A few curiosities

The day was spent organizing and clearing out lots of nick nacks from some moving boxes, from our last move in November.. My parents has kindly given me these beautiful old wooden boxes, from a local dairy. We plan to use these as book shelves, so today I washed off decades of dust and dirt.

We have yet to put pictures up on our walls, mostly because we lack frames, and therefore this has been put off for a long time. I guess I'll have to go on a raid to IKEA soon. This fantastic vintage lamp is one of the things I would like to hang on the wall in our hall, but Dylan remains to be convinced. I guess asking for someones forgiveness is a lot easier than asking for their approval.. hehe.

I also made myself this lovely necklace from a vintage rose pendant. The yellow is just perfect!

Life passing by

Today I logged into one of my old email accounts. It was the first email address that I owned, and I found that a lot of the emails I thought was lost, was there in some folder.

It was so strange to read emails from 12 years back(-Yaiks!! I just realized it's been 12 years..!!). There was emails from close friends, old colleagues and co students, and of course the inevitable fling or five....

The reason I felt like checking my old Hotmail account today, was because these last few days it's like this wave of memories from years back has just flooded my mind, and are sort of invading me. -In a nice way, though! Pictures of old friends and people that I used to know are passing before my eyes before I go to sleep. It makes me wonder where they all are, what they're doing..

-and where the heck did all that time go??!!!??
