I'm Back!!!

I'm back from Germany, and I had a great time! The weather was lovely, and I got to do a decent amount of exploring even though I was there for work. 

Most importantly I MADE IT TO ZARA HOME!!! Of course I purchased the table I wanted for so long. It was quite an adventure trying to take it home though. I thought the table would fit in my suitcase, but apparently I measured wrong. I ended up having to carry it on with me (i.e. I was fondled at security checkpoints, yelled at a few times, and looked at as if I were insane... the usual). It was worth it though, and I'm pretty sure it was entertaining for my coworkers. :) 

I'm still working on styling it and figuring out where I want it placed (honestly I'm not too concerned since we're moving in August though). 






It's worth mentioning that I attempted to take photos inside Zara Home, and I was immediately asked to stop. Normally I would have sneaked into another area to continue taking photos. The place was full of security guards though, and I didn't feel like assessing the quality of German jails... 

Other than purchasing my table from Zara Home the other highlight of my trip was having wine at the Old Opera House: 


Beautiful, isn't it? It was restored and reopened in 1981 (after being destroyed during WWII). 


It's still up in the air right now, but I may be traveling next month for a few days as well!!! I could get used to globe trotting... :)

  6. I love that table. Last year my husband and I went to Spain and Portugal and we bought a painting that I measured wrong and didn't fit in our suitcase either. It went from Spain, to Portugal, back to Spain and finally to the US all as a carry-on. Quite the adventure!
