good things with coming back from holidays..

One nice thing with coming back from holidays is the feeling of starting something new, being full of energy and inspiration. It is also so nice to meet everyone again in a happy mood, full of positive energy and to share some stories from the summer.

Another reason to like this period, it because it is perfect to try new things, to get started with new projects and take on some new habits. I do that every year; last year I decided to learn Italian, I love that language and yes I did get some inspiration from the book Eat, pray, love..:) . I really liked it even if it unfortunately didn't last for the whole year.. For this year, I'm still thinking of what to do, I mean in addition to this idea to start blogging..

Coming back from holidays, and the feeling of autumn, even if it is still summer here, arriving also reminds me of how nice it was to start school again after the summer breaks when I was a kid; excitement, starting something new, and getting a matching pencil, ruler, new cover paper for the school desk and the books as well as many other small "useful" items in the same design. I remember choosing the paper and the pen as a big happening every year, mine were always connected somehow to ponies.

Ok, this year I didn't get the cover paper with ponies, but a new little pink bag with matching decoration will serve the same purpose :)

  1. Hello Bobo! Very nice blog! let's see if I can post a comment;) I thought of two things when I read your post, our grandfather and yoga! We planned the whole summer which cover paper and pencils we would buy and then he went with us and stayed for ours in the stationary shop....

    yes, me too - he was so patient every year to come with us to choose the perfect design

    and yoga, oh you are right! - the first session is tomorrow! Yoga will of course be the new project for this year - thanks for inspiration

  3. It is a very nice blog and it will be interesting to follow your life and thoughts! I also thought of L-E when I read about the ´book covers, he really loved you and liked to be with you all three, or all five grandchildren!
    And about Ponies, and you forgot to mention your rabbits and the dog, you were really an animal lover special ponies and Junior. love Kersti

  6. I had serious discussion with myself before buying this bag. I know that I can have any kind of bag handmade for me at any time. But the following reasons convinced me to buy it:

    1. my current hand made one is dark - very nice but not good for the purpose mentioned in the blog post
    2. this pink one was nice, having all kind of small pockets needed plus a beautiful flower
    3. it was not expensive
    4. you can always have an extra bag (at least to a limit)
    5. the shop was so nice, small and full of nice innovation design stuff so I felt like buying something
    6. I also bought it to show the bag makers in the family the flower decoration to give some inspiration

    But, yes, the answer is no :) The pink bag made by Karin serves as very nice wall decoration in my living room.
