European Honeymoon Memories

This day, two years ago, hubby and I were on our way to Europe. Le Sigh.

I can’t go back anytime soon but I can share some of our favorite memories with you all.

We flew from Halifax, over the pond to Iceland (layover) onto Germany, where we landed in Frankfurt before taking the train to Munich for 6 days.

Germany is the most beautiful country in the world {and Canada is pretty freakin’ amazing}. The Neuschwanstein Castle (Cinderella Castle) was probably our favorite, it had unbelievable views…Pictures of me drinking large glasses of beer have, for some reason, become customary among my friends…We left Germany on an overnight train (worst experience of my life- 6 people in a freakin’ closet) and headed to Paris…We even found a little piece of the Maritimes in Paris…It was an amazing (tiring) honeymoon and I can’t wait to go back to Europe. There is so much to see and do, but for now, I’ll relive the memories through my photos.

$10.00 shelf update

I think I finally got my ledge shelves looking just the way I want thanks to playing around with pretty much every loose item I own. Here they are in all their $10.00 glory.

I’m a big fan of monogrammed stuff so as soon as I saw this post over at YHL a few years ago I rushed to my local copy and print centre to make one and now it finally has a home. The other things on our shelf is a giant red (fake) peony (needed some color!); two prints hubby and I bought in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris from our honeymoon (that we paid 4 euro for); a picture of hubby and I on top of Rockefeller Centre during our most recent vacation to NYC; my favorite dollar store wicker ball(s) and a clearance photo from Homesense I’ve been holding onto, never hanging, for two years.  I’m still in love with these shelves, I’m sure they’ll change  when we find/make new stuff but for now they’re done!
