Missing Poland

My parents are visiting family in Poland again, (they go every few years) and it made me want to look through my old photos of when I was in Poland (and Greece) last. Which was just two years ago. Time sure does fly! I posted about my trip to Poland here, but in reality I took so many pictures that I could have easily done a part 1, 2 and 3. (I wonder why I didn't?)
Anyways here are some of my favoutite pictures from my trip to Poland that I haven't shared on the blog before. Please note this post is photo heavy!

 

I miss how close my grandparents live to each other. It made it super easy to go back and forth for lunches, dinners and teas. Inside my Dad's apartment, my Mom's apartment is under the red balcony.

I miss both my grandma's cooking. We ate so much in Poland, everyone spoiled us.

Catching my grandma doing her makeup. Hehe.

Listening to my Grandpa play his accordion. I just found the videos I took of him playing too. So nice to watch and listen. I might post a video on the blog later.

Even though I'm not a fan of going to church/religion, I loved seeing all the pretty churches we visited. And we visited a lot of them! Everyone in my family is super religious.

This one was a huge one!

The cemeteries in Poland are so pretty. Everyone's plot/stone was different and covered with flowers. You can tell they get a lot of visitors because of all the growing plants and candles.

We also visited a lot of towers and castles and got to see some awesome views.

Some of the artwork inside of a castle/church. So pretty!

I miss how everyone kept trying to get me drunk.. especially my Grandpa.

The little cars!

Holy water for sale.

Visiting an aquarium. My cousins made a big deal about it but it was actually really small.

Going to disco tech/bars with everyone.

I forgot what this was called but it was so freakin' good! We had it a lot. Like, a loooot.

I remember when we went camping for a few days and my eye was swollen for two days for some reason and it freaked me out.

Lots of food, every time we went to meet someone. Food.

Finding lots of critters.

Making my brother do these kind of silly touristy shots with everything.

And I miss the plane ride.

Boo hoo

My very old computer finally started dying, and in such a way that it became very hard to do any work on it. And this computer is so old and has been through so much, I'm surprised it lasted this long! Over the long weekend I had to switch to one of my Dads old computers... but I figured out that it's basically another old computer that won't last too long either, but It'll do for now.

I guess this means I'll have to actually upgrade my computer some time this year, so that will be fun! I did a little sketch-a-roo to make sure Photoshop was working properly. And that's about it. :]

Thrift a little

Over the weekend I visit home for Mother's day and squeezed in a little thrifting.

How cool is this? Kinda wanted it and even tried to get Tania to buy it. No luck though.

The last two photos are some of my favourite things I brought home.

How was your weekend? Any good finds lately?

Nail Art 56: Dark sparkles

I'll admit, this isn't anything special but I am in love with glitter nail polish! And this is coming from someone who used to hate glitter. Oh how things change!

WIP: Moon eyes

A little WIP going on here in-between working and painting. You know the usual.

Anyways, a couple more weeks and I'll be able to fully enjoy this super nice weather. There are so many fun things in the works, like; I have my next tattoo booked, we're planning on going to some fun events around the city this summer (as usual), weekly (and sometimes daily) trips to the beach and dog parks, new hula hoop class for me (so nervous), more hot yoga classes, and I'm planning a small road trip with a friend near my birthday. I can't wait! Now to just get through this 'crunch time' at work.
