Magazines and chocolate. They go so well together.
The Frankfurt Book Fair was pretty good. We did some excellent business (within the trade), and I met some nice people along the way. And most importantly, I bought seven (!) magazines and found two new flavours of Kit Kat. So I think we can call it a success, through and through.
I shouldn't be so excited about magazines, especially when at a book fair, but I just can't help it. I've realized that leafing through new issues, finding my favourite photos, cutting them out and pasting them in my inspiration book is practically one of my hobbies now. I'm the first to admit that it's a bit pathetic, but what's a girl to do, eh?
Anyway, I'm going to relearn German via home magazines and a dictionary. You spend seven years learning a language and it still all slips away in the blink of an eye. Next time I'm in Frankfurt? I'll be able to give fluent home decor advice!
Welcome home, Anna! I'm glad to hear it was a successful trip. See you soon!

I do the cutting and pasting from magazines too! Flavoured Kit Kats and magazines - what more does a girls need.

Ohmigosh...a fusion of coffee and the kit kat? I've died, haven't I? Surely this must be heaven!

Hi -- I'm a new reader and I wish I could tell you how I discovered your blog but I read so many of the same blogs on your links list that I just couldn't say...
anyway, I once spoke German fluently and no longer do, but I practice vocabulary using Selingua: http://www.wartoft.nu/software/selingua-columns/ (that's the designer's personal site). It's totally addictive -- my husband has to kick me off the computer. Viel Spass!

Oops, just to clarify, it's Selingua Columns that I play -- the other Selingua game is not nearly as fun, although, I am sure, still as useful.

If you like to brush up your German, you are welcome to read my blog. It´s mostly a quilt blog, but a little bit of knitting, crafting, gardening and cat adventures too.
