I have jewellery I wear every day, actually I don't even take them off at night. It's my engagement ring, my doctor's ring, three stacking rings that were given to me by T. when we first met. Besides that I wear earrings (which I change fairly often) and a simple necklace with a ring engraved with the names of my "boys" and a small silver key. Sometimes I enjoy adding bracelets or additional rings such as the ones above to spice up the ensemble.

All the rings are made of silver and the one to the left has a smoke quartz stone. Above it to the right is a pretty cool, three-dimensional filigree ring in 830 silver. Below it you'll find an onyx stone, in which it is possible to "look inside," and the one above it to the right has a labradorite stone in brown and turquoise. Last, but not least, is a turritella agate ring with fossile parts.

A beautiful sunset as we're pondering the next step vis-à-vis living quarters. We've been on the lookout for a house for months now and there is one specific house that I have kept my eyes on for quite some time.

Yesterday I noticed that the price had dropped and T. phoned his parents asking whether they, who live closer, could find out more. They were happy to do so and after a while they phoned and said that they in fact were on their way to look at it.

When they phoned the next time they told us all about it and, although there are a few things that need to be done to it, they considered it to be a solid house. Good news so far.

T. hesitates. I'm positive. T. wonders if it's the right location. I can't say much about that. T. is slightly apprehensive about the possible renovation costs. I really like the way the house looks in the photos and the fact that it was built in the late 18th century. The debate probably sounds more polarised that it actually is. I do want the numbers to add upp and T. does want to find a house that would work for us. Well, well... time will tell.

More pink. I've been slightly apprehensive about tinted gold in general and I not fond of purple-tinted gold in particular. To my surprise, however, I did quite like the colour of rose gold, especially when I envision what I will be wearing this upcoming summer and, checking what was available at the moment, I found all of the items above at very affordable prices on Ebay.

I'm into dusty pink at the moment, which I think is a lovely colour in spring. The sofa cushions have received new covers and a pink cotton plaid has found a new spot on the sofa. The images above are simply Internet finds exemplifying the muted dusty, pink I was aiming for.

The cushion covers can be found at H&M, the ring at Etsy, and the knitted blanket at Anno 1909. The nail polish is one of my favourites and also one I actually own, the "Rose Dust" from Mavala.

Sometimes life is too busy and there isn't enough time to do all the things I'd like to do. In other cases the tempo has been too high for a long time and there is a need for rest and recuperation, and this is what has been the case for me.

I worked 368 hours of overtime last autumn and this made me cut down on most things just to get back to normality. Now I'm slowly getting back to blogging and all the "extras."

Candy is always nice and this was in fact one of the Christmas presents given to us by the management at work. I can assure you that Thorntons taste very well. We also received cinema tickets, which we haven't had time to make use of yet. Soon!
