Well I am neither leaving nor going to paradise..
.
But I did find a new home!!!
.
.
Oh my.. I cannot tell you how relieved I am... I have to tell you though it took all my will power not to accept an apartment I saw that had water views every window... beautiful white white space and hardwood floors.. but.. it was tiny.... so tiny I would need to store my furniture.. but also.. it was overly expensive and up four flights of stairs... willpower wasn't such a problem when visualizing a move up four flights of stairs.. huh!
.
What I did find was a small villa with a little yard... nothing flash.. but... reasonably priced.. and my own little garden!!! woo hoo!!! I feel amazingly lucky to have been the successful applicant.. It was the first place I saw and there were a dozen other applicants.. so really ... luck was on my side.. that.. and all those positives vibes you guys sent out into the universe for me!!!
.
...So soon .. I will be in my new little villa...
.
'Villa Ruby' ??
.
.
Hopefully my next move will be into my own home.. sometime in the not too distant future I hope.. So I will keep dreaming of those sea views... Meanwhile I'm putting together some more greek island photos for your viewing pleasure
.
.
Thank You once again everyone for you well wishes ...
... You are the best!!!

I am so thrilled for you; oooh, a garden, growing things, makes me happy! I hope you, too will enjoy the Secret Garden meditation! xXx
Woo Hoo!
Again....

yeah Julie!! I can't wait to see more "villa Ruby".....how very exciting for you.......and I truly (truly!) hope you are feeling better now - physically....
have a great Sunday!!
Yes I think it is a good idea not to be seduced by those water views. They charge an arm and a leg for them don't they. Exciting about the little garden - you can grow herbs, the perfect climate for it. xoxo

Hope you have an extra cot, I'm coming to visit! And I'm really good in the garden too!
Congratulations on your new 'villa'!
Bisous,
Melissa
Yahoo, Julie! You've done...I'm so relieved! I can't imagine being in a pool of 12 applicants for a home and waiting for the results. But you WON!!!! Yay!!!!
Congratulations on finding a new home. I hope it brings you much joy and contentment.
Congratulations 'Villa Ruby' on securing your Villa...great news!!! Keep Dreaming Gal of your Sea Views...they'll come I'm sure...Dzintra♥x
Oh Julie,
It sounds perfect. How wonderful for you to have a little space to sit in, outside. I think that this villa is definitely meant to be and you will have so much more space. I'm so pleased for you. I think that space is much more important than decoration, don't you ? I know that you are going to be really happy there. Try to take it slowly when you move and get as many people as you can to help you. XXXX
I am so happy for you! Yay... that was a really quick search too.. it sounds cute, and a little garden will be really nice! Hopefully you can relax, and settle in there soon..

Congratulations on your new "villa"...it sounds delightful

Soo happy for you Julie! I am looking forward pictures of your garden. Love the image you have here! Have a great day!
:)
Congratulations Julie,
Lucky you , you have your own garden and have to arrange a new house!!! ... it's always very exciting and creative. They wait for you a few weeks of activity and of illusion.
I wish the better thing to you
Hugs

I am so pleased you found somewhere - it sounds like the new place will be great. And your own garden! No matter the size, that will be your little patch of the world. And just imagine how awful it would be to carry groceries up four flights of stairs!
YIPPIE SKIPPIE and a big WOO HOO!! i am so excited for you and to have a garden! you will love having a place to dig in the earth. best wishes on the move, sweety.

love that photo so much!
I'm so glad,Julie! Of course I knew, haha!!!
I am so glad that it worked out for you and in record time too! I know you'll make your new space fabulous - you have such an artistic eye it will definitely be homey and chic!( And NOW I have talked myself into coming for a visit! lol! No worries though, you are safe - I am entirely too far away.) Good luck with the move. I love that peak of the water in the photo - a great shot!
Tanti auguri, bella Julie-Ruby!

When I left a comment w/ your last post, I thought of saying something like - you never know, the universe could be booting you out of one spot into a much nicer one.
Villa Ruby sounds pretty great! :)
Julie I am so happy to hear this news. I hope the move is an easy one for you. And a garden too...that will be wonderful! I am so glad luck was on your side in being able to secure the little villa!!!!
hugs to you from here

Julie I've been out of the blogging cosmos for about a month now & glad I popped in to hear your great news. Your "villa" sounds absolutely divine and you sound very happy. I'm sorry you've been ill and all the other technical issues, but I do think you came out on top. You got the perfect place to call home. I've missed you & I love what you've done with your blog. Looks terrific. All my best to you my dear. xx deb
Congratulations! I'm thrilled for you. Sounds great. And that picture! Terrific! Glad your back. xo :)
Hello Julie dear, what a fantastic picture! I hope you have a lovely day my dear, you realize for the next few weeks you will become obsessed with finding boxes...free, clean boxes that is to move all those things we don,t realize we have until it comes time to box them up and move them haha. Cheers katherine
you would get very tired of that apartment in a short time.
the 4 flights of stairs....?
no way.
love you xx
congratulations for villa Ruby,I'm sure you'll make beautiful things in this house and may be wonderful photos of the garden!

A little villa of one's own. How wonderful. Will you still be near the cockatoo's? I know I keep asking about them but that post was so funny about all of you screaming and I've never seen more then a 1-2 at a time.

Julie, Villa Ruby sounds adorable and I know you will make it beautiful and so lucky getting a garden space, no matter if it's small you will be able to turn it into a haven. Your own home won't be far off, just keep going with your art and your sea views will become a reality.
