6 Questions About Travel

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:20:26 +0000

They were my guests here at Lebenslustiger.com a while ago with a great post on how to spent a perfect day in Zurich and now they interviewed me:

- Luxury resort or adventure camp?

- White beaches or white mountains?

- Backpack or suitcase?

- Flip-flops, hiking boots or pumps?

- Fondest travel memory?

- These items are always in my luggage...

You can read my answers here.

Many Thanks for this fun interview, Friends!

I am adding a few more Hawaiian memories - it used to be a short plane ride for us when we lived in California...

Happy Day,

Anette

In The Last 25 Years...

...Germanys northernmost island SYLT hasn't changed too much.

And of course that is a good thing.

A few more houses and shops but basically it is still how I remember it a quarter of a century ago when we came here as a young couple to camp and play Volleyball during summer.

The beaches are absolutely beautiful and those ever rolling waves will always be there to be enjoyed. It's so nice to be at the ocean!

Happy Day,

Anette

Island Joy

Beach - Sun - Blue Sky - 30 Degree...

You just need a little bit of imagination and fade out this incidental

At least one of us likes the temperature below zero!

Happy Day,

Cozy Sunday

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:17:35 +0000

It is a foggy and grey Sunday here today - perfect for relaxing...

I found this grey washed linen bedding at Merci's (here is a post about the shop and its philosophy)- a wonderful shop we stopped by last year when we went to Maison&Object in Paris.

Yesterday I went to Ambiente in Frankfurt and discovered many fun things there as well which I will share with you in upcoming posts.

Have a wonderful sunday,

Anette

What makes You Happy?

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 05:25:00 +0000

...Steffi is asking today.

Next to my Family + Pets , Job, time for DIY's and a bit of Happiness-Theory it's mostly the beauty and aesthetic I found in flowers, trees and natural landscapes which presents true happiness for me.

And being able to capture and preserve all this Happiness with my camera makes me really really happy! :)

Happy weekend to you,

Anette

P.S. Fridays is also "Flowerday" and more Weekend Flowers are collected here and there is another one called "Blommig Fredag" - doesn't that one sounds cute?

Winter Land

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 06:51:00 +0000

I am so glad I took a couple more pictures last week when I was out shooting the first of my "12 parts of a view" photos.

Because by now all snow has melted away with a dramatic temperature change from -6 to +6 in a single day!

Now it's all grey and very muddy outside - lot's of paw prints on my floor...

But here is how our magical winter land looked a few days ago:

More winter land today @Nic's

Happy day,

Night In The Alps

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 06:36:00 +0000

What we do after a long ski day on the slopes???

NOTHING!!!

Just a delicious austrian dinner, cozy relaxing and...

... enjoying this incredible view!!!

By the way - this is one of my major goals this year: Doing NOTHING more often!

Less wanting to accomplish - more being ...

Susanne wrote a nice article about that matter.

And you?

Any goals for the next weeks and months?

Have a happy day,

Anette

Yesterday White - Today Colorful

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 06:31:00 +0000

I love to show you shops I find on trips: In Copenhagen or Santa Barbara for example or today from our recent ski trip to the alps.

Lenai&Linai - were two sisters who lived in the alps and the story about their life was so inspiring to shop owner Sonia Zimmermann, that she named her wonderful little location after them. The shop is located right next to the church of beautiful mountain village Lech/Arlberg.

Their handmade clothing line and bags are just gorgeous: very creative, individual and colorful made from fine wool and felt.

Great inspiration right at the front door...

...my favorite piece: a light wool coat with neon details!!! And look at those cool Felt-Trophys hanging from the wall...

... I loved the splendid wish-tree!

And these cute angels...

...and the best: a generous amount of humor!!!

Have a happy day,

Anette

Rose In A Bottle

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 06:17:00 +0000

We live near a nursery who cultivates their own cut roses.

This is rare because normally flower shops and nurseries just order them and they get shipped from far away places to be sold then.

Whenever I can I make a point of supporting local and sustainable operating businesses.

And their roses a really extraordinary beautiful, don't you agree?

This one is one of the last ones of this season before it gets to cold.

It has already snowed in some parts of Germany yesterday...

HAPPY COZY MONDAY,

Anette

More Autumn Love

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 09:04:05 +0000

Home

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:00:00 +0000

Right after I moved to Southern California I got this strong feeling: "This is IT - I will never ever leave this great place"

And why should I? Always sunny and relaxed easy peasy wonderful living...

What I didn't count in where my roots. Until they were starting to slowly but persistently pull me back to my home country Germany I didn't even know that I have something like roots.

After years I finally gave in and moved back to where I was born. Flat land - highly farmed because of the fertile soil - not a really pretty part of Germany - but...home.

Have a wonderful day,

Autumn Market

Cloud Appreciation

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:54:00 +0000

I just learned that there is a "Cloud Appreciation Society"!

They have a beautifully written and so true Manifesto - just perfect for getting into an autumn mood filled with gratefulness for natures wonders, abundance and...

CLOUDS

Here it goes:

"We believe that clouds are unjustly maligned and that life would be immeasurably poorer without them.

We think that they are Nature's poetry, and the most egalitarian of her displays, since everyone can have a fantastic view of them.

We pledge to fight 'blue-sky-thinking' wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day.

We seek to remind people that clouds are expressions of the atmosphere's moods, and can be read like those of a person's countenance.

Clouds are so commonplace that their beauty is often overlooked. They are for dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul. Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see in them will save on psychoanalysis bills.

And so we say to all who'll listen:

Look up, marvel at the ephemeral beauty and live life with your head in the clouds!"

So magical - clouds are always there for you - for free!

Enjoy them,

yours Anette
