  1. What a wonderful post! :) It's all the small things that make our lives special and wonderful, sometimes it's a good thing to pause and see them (which I forget a lot lately since there's so much going on). I love every single thing you listed. The only thing I'd add are long walks only surrounded by nature, I did that today for 2 hours and it helped me relax so much.
    I hope you had an amazing Sunday.
    Ich drücke Dich ganz, ganz, ganz feste und ich hoffe, wenn dieser Stress vorbei ist, können wir unser Treffen endlich planen :)

  8. That's such a happy post, love it!

    One of my favourite things to do in a weekend is to browse bookshops and look for some interesting books and also new eye-catching recipe books (good food photography is oh so important!) And now that days are getting shorter i love curling in the sofa with a cup of tea and sth to read or to learn! Love the accomplishment feeling of learning sth new :) and salt and vinegar crisps are alao on my fave snacks :)

    Have a lovely week, Katrin! LG

    1. I am glad you like the list, Irene. I always try to remind myself of these things when I feel down!

      Browsing bookshops is one of my favorite things to do, that is for sure. I always find some new books I want to check out. I agree, cooking books need to have good pictures! I love spending a fall day curled up on the couch with a good book, a cup of tea and the pets!

      Have a lovely week as well! <3

  10. great list. I do a lot of book browsing and then bring home books I really shouldn't have brought. I wouldn't might seeing your drawings or paintings - is that a secret thing you do?

    have a great day.

    1. Thank you, Lissa! I just cannot resist buying books. :) I will go to a book flea market soon, I am sure I won't come home empty-handed. :)

      Hmm, they are not really a secret....I just never felt like they are good enough to share. I will give it some thought....:)
