Life Is Better - When You Need A Brush



I needed a paintbrush to make up my green shelf I built back in... 1994, if I remember right.
Tedi in Burgpassage is no more (and soon Burgpassage, too, will be history).

So... I went to "Wohlwort", as one of Bro´s shop assistants calls it, she meant not Woolies but our Woolworth and, well, yes, I got my brushes for €1.

And those summer-plates and this 2CD-pack of Cuban music, it was for sale for €1 and it´s not famous, stylish bands, no, just like you´re actually back in Cuba, wonderful!

As this DVD:



Pretend to be at the beach, you can hear the fire and the ocean, too!

And at Maisons du monde I got this sign:



It did cost some €3,99, but, just coming from the new doc and due to my body being pretty fit I´m now diagnosed "depression" not "burn-out" and I think this justifies the expense, right?
I put it up right at my PC and let me tell you:
It works!
Every time I look at it I DO smile and life IS better indeed.
And, no worries.
Yes, I do have my moments and I dread the meds I´ll have to take, but, alas. It takes what it takes. All in all I´m OK.

Can´t leave you without another Henry, right?
Here goes:



Credits to the pro in also taking care of where you step (into or rather not)!



So: SMILE :-)
The bigger, the better, I´d say!

I agree a smile does wonders for yourself and for others Iris.
I like that Lion street cover and the watermelon plates are cute.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Thank you, Sami and enjoy the wee bit of Sunday you still have, alas after the 20km-walk we sure slept in!

Glad I made you smile, Grace :-)
I "survived" the walk, but, ohhh, my body hurts a bit, LOL!

Love the plate and the whole of everything here.

Glad about the diagnosis if one must have a diagnosis. And take the meds. And don't ever stop them cold turkey. Ever. No matter what. Trust me on this!

Not sure where the closes Wool Worth would be to me. But there a lot of intersting history behind them.
Coffee is on

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Jeanie, now I´m even more afraid of those meds!
My neighbour takes "something", too, and he forgets things. Not funny...

Dora, those are totally different stores, just the name is the same ;-)
