Somewhere Remote

I had the pleasure of spending one weekend at a friend's home town and we had so much fun! It was certainly a much needed break from city life - things were cheap, the food was good, the air was clean and the people were kind. It was great waking up and not having to rush around for appointments or thinking out my to do list in my head.

What was most fascinating was the house we stayed in. It was like the home of an inventor and DIY guy. Almost everything was homemade and handmade whilst the rest of the stuff look like a hundred years old but still in working condition.

Pictures!!












This is a jukebox! Found near some mamak and it still plays for 50 cents a song.


At the house...













Legs of a sewing machine are given a new lease of life as legs for a table.














The light reminds me of Gaudi's street lights in Barcelona.
















Why would someone make such a big vase with such a tiny opening?















Old school grinder.... for coffee beans and peppercorns too!
















So, this is where it was all made...


And what trip would be complete without some shopping (well, it's not THAT remote)?













The best thing about shopping - not having to pay to own my first pair of Crocs slippers... hehe.... (Thanks Sweetie!)


Thank God for remote places!
