Dear readers! We've been away for a while to settle down, have a vacation back to Germany and to our old house, visiting Istanbul because the children wanted to see the city the were born in, meeting friends and enjoying the Turkish food.
I am happy some of you asked about us because you haven't heard from us for a while. We are still here and enjoying our new country. The heavy rainfalls did not affect us or any people connected to us so far and we are happy to have rented a very sturdy old brick house where heavy rain like the last one here seemingly can do no harm.
The rain is continuing, but on a lighter basis. So we are enjoying our time at home, crafting again, playing board games, reading, writing letters and just spending time together as long as the school holiday will be over.
Today I would like to greet you with some Yellow I just posted here.
These pictures are part of one of my boards on Pinterest: Yellow Love. Needless to say I love Pintertest. It is addictive but a perfect way to gather all these things you don't want to forget and you may need for inspiration or for a quick cheering up. And I can sort by colour there - one of my favourite pasttimes... But although I love Pinterest I won't forget my first and old love: flickr.
During our holiday my old laptop broke down and a very young guy at the Apple store told me five years is too much for a powerbook the way I am using it. So no photo posting during our vacation (except from the phone) and no hours of lingering around with flickr-friends. And there is so much to share and to tell. That will have to wait for another day. I am slowly getting back on track here with a daily routine.
I am glad I am back at the computer again to share my love for colour be it via Pinterest of flickr like this beauty:
I hope you are well and you are having a wonderful time of year ( be it winter or summer- wherever you are located) - I missed you!
Yvonne
Glad to see you back!

I discovered your blog while you were away. Glad you are back! I enjoy seeing Korea through your eyes. My family is from Korea but I have been there only once. (As it happens I know German and Germany better!)
