Hi!

After yesterday's pretty ugly SXM Unpolished picture, I am glad that it is time again for more beautiful stuff. I have been posting in the unpolished catagory during four weeks now and only introduced it the very first time, but yesterday I realized (afterwards..) that maybe I only chase away accidental passers-by on my blog by showing all this ugliness that's is alas all day reality for lots of people... Maybe it is better to write a little sentence that's pointing out my intention of this unpolished sxm photos.

The weekend was lovely with some goodies for me: it was Art Lovers weekend (yes we do have artists here, but mainly on the French part of the island). Once a year the artists of this organisation open their studio to the public and this Saturday I visited the lovely venue of Norma and Corinne Trimborn, two sisters that paint and who originally are from Germany. I enjoyed their art and as a bonus had the chance to refresh my German!

On Sunday the local Rotary organized a fleamarket for the very first time and as I am always the first one to tell how I miss that here, you can be sure this was my day! I 'scored' some books on Canada and Alaska, some novels and my biggest catch was an Eileen Fisher dress, brown tricot, almost new, not my size really but it has potential ;-), which means that I will remodel it and then will have a very fashionable new tunica that goes fantastic with my new pants. I love remodeling clothes, call it recycling or whatever, but for someone that can hardly find new fashionable plus quality clothes here this is like finding a treasure, you see?!
