Looking Forward to a Great 2015!

A new year is now upon us and I must admit I'm feeling rather positive and optimistic about it. As I exchanged my 2014 calendars in my kitchen and office for those of 2015, I  felt a breath of fresh air waft into my home. Despite the fact that the past few years have been rather challenging for me, I am happy with what I achieved last year and feel as though great things are brimming on the horizon. I'm looking forward to see how it all unfolds. Have a wonderful 2015 everyone!


I absolutely love Estonian folk art and thrilled to see some amazing designs in this calendar.
 Looks great in my kitchen!

A Perfect Start to 2015!

After looking outside the window this morning I was absolutely delighted to see perfect weather for New Year's Day. What a great way to start the year! Naturally I couldn't resist grabbing my camera and going out for a stroll in the neighbourhood to take a few snapshots. It may not be Estonia but Germany can be pretty stunning in the winter too!





Videos: NYE Fireworks in Tallinn

The sky was set ablaze in Tallinn last night with a dazzling fireworks display. Freedom Square was brimming with life as party-goers celebrated, ushering in the New Year. If you weren't able to make it and want to catch a glimpse of the action, here are a few videos for you!

Folk Hit - Curly Strings - Kauges Külas


This song proved to be quite popular in Tallinn on New Year's Eve. Apparently a bus full of people were singing it as they travelled into the city to watch the fireworks. After listening to it for the first time today I must admit the song has grown on me too - I like it!
