Thank You Munich!
I am back from a wonderful time away in Munich where I traveled with my husband to attend the Myself magazine Liebling awards (I won! I won!) and to enjoy a small celebration held at a lovely little store for kids and parents called, Nostalgie im Kinderzimmer. I am so grateful for the internet and all of the friends that I've connected with online that I can also connect with in person - what an honor! I really loved meeting shop founder/owner Dr. Angela Schelling and her staff, along with her very sweet daughter Lea whom I found so charming! I was also so honored that I could see my publisher again, Callwey, who attended the event - it is so nice to feel their support and to see their effort in helping me to promote my first book here in Germany.
From the cupcakes made by Wir Machen Cupcakes in Munich (I wish we had a cupcake cafe in Hannover!) to the homemade pizza and drinks (also homemade in lovely bottles labeled by hand), Dr. Schelling and her team really made Thorsten and I feel very welcome there in Munich. I was able to meet so many very sweet people - around 30 people were at my little party and the intimacy was quite special because I could spend time with each guest and have meaningful conversations. The night was cold and rainy, so to be huddled indoors with tasty treats, new friends and pretty things all around me in Dr. Schelling's wonderful store, including copies of my book which just released in German under the title, "Lust auf Wohnen", I couldn't help but feel very, very lucky.
If you would like to see some photos from the event, here are a few blog posts from some of those who attended... Thank you Andreas, Christina, Igor, Ines and Maria for your reviews and photos!

I want to also thank Nicky and her husband Oliver from Delicious Days who joined Thorsten and I for lunch earlier on the same day - what a down-to-earth and friendly couple. Nicky gave us the best homemade chocolate granola ever in a charming jar with a handmade label. What a lovely touch! Oliver is equally sweet with a huge smile and a warm heart. I have been following their food blog since I started decor8 in January 2006 so to meet them in person was very nice - I felt like I already knew Nicky anyway - but to connect in "real time" made me like her so much more. Now I definitely want to buy both of her books and perhaps someday have her sign them for me. Such a lovely person!
Thank you Munich!
P.S. If you missed the event, the shop has signed copies of my book available on their website and they will gladly mail one to you! They have maybe 10 left so order one soon if you'd like a signed version. :)
