Moving Weekend!
by Amanda on August 27, 2010
This time next week I will be writing from my new desk which rests beneath a gorgeous, big window gazing out towards the local Vancouver mountains. Said desk will be sitting in new apartment that the Canadian and I are moving into this weekend. I cannot contain my excitement. I am being a total nerd about it. You’d think I’d never had my own place before the way I’m carrying on.
I plan on using our picturesque viewing area second bedroom as a study/photography studio. I’ve already scoped it out..the light in there is awesome and I’m super excited about that. The best light in our old place was in the bathroom, so it will be nice to set up my mini studio without having to rest against a toilet. Classy!
As hard as it was leaving all our old “stuff” back in Sydney, we have had some fun picking up new pieces to make our rented apartment seem more like a home. Some of it has been packed in boxes since Christmas, so I can’t wait to get into them and see what’s what. New couch and new bed, here we come.
I plan on blogging my new home and neighbourhood experience here on Mocking Bird in the coming months. Even though my first year in Vancouver is coming to a close, it’s like a whole new chapter is beginning and I cannot wait to get right in the middle of it- like jumping into the discarded wrapping paper pile on Christmas morning.
Signing off for the last time from my temporary Vancouver residence…
Wish me luck!
p.s. Thanks for all the wonderful conversations in the Inspiration Overload post. You guys are awesome!

A new place is always exciting… unless it’s moving back in with your parents! ;) I hope the move goes easy and that you get busy being creative in lightning fast time.
Once again, I’m here checking your images… I love doing this, because it’s so beautiful…it’s an art.
Congratulations, Amanda! Can’t wait to hear more about it and see some pics! Hope you’re doing well. I can’t seem to get my act together for Art Walk. lol. In time, in time…
Hope you had a successful move and you both enjoy your new space. I wish you and the Canadian the best of luck!
Looking forward to seeing how this new change of space inspires you.
