A New Home

View from my new office 

Hi my friends,

it's a long time since I was posting here something, I know.... but now I'm back again to blogging. A lot of stuff happened in the last two weeks. We moved to a new living place and now we try to get homey here. And the picture above shows you the beautiful and relaxing view I have now, while I'm sitting on the computer.

Moving was a hard work and we got very tired - feeling our old bones...oh well,... they don't move the same speed anymore as we thought they would....LOL.... but everything went well and we love our new place! These are good reasons to be happy :-))

Wishing you all a wonderful and Happy Sunday!!

Living Between Boxes...

Yep, there are still some boxes waiting to be put away in the right space

Hi my friends,

I'm back, yes....and still tired from all those "not used to" movements of a moving event...*smile*.... but we survived everything very well and are living now (still) between some boxes standing around, not knowing by now where to go with all our stuff. This apartment is way smaller than the old one was, but it is also way prettier and has a lot of charm - and

ONLY 5 walking minutes away from the beach - how great sounds that? :)

Thank you so much for all the last comments to my post, to my post before and to my blog in general. Your kind words bring always a big smile on my face, like right now :))

After 4 days, finally we got the Internet connections back. Thanks for standing with me, my friend!

Of course, I will continue with my promotion of my "Fine Art Photography Artist site" and I'm hoping that some when, someone out there will buy one of my photos. 

My slogan remains still: 

"ADD COLORS TO YOUR LIFE"!

My last post for some days

Sunglasses needed in paradise!

Hi my friends,

Stay tuned with me....don't go away - I'll be back.
Moving is a lot of work to do and I'll have no time anymore to sit in front of the computer. I know you'll understand. See you again in some days - we will have the Internet connection back again soon.

Thank you for all your kind comments and compliments from yesterday.

Yes, all of my photography is available to buy in my Online-Shop! 
Make someone happy - and me too! :))

I'll be back soon my friends!

Guess what? We have changed our moving plans!

These pictures are to show you some first impressions from my new home, my new living and working place. A picturesque and very photogenic city with a lot of history, a lot of culture and a lot of love for artists and the arts, ideal place to be in the future for my husband and me. We are very excited to move there! (They were made on one of our previous exploration trips when we were thinking of moving).

Who can recognize this beautiful town?
Write me your guesses in a comment.


I'll be back online as soon as possible, after moving up North 750 Miles and after reinstalling our internet connection...please stay with me in the mean time, don't forget me and write me some comments.
It's very appreciated and THANK you for your loyalty.

Big Decision Time

Some times you have to make decisions in life, right? They can be small decisions or bigger ones, for us just now, they were pretty BIG.

We have been living almost 7 years in Key West and had a wonderful time playing and working in paradise. We fell in love with this island from the moment we came down here from South Carolina in 2001 and decided to make it home.

Since last year the economy of this island seems to be going down hill drastically - our accounting numbers are showing that the tourists are not buying as much art as they did before and the prices of everything are going sky high - so, we had to think of alternatives of how to sell our art and make our living in a different way.

Believe me, we have been thinking long and hard and didn’t make quick decisions. Our thoughts have matured over a long period, starting months ago.

One of the main criteria for us was: We just don't want be "stuck" on this rock and not be able to get away at all - like many others we see here already in this situation because of financial reasons. We don't want to have a feeling of just living from day-to-day and be worrying all the time how to pay the horrendous prices to live in a little run-down shack or a room with no space to work.

To make a long story short: we are leaving Key West for good this month and we will be moving up to the mainland of Florida's peninsula. We found a nice little house in a very arty town on the west coast - and we are very excited about starting our life anew there!

I will be not online for some days after the 20th of January while getting ready for the big move. I hope you all will not forget me in the meantime....LOL...and I'm excitedly looking forward to being back here blogging with new inspiration and new photographs about our new living place.

I’ll be back for sure! Will you? :-)

Isn’t this a good way to start a new year?? We are very excited, both hubby and I – so stay tuned please!
