It's been a little quiet on my blog, as you might have noticed. That is because I took a much needed break from the virtual world and was on vacation in beautiful Sweden to visit my in-laws. I could have left some scheduled posts, but decided not to because I didn't want to worry about it... and it felt sooooo good not to worry about it :) I would highly recommend that to everyone, just to take a (little) online break. So I am getting back into the groove of things, taking it slow and steady with stuff to share on the blog. And I'm starting off by telling you a little about my time away.
This was my view and we walked in the forest almost daily... and I didn't want to leave it! See
HERE for more pictures. Leaving was hard but it was good to come home to my Meesha cat, as she really missed us (and we her!)
While I was away, I did make some things with a huge stash of postage stamps found in a thrift store.
Made this journal for my MIL with French postage stamps.
The back has different portraits on it.
My in laws have the most loveliest wooden desk, but I forgot to photograph it in its entirety. It was great to have a desk to work at while away.
This is a small Muji notebook and made for the neighbor there. It's the size of a traveler's notebook.
The postage stamp art is inspired by my good friend Sue of
TangleCrafts. She sells her gorgeous collage works
HERE. BONUS her books are also fountain pen ink friendly :)
Fall came to greet us while we are there and in two more days, fall will arrive here too... according to the calendar. Cozy jumpers, scarves and beautiful autumn colored (falling) leaves... I feel like I am ready for it!
Sharing this over at
Julia, for
WOYWW this week - hope you all are doing well and are looking forward to embrace fall as well :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
