A weekend of disconnect for someone who wishes to reconnect

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

With no internet, no computer, no tweets, no nothing!

 

 

Waking up to Geraniums, spooky ones.

Spooky Geraniums

Having books with breakfast, not computer with breakfast.

Best breakfast ever

I stole these, from mother nature. So I thought, what a perfect weekend to plant flowers. That is very analogue of me.

Seeds

My awesome plant house. This is where baby flowers come from. (I didn’t steal this)

Planting seeds

 

Admiring simple things, such as my butterfly wall. I’m a quite mean vegan. But I love them though. Rather on my wall then someone else’s. Most of them are from Greece but my blue pride to the right I bought in San Fransisco.

Butterfly wall

Healthy food for a healthy mind. Pure vegan yummyness.

I made this up myself. It’s a sprout tabbouleh. It makes your hair grow an inch overnight. It’s true.

I sent analogue messages out to the world, that had to be shared, on homemade stationary cards.

Messages to the world

 

I spent my first afternoon on the new balcony, drinking tea, writing down thoughts and planning the rest of my life. On paper, with a pen.

I’m probably the last person in the world to blog about WebCoast, but nevertheless I am finally writing this down.

Last weekend I attended a “unconference” – a visitor generated conference here in Gothenburg  Sweden with the focus being on web.

I didn’t really know what to expect and went there with an open mind and loads of curiosity. And I’m so happy and grateful that I attended the event:

Inspiring sessions:
I had the most magnificent weekend, meeting new people, and attending interesting sessions on everything from writing an publishing your own book, to creating successful marketing through  combining offline with online media, listening to a Google+ walk through and so much more! Spot on for me.

 

Inspiring people:
One of the most fun things of the weekend was getting to meet all the people, listen to them and get to know other souls which shares my passion for all things web. I love meeting people in general – so I had a blast.

Nourishing a vegan brain:
I also appreciated that they made an effort with the food – being a vegan and all, sometimes you don’t always end up with the most creative food efforts. At WebCoast they made an effort which fueled me through the long days (and nights!)

 

I had an awesome time, really, and I’m happy that I made this investment in myself. I have so many ideas in general and WebCoast have helped me connect with other people on the same wavelength and inspired/urged me to see these ideas of mine through to completion. Just do it!

 

 

 

Vintage finds

Vintage spoonsI lived without teaspoons for years. I don’t buy things just because I may need them. If I buy something, I have to really, really need it AND I have to love whatever I am buying. I’m happy that I waited. I got 12 vintage teaspoons for £2 at a secondhand shop. Love them. To pieces.

What a week!

Love my sofa. Found it at a secondhand store for next to nothing. Green velvet and fringes, to cool.
