PDF what???

Well, this might not come as a surprise to any of you - and you might even laugh at me - but I think that I have found a super smart way of buying written stuff, which I knew absolutly nothing about a few months ago: the PDF file!!

The other day I bought these fine little tags at Maria Lunate - and even though I usually am a very patient person by nature, I always like to get things I buy or order fast...very fast.

That's excactly what happens when you buy something as a PDF file...no posting tiny parcels from some where in the world - in this case Argentina - and receiving it 10 or 14 days later. No, I only waited a few hours for the sweet tags to arrive in my email. And I can print it out as many times as I like....isn't that just fabulous??

This lovely hat is another PDF file I bought a while ago at Mkccarroll. I can just imagine how wonderful this hat will be.....I might add a little something to it to give it a personal touch. But the pattern is so elegant that it can easily stand alone.

In the foresee-able future we are all going to replace our old 2008 calenders with new 2009 ones.....I will buy this one

that's for sure - but I think that this one

will be my next PDF purchase. The smart thing about this one from A little Hut is that you can choose your own background on the big letters....

What will be your first - or more likely - next PDF purchase??

Hyacinths

Finally it was time to bring out my glasses for Hyacinths...

Every morning I'm met by the wonderful scent which these flowers send into our livingroom....

I have 2 Hyacinths at the moment, but I know I will get many more to decorate my window-sills.

This or that?

If I could decide - and didn't have to take any notice of Christmas wish lists what so ever - then I would buy most of my presents on gorgeous etsy....

This wonderful birthday set made by Middleburg would make a mom of small children happy.

A bird mug would be a perfect gift for a grandmother, who loves coffee. This one is made by Catherine Reece.

The superhero bag from Helisengezer would be just fine for a sister's purse and other handy items.

A little cousin would enjoy pulling the flowery elephant from Matsutake up and down the living room floor.

This amazing ring would charm any girlfriend - and if you want it then go have a look at Touchthedutch's etsy shop.

A dad could very easily keep his change in a nice little tin like the one you can find at Silverymoonart. Eventhough I wouldn't advice him to carry it around - what a noise that would make!

If any of the receivers didn't like their gifts, it wouldn't be a problem at all - I would gladly take the gifts back and keep it all myself!

Luckily I am not to decide what my family write on their wish lists. How boring and impersonal it would be, if I was to choose all the presents without thinking of their wishes.....
