I'm signing off for a few days and wishing you a very happy weekend. We will be at a fun party on Saturday (time to play dress up, oh boy!) and Sunday I will learn how to use my new sewing machine and of course go for another very long walk in the forest near our apartment where I will collect pine cone branches to arrange in a glass vase for the living room. I also plan to listen to a lot of music... it never fails to keep me focused on projects especially when I'm sewing. I plan to hit Virgin to see if I can locate the new Keane CD. By the way... any Depeche Mode fans out there? They held a press conference in Berlin last week (catch it here on You Tube) and confirmed a new album set to roll out in the beginning of '09 along with tour dates in Europe, North America and South America. They even have a new band logo here. So exciting!

Before I go, I simply must point you to some visual candy -- some of my current Flickr favorites, you can click here to view them. Once there you may click on the actual photo icon to view the full size version along with the photographer's name and account. I hope that you enjoy them. My theme was "Inner Peace" as I pulled this particular collection together. All of these things gave me a good restful feeling, I hope that they also have this effect on you. :)

Have a lovely weekend!
