° An autumn garden °

We were into a rainy season for a few weeks, but yesterday the rain finally stopped and I had a chance to finish various jobs there. I'm going to show you what our garden looks like in the autumn. I know It doesn't look so much like autumn, because the trees are still green. Hehe!
I actually planned to plant my hyazinths in the garden, but saw that they have already sprouted!! *facepalm* So I had to take them home in the pots :) It must have been too warm for them in the basement.
The lavender plants were my longest unfinished project -____- I bought them in the end of June and one them died at once. I was so sad that I just put them aside and forgot. But yesterday I decided to plant the other five finally out. It took me not more than 5 min. OMG I'm lazy :D So now some other dwellers in my garden got new neighbours ^____^ E.g. the bambus-tree got two at once, tw more went into the neighbourhood of an old stump where I recently planted an small ivy. And the last one found his new home new other herbals: mint and melisse.
And the last thing I planned to do yesterday was to fill the flowerbed for winter plants which I bought recently. And yes, we have strawberries as well. Don't know if they like it in our garden and will bring fruits next year, we'll see.. :) I like my winter bed very much, I wish I had a larger one, 'cause there are so many plants to buy! :D
Here are some photos to support my words ^_____^

° a harvest post °

So... the summer (and even the Indian summer) is over :( Last week I was wearing balerinas, but now you can walk only in rubber boots or trekking shoes. It's raining and raining and raining. The sky is grey, I haven't seen the sun since the weekend where I was lucky (and smart) to take photos of the rest of the cards, but unfortunately not all of them. Heh! I decicded to take my time and continue working on my Swedish. Wanna seen my progress? :D

According to the title the post should be about harvesting, and it's actually what we were doing on the weekend together with my husband's friend. We found really nice mushrooms in the forest nearby. Most of them were of this kind. After I have googled it, I got confused, 'cause I was actually sure that we picked up these mushrooms! *facepalm* Anyway we got many of them :D But not only mushrooms, we picked up a few kilo apples from the trees near the field there and took some hazelnut and walnuts from the forest. Hehe! So what's our harvesting was look like! The nuts-photo was done on the weekend, so don't be surprised that the sun is shining - it'not -____-

Le jour française!

After I got today's post I decided that today is a French day, cause the two of three cards are from France. Well, France is not a rare country but let's agree, not a very frequent one. And in my mailbox a totally rare one :D More over not the quantity but the quality counts! I already got a couple cards from France in winter, but they were either in envelopes or boring (or actually both!) and the today's card are absolutely great! Both with great views and with stamps! On the mountain-card you can even see the Mont Blanc *_____* Merci beaucoup to the senders!
And the 3rd card is from Austria also up to my wish-list - with beautiful Alpine flowers! <3

And as I'm now involved in many stamps-swaps, I finally started to sort my piles of stamps which I always bring from flea-markets and get from different friends. What you can see in the photo is a really small part of it :D

Weekend Post!

The latest update for the incoming cards is here! Today I got 6 beautiful cards. 5 of them are from my group in the Offers&Requests RR and that one from Canada came in an envelope in the stamps swap on swap-bot. I don't know if the sender looked through my PC-profile where it stands in the wish-list that I collect Did-you-know? cards, but this way or another she included this very card into the swap ^_____^

Asterix & Obelix stamps

Yesterday I sent my numerous cards in my group 751 on the postcrossing forum. Here are some photos. The quality leaves much to be desired because... (see the post below) :(

Some jewellery stuff *____*

As I promised my dear penpal friend, I was to show my earrings from Nepal. But as was taking them for the photo, I thought I would make some more photos of my blings, hehe! For this purpose I took only those which have to do with ethnics. As it has been only raining this week and I haven't seen the sun since the Monday, I gave up the idea to make proper photos, sorry!

The Yggdrasil (world-tree) set. The pendant looks much finer & more beautiful than the earrings. It was a gift from my husband <3
