New series of posts.
One more reason to keep me bicycling everyday…
I found Elvis. Alive and rock’n'rolling in a garden in Marathon, Greece.
Not MY garden, if you were worrying, although it’d be kind of cool to hang out in the sun with the king…

This is my first front page at Etsy and I thought I’d share with you. It all happened while I was celebrating Easter and I didn’t realize it on time. And since it’s a beautiful list created by Eve there’s a double reason to share.

My friend Miwa from Japan sent me a surprise gift package. Full of items to Hello-Kitty-fy my kitchen (and my stomach).
Among other things there were Hello Kitty chocolates,
hello kitty cookies (a cream filled crunchy pastry from Shikoku island),
and my favorite: a Hello Kitty pot! How can that not make you smile? I can only think of cooking creme anglaise in there, or custard, or heating the cream for the ganache….
This package made my day, or better, my week. A great Easter present from the always thoughtful Miwa. Cause we greeks are having Easter a week later than most of you guys out there. And it’s tomorrow. We’re gonna visit friends and barbeque and eat, drink and have fun all day long. It’s a tradition in this part of the world. And the only reason I like Easter.

When I left you at the last post the spring was coming. Now the spring has arrived and it has stolen away my time. But it’s worth it. Here is a list of my time stealing activities:
#1 I commited myself to exercise at least 30 minutes each day. The only exercise that not bores me to death is bicycling. I love my bicycle and my afternoon rides. Full of spring images and smells. I live in a rural area near the sea and I get to enjoy what city people can’t:
afternoon seascape at Marathon Bay
#2 Spring cleaning! I’m the first to admit I suck at housekeeping, but some amount of spring cleaning is necessary. And satisfactory.
#3 I was busy setting up my Etsy shop! Yes, it’s finally a reality after months of drawbacks. It still features only a fraction of the items that I want there, but it’s a start. I also thought I should try out the European Dawanda shop and I’ve set up a store there too. Drop by and say hi if you’re already there.
