Once I went to Lisbon

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin

When I see other people’s travel pictures, especially awesome pictures on Pinterest and Instagram, I always feel jealous. Then I remember that I have been to some pretty sweet places too.  I apologize for the smallness of the images -not sure why they are so small!

I always make sandwiches for days out – we went to Estoril – a great beach not too far out of Lisbon city center (less than 4 euro to get there)

That’s a damn good looking sandwich if I do say so myself.

I love anything camping so I obviously adore this. It would also be great for additional seating in your house (if your friends and family didn’t mind being perched on a tripod stool)

An easy update to a second hand copper vase or sculpture (wouldn’t that look cool?). Dull and shiny.

That’s right, I entered a contest. I don’t enter contests often but I thought to myself at 1 hour to go before the deadline closed “why not?”. So I did it. I whipped up a little moodboard using Olioboard – featuring my favourite big ticket item from EQ3. The Reverie sofa.
