A Bit of Christmas Shopping




Like I have mentioned a few times I'm a Christmas person. It's my favourite time of the year, and it's something that I'm always looking forward to! This year I have been on a Christmas mood much earlier than before, well I started thinking of Christmas maybe two weeks earlier than last year. Because of being in Greece I have had much more time to think of it, so this year's Christmas Eve should be well-planned before hand. This, however, doesn't mean everything would go as planned!






This week I decided to go to IKEA, to see if Christmas had arrived there finally. When stepping out from the bus I decided to head towards a grocery store first. I went there to see if it had a different selection than other grocery stores have. It sure was different and bigger - now I know, where to go buy eatable souvenirs to bring home. haha. Next step was Jumbo, which I had visited twice before. I was sure there wouldn't be anything new, but luckily I was wrong. From there I bought Christmas stickers, three cute decorations for a Christmas tree (definitely need to go find a Xmas tree from granny's forest in December!!) and Christmas lights. I was so over-joyed when I saw such nice, simple and cheap Christmas lights. I just had to buy them and so I did!




What comes to IKEA, it was nice to walk through the store again and check out all the 'rooms'. It was nice to notice the rooms had started to look a bit Christmas-y. The actual Christmas section was a bit disappointing. It was small and there wasn't anything interesting enough to buy. Well, maybe the fact that I can go to IKEA in Finland and buy the stuff from there had something to do with me not finding anything, and also the fact that I already had Christmas lights. However, I bought this Swedish Festive Drink, just to try it out. I'm not sure if I like it or not, which is kinda disturbing!

 The countdown to Christmas shall continue with Christmas lights!

A Venetian Night


Every year, on the last Saturday in August, we celebrate 'Venetian Night' at our summer cottage. 
People around the lake put on different lights; candles, fire work etc, which all look so pretty! 
It's about celebrating the end of the summer. 









Fall is here, which is positive and negative at the same time. 
Well, gotta enjoy every season! :)
