Recently a lovely girl named Nuria asked my permission to use one of my photos for her web site.
This, by the way gives me the greatest joy. People using my artwork or photography to inspire them.
Well, time went on, and then I received an e-mail. Nuria gave me the link to her web site with my photo on the front.
It is called Expats in Barcelona. Now this is not just any web site, but one near and dear to my heart.
You see, Nuria has a heart for the ex-pat struggling to adjust to a new country. I remember when I moved to Hong Kong, how I struggled. I only wish I had a resource like this to pave the way to an easier transition.
She lives in Barcelona, Spain, and her web site is dedicated to helping new people who are moving there. Her web site helps newcomers to Barcelona, with the many adjustments that occur when you change country.
You can only imagine my thrill. Perhaps I haven't gotten to Spain yet, but my photo of my Vintage suitcase now lives in Barcelona.
I just got a note from Nuria, and in it she said:
From September, I will be including on my blog a new section: Spanish learning tips. Basically I want to help people to make the most of their experience of learning a foreing language and living abroad.
When I started the series of photographs of my Vintage suitcase traveling to different places, I had no idea that it would travel all the way to Spain.
Please visit Nuria, you will love what she has done.
The song for this post....Well, yeah...Lady In Spain of course.

What a neat concept and using your vintage suitcase is perfect for her blog. I'm off to check it out!
Enjoy this beautiful day...
Oh Karen, what a great quote here! My art is now in Wales, the Netherlands, England (where one of my drawings was made into a stamp!) and else where in the states. What a fun world we have to make connections. Bless you...I have missed your presence; I posted photos on my home and i would love for you to come for a quick stroll...Anita
Isn't that wonderful Karen! I have never traveled beyond North America, but I do love to hear about other people's travels and experiences.
I love your vintage suitcase and the way you have it in each picture, it just seems to make the photo come alive with excitement and yearning for faraway places!
Great post!

So pretty your suitcase pictures! Will have a look at Nurias site - it sounds wonderful! Have a happy day! xx
Beautiful!!! I love Spain and Barcelona is a place I have not visited ... too in love with the South......
Oh Karen my sweet friend, thank you for coming over for a cup of tea at Rabbit Hill, my home. It is a place where I want people to always walk into and feel a sense of possibility in their imaginations....thank you for coming by...Anita
How exciting! I love her idea for a helpful blog! And I would love to actually travel there some day! You inspire us all, my friend! ♥
I'll check out her sight, but what you've created with your vintage suit case in the series of photos is extrodinarily beautiful and magical. I can see why she would want to use them. You're so talented!
