Why do I blog?

My first intention to start a blog was to document my life. Not just the bad things happening, I want to keep the
focus on the positivity of life. I wanted to remember the little mundane things that make me smile. I choose a blog
instead of a booklet because it is an easy way to write short stories and visualize them by digital photography.
It is changing from the beginning to now, and this changing is still going on. That's something I long for too.

Blogging helps me to reflect and to realing. I don't mind being honest and open in the internet. I love and need the
response of others, people out of my direct environment who see things from a different level. Via this little space
here in the internet I call mine, I met a lot of lovely, interesting and wonderful inspiring people, so my blog is also
a place for me to get in touch with others who share kind of similar interests.

If you like to participate, please feel free to do so! I am looking forward to your answers!
