I'm so grateful for days like this when I don't go to school but my little treasure does and my fabulous husband goes to work. Then I have the morning all to myself.I started the day with coffee and cake and my little to-do-list. There were errands to be done so I got down and made a plan.
First and most important and fun thing on the list: I prepared a parcel for my pen-friend's birthday- which, by the way, is on the same day as mine; how strange is that! Good thing I didn't seal the envelope as I added a couple more things from the shops before posting it.
Now, if you want me to spend a fortune, take me to a stationary/book shop. 40 euros on the treats you see in no time! But boy it felt so good! I'm into drawing lately; we'll see where that takes me.
On the way home I thought of spoiling myself some more. My purse would've screamed if it could but luckily for it the cut flowers were not that fresh so I got this little pot - much cheaper than a bouquet. Now I have two little plants, yay! (remember my 'patience'?)
From my corner of the world to yoursHave a lovely week!

Hi Yiota,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello. Your Monday looks just perfect and starting the day with coffee and cake seems like a sensible way to ease into the week! Clever you for gettting a bargain with the pot plant also!
Oh, this is a very lovely way to start a week! And I too especially enjoy a day that starts with cake and includes a trip to a stationery shop :) I hope the rest of your week is as good as this day...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to begin your week ~ a day off, coffee and cake. How nice. Your mosaics are all so pretty. Your pen friend is going to be very happy to receive your package.
ReplyDeleteI share your love for stationery! It goes back to being a child for me, and those beautiful new books and pencils etc at the start of the year!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY! I appreciate the delicate, positive way your worded the opening sentence. One of the many reasons I enjoy your blog!
