Little houses with tiny mushrooms and little mushroom houses have been on my mind for a while and here are the results. I loved making them and they all sold rather quickly. I took this as a sign that others love them too. I’ve already started working on new ones and they will be in the shop soon.

I finally managed to put together the photo recap of this year since now. I don’t like my blog layout anymore, so I think i will change it to make it a pleasant place for me to share things again:)

But until then, here are some pictures of things I did and liked these past months.

1. Just before New Years, we visited Les Catacombes de Paris after waiting in line in the rain for 2 hours. But it was really cool and something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time.

2. On one of the first days of January, knowing that we will be leaving the Paris region for Lyon in a few days, we went to Disneyland to take advantage for one last time of the special ticket price reserved for the people leaving in the Ile de France region. Disneyland is fun even in the rain. And Christmas decorations and lights were still up.

3. Then we quickly moved to Lyon and started exploring the new city which was kind of depressing those first few grey and cold months . But still beautiful enough. I mean… there are swans living on the Rhon river, who wouldn’t be happy about that?

4. The spring came and with it long walks in the beautiful Tête d’Or Park.

5. … and bike rides out of the city.

6. We found a “pick your own” farm not very far and took full advantage of strawberry season.

7. Went to see the Romanian female handball team trying to qualify for the Olympics. They didn’t :(

8. I saw for the very first time this type of “perpendicular” parking, or “smart” parking like a friend said (that being a Smart car…) It made me chuckle.

9. I’ve spent three weeks in July in my hometown of Timisoara, Romania enjoying the city, my family and friends, but not so much the non stop very hot weather of almost 40° C. The second photo is from one of my favorite places in Romania, Baile Herculane.

10. Back in France, we spent a couple of Saturdays in the Alps, my husband climbing mountain roads on his bike and I was taking pictures and driving on very scary roads. The photos are from Alpe d’Huez and Galibier.

Now I’m looking forward to autumn with all the goodies it brings and I’m keeping busy working on many little houses that will show up in the shop soon.

I mean…. the poppies! Except they don’t smell, but they sure are beautiful!

This is my wake up call too, I decided I’ve been quiet for too long and even though I’m sure I won’t be too talkative, at least I can share some pictures from my new town – Lyon and also bits and pieces of what I’ll be doing this summer.

See you soon with some random stuff that happened so far this year.

These photos are from 10 days ago. The forest was still mostly green. Now the lovely autumn colors are starting to show and it looks beautiful. I must capture them one of these days. How’s your autumn like?
