For she.likes.cute this was a great year and I want to thank everybody who supported me and my cute products, thank you all so much!!! I will spend the Holidays with my family and looking forward to a well deserved break.

Weihnachtsmarkt

Yesterday I took the day off and went with two girlfriends to the Christmas market in Oldenburg.  Since I live close by the border it is only a 1,5 hour drive to Germany. The markets there offer traditional food and drinks and also crafts such as xmas decorations and winter clothes. The festive atmosphere in Oldenburg was just great. We ate roasted chestnuts, drank hot chocolate and bought lots of Christmas gifts. Mostly for ourselves. ;)

But I have to say that I already received the BEST xmas gift ever. Last Wednesday I signed a lease. Yes indeed, I have found my perfect new home!!! Everything went so fast. I went to see the studio on Wednesday morning and signed the contract later that day. It was love on the first sight. The studio is small but very cosy. It is situated in the town center of Deventer and has a private terrace and a bath. And the best part is that my brother lives only two streets away. I will move house in January. Oh, I am soooo exited!!

Just a little update to let you how I am doing. First of all, thank you so much for the nice comments on this blog and in my mailbox!! I really appreciate it. The last week I’ve been super busy with the shop which feels great right now. It helps me to keep my mind of things. I am also beginning to look forward to a fresh start. Tomorrow I will have an appointment with the real estate agent to view a 2-room apartment. I am so exited!! Hope it’s as great as it sounds.

Although I don’t have a new home yet I can’t withhold myself from buying cute stuff. This home will be all me… and all pink!! Hihi. Today I bought a cewl print from piratecore. Pretty rad, don’t you think?
