Happiness is... on Facebook... and Etsy!

So I have some news to share with you... But first I wanna say a massive thank you to all those who took the time to comment or mail me after the last post with kind words or advice - it was really so appreciated and helped me feel better, and made up for the other people who disappointed me in the first place. You guys are awesome! This happy little bear doodle is for you all :)

Next up, I finally succumbed and got myself a Facebook page. I'll share all the cool little stuff I find in between that's not quite post-worthy, plus share blog posts and stuff so it's more accessible and convenient for you :) You can go and like it if you like it, hehe.

And lastly, I'm also on Etsy now! Totally taking over the interwebz. Much thanks to the lovely Yusrah from Guard the Vintage for her tips and encouragement and all-round friendliness. Check out the shop here. I plan to add lots of new stuff to it soon.

Getting over the not-so-good times..

So the past week unfortunately hasn't been a very happy one, hence the lack of posts. Just having a bit of an emotional rough time and trying to deal with some facts about what people are like... Bit vague and lame-sounding, I know, but I'd rather not go into details on that and move onto improving this moody moodness! So I've dug around and found some shots I've taken the past few weeks that made me happy and grateful...

Something that always calms and relaxes me is spending some time with my cats. I love watching them sleep, too, as weird as that may sound. This guy above sprawls on my bed like this all day looking like he's having the most delicious sleep ever while I'm trying to work, so I have to exercise some massive willpower muscle to not join him!

I'm so happy and grateful that I can now work from home or cool places like the ones above - it's so nice to be able to move around and spend time in inspiring surroundings with yummy food and good coffee while being productive :)

Paid a visit to the local funfair for the first time in too many years, and had a blast! Can't last that many rides without feeling sick anymore, but it was awesome!

This was the yummiest quiche I've ever had, so far! They said it was roast veg, but all I could see in it was broccoli, which was totally fine by me, veggy lover that I am. It was suuuper yum, from the Arts Cafe. I also love their Spanish coffee, which is served in a small glass and contains cinnamon and orange rind. Didn't get a pic of that or a better pic of the quiche coz it all disappeared so fast!

These are snaps from a quick visit to the beach on a beautiful day. The waves washing over my skin is such a wonderful feeling! Was just a pity I didn't have time for a full swim that day. 

What little things have been making you happy lately?

Cats Let Nothing Darken Their Roar

First of all how awesome is that title? So awesome that I don't feel I need to say anything more in this post apart from I love these calendars and their title and their nonsensical phrases. 

"The 'Cats Let Nothing Darken Their Roar' calendar, created by Noa Bembibre, was first presented in the fall of 2005 and it introduced twelve phrases that hid the name of each month within."

The Personified and Illustrated Periodic Table of Elements

Well this woulda made science way cooler back in school! Japanese artist, Bunpei Yorifuji, personified and illustrated the entire Periodic Table of Elements transforming their properties into superpowers and character traits. How awesome.
