Krakow - The Apartment...

With so many photos to share with you, I didn't really know where to start with blogging about Krakow, but I decided to start where we started - the apartment!

Finding this apartment was the best thing that happened to us for this holiday - it was cheap, massive and so central to Krakow - situated bang in the middle of the Old Town and Kazimierz - the Jewish area of the city. It was the perfect mixture of old character with modern features and despite the 6 flights of stairs to get to our floor, it was the perfect base to start and return to every day.

Our street and building - the only pink building on the road.

The living room...

Kitchen...

Bathroom...

Our bedroom...

The apartment was full of lovely features like vintage suitcases and amazing chandeliers which completely enhanced our stay there!

My favouite part though was the guest book that all the previous guests had written in with suggestions for restaurants, bars, days out, which buses to catch etc... a wonderful read for when you have no idea where to start!

If anyone is interested in staying in Krakow and looking into this apartment (its not ours, we rented it, I can send you the link) then drop me an email!

Finally...

We have a gallery wall in our bedroom! I'm so excited about it...
Every time that I walk in the room it makes me smile.

Though please forgive the horrid photo - my phone likes to randomly set itself to the smaller, worse setting when taking pictures (which is so frustrating!!)

Included on the wall (so far) is:

~ Some pretty prints I won from Pop Pop Portraits ~
~ My fave print from Violet May ~
~ Some lovely camera postcards from Lola's Room ~
~ My fave macaron print from City of Blackbirds ~
~ Pugs not Drugs card from Gemma Correll ~
(I love it!)
~ One of Thomas's photoswap photos ~
~ A picture of Thomas's old cat Timmy ~
~ The Time-Travelling Tourists print from Studio MME ~
(I have been waiting forever to get that on a wall!)
~ A wonderful print of Cromer we brought in Norfolk ~

I can't wait to keep adding to it!

Celebration is everything...

I'm not really one for quotes...
but on Sunday night we saw Tony Allen doing a gig in Leeds and he said...

"Celebration is everything. Every day is a celebration."

I liked that, alot...
So today I am celebrating...

~my amazing family and friends ~
~ crying at sad movies ~
~ finally sorting out our front garden ~
(though not the persistant resulting back pain...)
~ counting down the days til Poland ~
~counting down the days until Halloween! ~
(um, yum!)
~Flapjacks ~
~ currrently winning my continuous battle with climbing weed ~
~ autocad not crashing on me (yet) today ~
~the photoswap blog slowly coming together ~
~ being brave and emailing people I would never have thought of emailing before ~
~ my hair finally being long ~
(even the white ones)
~ enjoying my blog again, hurray!~

I think celebration is my new favourite word!
(though I still love 'lovely')
