Blogger meeting and news of the week

 Greetings lovely friends from around the world! It's a beautiful day, isn't it?? Did you miss me?? Cause I certainly missed you!

  The main reason for not posting this week - other than the fact that I was really busy - is my camera incident. I told you it's broken, but actually the screen at the back side of the camera is the one that broke. Which means that the camera works and gives you a false confidence that you'll get your pictures, but trust me when you point and shoot without seeing the result you can end up with 700 new pics and only 5 of them being presentable.... Bottom line - I need a new camera soon!!! (boo-hoo).

So the exciting news you've missed is that we've spent a couple of days in Athens. We met friends, had a good time and I had my first blogger meeting!! I didn't meet all the bloggers I had in mind because our time was restricted but I did meet one of them - Irini! My greek blog friends already know who I'm talking about, right? Irini is an amazing, sweet, friendly and really talented girl! I was so pleasantly surprised! We had a coffee, she bought one of my necklaces, gave me a lovely gift and she eagerly helped me out to shop for new jewellery supplies!

Irini  and her sweet smile!!

 If I were a decent blogger, I would have those pictures... but I'm not! Click here to visit Irini's lovely blog "the little craft workshop" and show her some genuine blog-love please! I also have to tell you, that I used to live in Athens for 8 years but moved back to Nafplio in 2005. So I also met up with my 3 best friends - Elina, Nikos and Christoforos - and that was so refreshing! I miss you guys, you know that!

Oh yeah - ice coffee by the sea!

After three exhausting days we had to hit the beach to get over the heatwave! (this country can be too damn hot sometimes)! A good book, a swim and a lovely meal at a traditional greek fish-tavern! What's more to ask in life?? 

Jealous?? I know...

 And to compensate for the lack of posting, I'm showing you my otherwise private tattoo! There, you now know my little secret!

First world exclusive tattoo pic! Shhh... don't tell!

 Nice to see you again people!! Don't forget to smile and appreciate the good things in life (usually the ones that come for free)! Cheers :)

Wish you were here
