- A cozy sweater. I found this oversized, grandpa-like sweater on sale a few days ago and broke my, "Don't buy knits in the summertime, Meredith!" rule for the sake of a chilly airplane and the cooler, European temperatures. I can't wait to wear sweaters again!
- A journal for travel memories and doodles
- A book, Paris My Sweet
- My passport & wallet
- My sunglasses & new knit case! I made this knit heart sunglasses case last weekend and I am so happy with how it turned out! I will definitely list some in my Etsy shop when I come home. :)
- My Fisheye, Diana, and Instax cameras, to keep them safe for lots of picture taking!
- My iPhone
- Last but not least, gum, lip balm and other essentials
Of course, I'm also going to pack something to knit. I might work on some more glasses cases since it is easily transportable.
I am so ready for this vacation. I have several amazing guest posts lined up for you this week along with a few of my own. Get ready for some fun recipes and projects to try! I will do my best to tweet and Instagram travel photos when I can.
Eek! Ok then...London here I come!
That is so AWESOME! You have to enjoy London 10X more then you were going to, so I can live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteOhh, London and Paris are both amazing cities, I am sure you will love it there - and never want to leave. It is so weird that it takes you a 9 hour flight to get there, while it takes me an hour and a half on a train... I sometimes forget that some blogs I read are written on the other side of the globe. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to visit La Droguerie in Paris, I am sure it is on your list, because it is the most amazing yarn and craft supplies shop. :)
Your knit sunglasses case is soooo pretty!! Really loving it. Your grandpa sweater as well..
I wish you a safe flight and a lot of fun and new experiences. :)
What a perfect time to visit, we're having gorgeous weather this week! Although it's probably nowhere near the heat you're used to - i'm sweltering! Have a safe trip :)
ReplyDeleteI am wishing you safe travels and hope you have a fantastic trip!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sunglasses case!
ReplyDeleteWish you sa safe flight and an amazing trip!
Too bad you don't visit Germany... ;) But London and Paris are wonderful! Wish you so much fun! :) :)
You iphone case: what is it?
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fantastic time on your travels. The sun is shining in London right now, so hopefully you'll get to see the city in the best way possible - with sunshine! Have a great flight!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time on your trip! But are you sure, you're allowed to take your knitting needles on the plane? My guess would be, that you could only take them in your suitcase, but I'm not sure about that.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! I'm so unbelievably jealous! Also, is an Instax worth purchasing? I have been on the fence for so long and would love the opinion of someone who owns one!
ReplyDeleteI really hope if you go to Paris you bike through Versailles or through the streets of Paris! You will feel like you are in a movie:) Oh and hot chocolate at Angelina's!
ReplyDeleteLondon is one of my favorite cities (I studied there my junior year)! You will have a wonderful time :) Love the glasses case, super cute!
ReplyDeletewill they let you take your knitting needles inside the plane?? you might want to check that ;) also, this is a really long plane ride, how about some magazines?
ReplyDeleteoh, while i'm thinking about it, you probably don't want your camera film going through the scanners at the security checkpoint either :)
ReplyDeletei love that glasses case too, it's so cute!!
Seconding and thirding the advice to check out whether knitting needles are allowed on the plane. I didn't think twice on a trip to Ireland last year because they're generally OK on domestic U.S. flights. I ended up losing a set of Addi Turbo circulars and a Kollage square circular set as an Irish security woman and I picked (literally) hundreds of stitches off of a Plain and Simple Pullover and a Citron shawl. I was kicking myself for not putting one or the other in my checked bag, or using lifelines.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!! Wishing you safe and fun travels!! Look forward to hearing and seeing all about it!! Love you cute sweater and eyeglass case!! so sweet!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteHow great Meredith! I will be going to London myself next month! Its a lovely place, enjoy it =) xx
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, a camera, a great bag, cute sweater, and the trusty iphone and journal are definitely must haves! so very excited for you / jealous! have so much fun!!!!
ReplyDeletexo TJ
I hope you have a great time Meredith! We are having lovely weather in the UK after lots of rain, so you've picked a good week. I love love LOVE your knitted glasses case :)
ReplyDeleteThat sunglass case is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the best time :)
ReplyDeleteOhh I love that glasses case! And you will not be cold here. This week it will be 25 degrees C!!! Which means everyone will be in shorts, so you probably won't need that cardigan.....
ReplyDeleteHave a great time :) We have great weather at the moment (for once) so enjoy it. Pretty exciting time to be here at the moment too with the jubilee and everything :) xx
ReplyDeleteadorable bag and sunglasses case. bon voyage!=)
ReplyDeletelove the sunglasses case! do make more. have a safe trip and you'll love London, couldn't imagine living anywhere else
ReplyDeleteLoving everything in your travel bag, especially ALL of those cameras that are on my wishlist like for forever. Also your sunglasses are super cute. I think that if I go on I would say the same thing to pretty much everything that you put in your bag!!
ReplyDeletechamomiledealer.blogspot.com come visit!

ReplyDeleteI would like to be in your suit case too, what a style! I just love the Sunglasses case, that's a must try. Very beautiful blog you have! Have a Nice journey to London!
ReplyDeletedefinitely don't let your instax film go through the x-ray machine! And I personally always take along wooden or plastic knitting needles, just so that no one makes a fuss :)
ReplyDeleteWe have the same purse! I hope you have so much fun. London is such a lovely city and I bet Paris is just as beautiful as they say.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in love with that knit sweater! It's really sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the camera selection you are taking with you! Hope you have a wonderful trip :) I'm looking forward to seeing the photos and reading about it!

ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you have a wonderful time, Meredith! You've certainly earned it, and I can't wait to read all about it when you get back :D xo
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Have fun in London because it's an awsome place to visit!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy enjoy enjoy and bon vacance!!!
ReplyDelete(Ok, I won't repeat the warning about the knitting needles..had to put it in my suitcase in Nairobi as well - crochet should be ok.)
So exciting!! Have a great time - I can't wait to see your photos!
ReplyDeleteSO FUN!!! Enjoy London, lovely lady! You deserve some fun in the UK. :D

ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance, get out of Paris and spend some time in the countryside. The French countryside is way better than the big cities! Villiers-sur-Loire is probably my favorite little town.
ReplyDeleteBonvoyage! Hope you have the time of your life. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Misty and Pets.
I love London! Paris doesn't score as high, but maybe I've never spent enough time there to really fall in love with the city. Also, it's freaking hot in Belgium, so I'm guessing you won't need your sweater outside the plane. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog <3 I'll also visit Paris this summer, it's so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteYou're sunglass case is adorable! And I'm LOVING all of your cameras!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Would I fit in your carry-on?
ReplyDeleteAlso, why do you have three cameras? Wouldn't it be easier to buy the three lenses you need for just one camera?
Eeek! This post just makes me want to hop on a plane and go somewhere. I haven't been overseas yet, but I can't wait to visit Europe one day! Also, I have to laugh at the cameras. I'm the same! I bring my D40, my shironeko camera (film), my iphone, and my small Nikon digi cam. Gotta have all the options!
ReplyDeleteI <3 Sunglasses case!
ReplyDeleteJust did a really similar post to this but with my cosmetics!

It is said that the Roman emperor Nero liked to watch gladiator fights with emeralds. These, however, appear to have worked rather like mirrors.
