Thank You Notes for the Envelopes

As so many little children's parents these days, I also buy and sell a lot on the net. Luckily, nowadays I buy a lot less than what I sell, and, luckily, all things I buy online are from internet auctions or Facebook flea markets. 

Every time I send a piece of clothing, for example, for a little girl I attach an appropriate paper sheet in the envelope with my name and a thank you note - and, of course (!), my blog address :) 

Those sheets usually are from children's books bought from the library.

If someone buys a CD from me, I attach a thank you note written on a page of an old book related to music, maybe with some old rock n' roll picture or so.

I'm a fan of old envelopes too, and I reuse almost all the envelopes we get in the mail, or make envelopes out of books' pages, magazines, wrapping paper or whatever that comes in handy. I'll show you some of my envelopes soon..

Do you sell or buy online? What kinds of products?

It's Midsummer!

It's  light day and night here in Finland these days. The sun never actually sets - these two photos were taken after 4 am!

We celebrated Midsummer over the weekend. That means big parties, bbq, rock festivals and friends to most Finns, but we just had barbeque with the family. It was nice, too, but a bit different to what it was as a teenager ;)

Midsummer, or juhannus as we call it, is the most profitable weekend in my hometown for the shopkeepers! And, of course, the Finnish flags are seen everywhere.

Blue and white :)

Sunny Thoughts on a Rainy Day

I'm confused. I'm really confused. I thought I'd share some of my photos on the web, possibly on WordPress - but then I had a second thought.. and a third thought.. and so on. I'm not sure if I should share them on Picasa, after all, but if so, this Blogger would be a better choice for writing a blog than WordPress, don't you think? 

What about Flickr? I really don't know o.O

Anyhow, maybe I'll start here on Blogger and see how it starts going, then I can always move to WordPress :) 

I'm happy if you made it this far ;) I'll tell about myself a bit more later, for now: my nickname used to be Millie when I lived overseas, and you probably guessed it - I'm from Finland. I'm a mother of three, and currently I'm staying at home. 

On my blog I'll share things about the area we live in, Finnish culture, parenting, living in an ecological way, and a lot more. I love DIY stuff and recycling, so maybe I'll shoot some stuff related to these topics as well!

Finally, the rain made it to this part of the country, so we're staying in today! Still, I'm so excited about my new blog :) I'm having sunny thoughts..

I'll be right back!
