the mantel is bare. the picture hooks hold no art. the kitchen dresser shelves once sagging under the weight of crockery are temporarily relieved of their contents.
yes it's happening. we are moving. it all happened pretty quickly once we made our minds up.
the collections are wrapped in vintage sheets and tucked snugly into boxes. the other half has done all of the packing so far. while i've been working. making the most of the last of my new grad year and full-time pay.
we have a new little cottage to call home in the southern tablelands of NSW. there's a verandah out the back overlooking the apple tree laden with fruit.
a new home for a new year. i'm looking forward to the change.

ReplyDeleteOh how exciting!!! Will you still be nursing? It's such a versatile job - not to mention satisfying if you really love people :). Good luck with the move and looking forward to seeing pictures of the apple tree. Katie
ReplyDeleteYou'll be living the dream! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your things all packed and ready makes me feel nostalgic. When I first moved, I was so frantic that I thought some of my things were missing. It’s really best to keep things organized and leave the moving to the pros. Anyway, congratulations on moving to your new cottage! I hope the move wasn't stressful. =)
