Hello friends! How are you doing today? I am very well and quite happy because a giant moving truck arrived this morning and delivered everything to us which means that my three month relocation is officially over. Phew! And despite the fact that my home looks like a bomb dropped, I’m very happy to have all of my belongings in hand. I just blogged about it here and included a few photos in case you’re interested…

So! With that I am signing off until Friday. I’m not leaving you without some inspiration first, so I’ve blogged a few posts already, including Etsy Take Five Tuesday.

Also while I’m away from my desk, here are a few links to keep you busy:

DIY Pinwheels from Style Me Pretty (shown pictured above, project here).

Now I can say I’ve moved by me.

Nicola is busy setting up her new apartment in Germany, too.

Gorgeous gray room inspiration at Canadian House & Home (if you can endure all the annoying pop-up ads!).

Emma’s pretty new bedroom in Stockholm.

Tea towels from To Dry For.

Soon to visit Istanbul? Check out PukkaLiving!

A Danish clothing line I’m currently loving… Graumann.

And by the way, thank you for going on this journey with me as I’ve relocated from America to Europe. It’s so special to have those whom you’ve grown to know well enough online to view as friends to share this life change with. You’ve all been so supportive and encouraging along the way so thank you for that and well… I’m off! See you in a few days on Friday.

With love,

Holly

Best of luck! We lived out of boxes out of sheer exhaustion for so very long after we moved into this house in Oxford, but it is so satisfying, the day you finally fold the last box, give away the last bundle of wrapping paper and close the last drawer.

(Remember Freecycle, if it exists where you are, for getting rid of all your packaging)

Happy unpacking Holly. I can’t tell you how much your blog and your friendly and positive writing/sharing helps me stay in a happy and focussed mood. Thank-you. I too am in the process of moving house with my husband and young daughters and have been dreading the unpacking. After reading all these comments I will stop seeing (unpacking) it as a chore and more like little unwrapping little surprises. :)

It would be nice to find black lace printed paper for the pinwheels with maybe a spider in the center for a nice Halloween themed table!

I can’t wait to hear all your exciting stories about the unpacking, new neighbors/friends etc. I’d definitely read the links you left for us.

Your blog’s design looks so sweet and lovely. It’s an eye candy.=)

So thoughtful of you to include the warning about the pop-ups on Canadian House&Home; I actually didn’t find any (maybe firefox blocked them?) but even if I had, it’s still totally worth a visit. I love grey rooms and the sundrenched bedroom with chandelier was especially gorgeous.. will definitely need to repaint my walls, one of these days.

Trish – HI! I use Firefox 3.5.4 and I get “Home Hardware” ad pop-ups on their site…. but of course, it’s worth a visit or else I wouldn’t have suggested it, I love C H&H, I’ve been a reader for I think 8 years now? Maybe more… Those grey rooms are gorgeous, aren’t they? So warm and very earthy….

How dare you ;-)

I just came back from a ten day trip to Istanbul. What a great city, but I still came back with the feeling, that I’ve missed some important stuff. Things that give a feeling for how real life is like in the city.

And now you publish the link for pukkaliving…. *sigh*

Will have to go again soon I think :-)

Wish you look with all the organizing.
