Happy Sunday

1. And it kept snowing and snowing and snowing...






Remember what our bird house looked like last week? Even more snow this week:



2. Two sweet readers of mine nominated my blog for the Liebster award. I'm a bit too busy at the moment, but thank you so much, Emily and Natalie!!!

3. The lavender sachets i bought on Etsy arrived- and they are adorable!!


You can find the listing here - I was the seller's first customer, so there was a little gift in my package:


Such a cute fabric flower! I just love all those wonderful people on Etsy!


4. When this happens to your box of "After eight"...

*sad face*

...you will recieve this as a compensation:

*happy face*
admittedly, we already ate a piece or two before i took this photo 

Nice. Thanks, Nestlé!


5. Shy screechy-bird Rambo ate cucumber out of my hand! Sadly, i couldn't take a photo, but this one (taken last month) is super cute too:



No, this bird is neither sick nor half-dead, she is just a lazy potatoe.


6. We have been saving money for months now, and this week we finally did it: we splurged on.....


... a new TV!!

As you can see, its size is phenomenal! Our old TV wasn't that small, but the new one looks gigantic in direct comparison.

And what's even better is that it was a real bargain.
Marked down to 735€ ( from 949€) at Amazon's Warehouse Deals, plus we received an additional 100€ discount when MisterT complained that the TV is in a much worse condition than described ( there were only supposed to be minor scratches at the frame, however there are two large but hardly visible scratches at the display and a bump in the metal of the backside)
Additionally, thanks to changing our electricity provider last month, we received a 150€ cash-back bonus that we used towards paying the TV- so all in all we actually paid only 485€ - AWESOME!

7. Since we saved big on our new TV, which is more MisterT's toy rather than mine, i splurged again and spent ca. 130€ in scrapbook supplies and washi tape within the last 15 hours. Am i insane, or what?!?


Happy Sunday!
