I have the beginnings of an herb garden - I have an oregano plant. I'll see if I manage to keep it alive and if I'm successful, I'll buy more.

Pink Lady in Nice
My first time ever in Nice, France (in June 2009), and it was cold and rainy! Just a few weeks ago, I spoke to some business associates who live in Nice, and they said that this is actually typical spring weather there. They said it's been quite rainy in recent years.
Provence
Countryside near Arles, France. We stayed with friends there in 2009. What an amazing place! Provence is every bit as beautiful as they say it is.

Dinner
Another photo from 2007, when my husband and I had just started dating. This was a typical dinner at home in the Center of Espoo, Finland. I am wearing a T-shirt that says "Finland", bought on a trip to Lapland (I think I ran out of clean shirts).
Pink Chair
A photo from 2007, when I had just moved into a new apartment in the center of Espoo, Finland. I always love apartments when they're empty, and then they usually get too filled up with stuff.
Knitting Pretty
Another photo that I found today. They say that knitting is the new yoga - I sometimes combine the two. My clothes are from India.
Mules
I've been using Flickr for something like 7 years now, so I have like a gazillion (35,882 to be exact!) photos there (I have the "pro" subscription, so unlimited storage space). I just now found the feature "view items not in a set" for the first time and there were more than a thousand photos that were not in any set.
In practice, it means that I haven't seen many of those photos in several years and had forgotten that I even had them. I've now added them all to a new folder, which I'll slowly start sorting. It's almost like Christmas.
This photo was one of the ones I found - love the shoes and the pedicure. To be honest, I don't even know if I still have these shoes, because I live in the Czech Republic, but a lot of my stuff is in a storage space in Helsinki, Finland. These shoes may be there or I may have recycled them (e.g. if they were uncomforable). I do know that I bought these shoes at a thrift shop in Helsinki for next to nothing.

Sarongs
Sarongs hanging out to dry at the house we rented in Anjuna, Goa. The candle is not just for atmosphere - in India it's a necessity, because there are frequent power cuts.
Hoof Prints
In India, the cows enjoy the beach as much as humans do. Anjuna Beach, Goa, India, January, 2012.
Purple
I don't know what these flowers are called, but I do love the colour. Photo taken in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Poruba
Poruba is the neighbourhood of Ostrava where we live and it's full of this kind of grandiose architecture.
Sunny Day
It's been rather cold and rainy recently here in Ostrava, but we had a bit of sunshine today.
Oreo
I bought this tin of oreos from Zurich airport recently - I was more interested in the container than the contents (my husband ate the contents). I now keep bracelets and bangles in it.

Piazza San Marco
A truly amazing photo from Venice, surely one of the loveliest places on Earth.

California Dreamin'
Today I've been dreaming of the beach. I was looking at old photos from a holiday in Bulgaria and I just wish I could sit like this and look at the ocean - it's something we cannot do here in the Czech Republic.

Charles Bridge
Pink Lady at Charles Bridge in Prague, which is in fact one of my fave places on Earth. My husband and I spent the weekend in Prague in order to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary.
The bag (actually a men's bag) was a souvenir from this trip. The top is from a thrift store in Finland, the sunglasses bought years ago from Bangalore, India and the pants are a recent purchase from Helsinki, Finland. The brand is Nomad, and I absolutely adore them. They were super-expensive, eventhough I got them at half off. But they're really worth it because the quality is superb: they're 100% cotton, yet they are wind and rain proof and even offer protection against the sun and against mosquitoes.

Hustle and Bustle
I love this photo of Prague; the feeling of the city is transmitted in it - Prague is busy even on a Sunday afternoon.

Peaceful
I adore this bedroom. It's exceedingly simple and clean, but there's a nice theme on the play of light and shadow...just so serene that I want to be there.

White Rose
This rose is perfect in its simplicity, and all the more so because it's not in a vase but in a plain glass jar.

Venezia
Simply had to re-post this amazing painting of Venice by Edward William Cooke (Venezia, 1851).

Eiffel view
I simply had to re-post this amazing photo. I lived in Paris for a year as a student and this makes me really miss it. However, there are direct flights to Paris from Ostrava, Czech Republic, where I live. May need to go for a long weekend sometime this summer.

Delish

A cake in the shape of a Chanel purse in Barcelona.
Jewelry Boxes
I got these cute, hand made jewelry boxes as souvenirs from Barcelona. The guy who sold them to me said that they're from either India or Nepal.
Omelette
I'm on a diet and am therefore trying to avoid carbs. This is a typical breakfast for me these days - usually eggs in various forms. All of the dishes and cutlery and even the table are from Ikea.
