Hello!
My name is Nafsika from www.nafsika.etsy.com an i live in Philothei, a
suburb of Athens, Greece :)

7:40 A typical day for me starts ... my wake up call comes in the
form of a cat. So I get out of bed,drag my feet to the
kitchen, feed the cats and then prepare breakfast...but there is no
time for breakfast today, there are items to be shipped.

8:10 I get dressed,  take the car, put my favorite radio station on
and go to the local post office.
It's a short drive but I love it...there are trees all around, no
traffic and a sense of serenity all around.


8:20 Time to head to the office. That too is (fortunately) a short
drive but with no serenity whatsoever as I head downtown.

8:50 Arrival at the office! Luckily I found a parking spot near the
building so there is enough time to have a quick breakfast consisting
of a cup of extra strong coffee and a "koulouri" which is a Greek
sort of bagel with sesame. I check my emails and my etsy while
munching my Koulouri..

13:30 Lunch break with my colleagues... the best part of the day.
Mine usually is pasta or cooked vegetables. After we finish I take a
sneak peak at my etsy shop
and maybe re-list an item or two. Back to work until 16:30 ....

17:00 Back at my house. Yesterday's laundry is waiting. Must hang the
clothes (not my favorite chore) and then since I am at the balcony
time to water my plants.

17:50 The barking reminds me that it's time to walk the dogs.

18:20 I get back, take a shower and then go to the bench to finish
some orders and play around with designs for some new stones I bought.
20:00 All dressed up and ready to leave the house. Today a very dear
friend of mine is getting married!

21:00 The ceremony is lovely, my friend Katerina looks stunning. I
love weddings!

22:30 The big wedding party is ahead of us! Lots of dancing, eating and
drinking (not necessarily at this order)!

3:00 In the morning and we are still at the wedding party.... thank
God the weekend is ahead!
