Friday Five and easy summer life

Good morning,

the week has flew away and it's time to join in Willy Nilly Friday,

Five on Friday and On the Edge of the Week.

And I will link up this post with Seasons and Visible Monday

I

We celebrate wonderful late summer days. 

It's just more summer, than in all the other time of this season.

I'm happy and grateful to have these easy days after all the stress and worries of last months.

On wednesday we were at a lovely little Asian restaurant here in our town, 

where we can sit in the garden.

We can eat in a restaurant only 2 to 3 times a year, the more we enjoy it.

The maple has seeds and the first leaves are falling down.

It's less the fall, but more the big drought, we had not rain for many weeks...

III

It requires some practice to use a hammock.

My first attempt was still more clumsy, but fortunately it wasn't photographed...

IV

Outfit of the week is a summer dress by Joe Browns.

I'm so lucky, that I can wear it still in september.

V

At last some photos of our steam train.

I'm often stopped by it on my way to downtown, but I always like to see it.

It's a narrow gauge railway through the mountains,

the route length is 140 km, perfect for escapes in the nature.

Have a nice weekend.

After a long time of illness I'm back in this beginning summertime.

In matching with any colors of my surroundings...

Scarf and candles...

I just got back from the hospital.

I was released prematurely at my own request.

I wear a very simple and cozy outfit for the days at home, for the regeneration to get healthy...

But a nice scarf jazzed up each outfit and so I can go to the lovely Share-in-Style-Party.

I light candles for Mr. Victor and I wish all went well.

Much light and prayers for you both, Sacramento Amate and your husband.

Say yes

Say yes. 
Whatever it is, say yes with your whole heart & simple as it sounds,
 that’s all the excuse life needs to grab you by the hands & start to dance.

A Christmas gift for myself

Normally I wear vintage clothing that I find radomly in a Charity depot or at the flea market, if I have the rare fortune to visit one...

This is ecologically and a creative challenge for me to make an outfit with this finds.

I'm not interested in brands, I wear only, what I like and don't look at the label.

A single exception is the Swedish designer Gudrun Sjödén.

For many years, I collect all the catalogs and I look reverently again and again like wonderful books. - All this is so inspiring!

The truth is, that I can't buy these clothing, because I have only a very small budget.

But to my birthday I get every year a gift-coupon for 20 Euro from the label.

Last Monday I saw the coat that really appeals to me, is on sale and more than 60% cheaper. I could not resist and ordered it.

On Thursday the postman came with the package. I opened it and called only "Yeeahhh, thats it!"

Its really amazing and I will wear it to apple green and orange and to all the shades of red and to dark grey and black... - I have so many pieces in my closet, which fits well with it.

It is so colorful and a great pleasure for me and my Christmas present to myself.

I had not a good time the last few weeks (that's why I was not to last Share-in-Style-party) ... and I think that I have really earned this gift.

My cat is not quite in my opinion, she have to get used to it ;-)

Merry Christmas to all :-)
