Blog tour Amsterdam - Fatboy

I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with the famous bean bag <a href="http://www.fatboy.com/" target="_blank">Fatboy</a>, a worldwide success created by Finnish designer Jukka Setälä and launched by Fatboy in 2002... But this Dutch brand also offers a range of other cool products that we had the chance to discover at <a href="http://www.bloggerstour.com/" target="_blank">our latest blog tour</a> in Amsterdam.<br /><br /><i>Je suis certaine que vous connaissez tous le fameux pouf <a href="http://www.fatboy.com/" target="_blank">Fatboy</a>, un succès mondial créé par le finlandais Jukka Setälä et lancé par Fatboy en 2002...

1st of Advent

This poor blog is suffering from too much work elsewhere at the moment (like preparing Christmas <a href="http://www.lamaisondannag.com/fr/" target="_blank">in the shop</a> for ex.), hence the bad updating... I haven't even had the time to prepare my home for the 1st of Advent which probably has never happened before! Anyway, this pretty much resumes what I'm longing for right now: simplicity and tranquility.<br />You'll find more Christmas inspiration on my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/LaMaison_dAnnaG/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, which btw now has more than 60 000 followers - thanks to all those who are following me there too!<br /><br /><i>Ce pauvre blog souffre de la surcharge de travail ailleurs en ce moment (comme préparer Noël <a href="http://www.lamaisondannag.com/fr/" target="_blank">dans le shop</a> par ex.), ce qui explique le manque d'activité ici... Je n'ai même pas eu le temps de préparer ma maison pour le 1er de l'Avent, ce qui à priori n'est jamais arrivé avant! Bref, ce collage résume assez bien ce qui me fait envie en ce moment: simplicité et calme.</i><br /><i>Vous trouverez plus d'inspiration de Noël sur mon <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/LaMaison_dAnnaG/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, qui d'ailleurs vient de dépasser les 60 000 abonnés - merci à tous ceux qui me suivent là-bas aussi!</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtkn_K5Vex1xdUS78qu2sdArRG6S6QV5gLCJRo47HtIq3Vk9Bj3aHiAGhYJMhyphenhyphenWkLSdUd1Si76H94WhdK4iNd5pjO6yGsPJ67iB2LsyKad4TkvgrQRJjWqM04r5-ZkJtMzTDssdX3kLG0/s1600/collage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtkn_K5Vex1xdUS78qu2sdArRG6S6QV5gLCJRo47HtIq3Vk9Bj3aHiAGhYJMhyphenhyphenWkLSdUd1Si76H94WhdK4iNd5pjO6yGsPJ67iB2LsyKad4TkvgrQRJjWqM04r5-ZkJtMzTDssdX3kLG0/s1600/collage2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>All sources on my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/LaMaison_dAnnaG/christmas/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></i></div>

In addition to the frustration on the name of the blog, I've struggled with the limitations on design that having a Blogger blog has. I'm finicky with the look of a blog. The difference between 1 pixel or 2 I notice. Blogger has been awesome for awhile, but I knew it was time for a change. I adore blogging because it gives me an outlet for creativity - but when your canvas is limiting, well, it's frustrating.  In the blogger world, a blog move is a little panicky. I'll loose readers! Oh no! What if people don't follow. But I've long explained that blogging is for me, a great outlet and so I can't stay here, for fear of no one coming over. Sometimes you just follow your gut. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>You can now follow me at </b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lindsaystephenson.com/">www.LindsayStephenson.com </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_Qx-Pf-pg5rJfAt4ZxMqZwD11HO5RHdA1qnCbmz0yRnvympDXFoluGiJOAZPMHGMX-W6wBn8gAWPuejSXGmZH9oYMOlQpJ65AqAYCTKQc8scrkVVFUCWTtyaPOkttTtCvt1rnPv8g0s/s1600/Untitled-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_Qx-Pf-pg5rJfAt4ZxMqZwD11HO5RHdA1qnCbmz0yRnvympDXFoluGiJOAZPMHGMX-W6wBn8gAWPuejSXGmZH9oYMOlQpJ65AqAYCTKQc8scrkVVFUCWTtyaPOkttTtCvt1rnPv8g0s/s1600/Untitled-2.png" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">The benefit to the new site is I can organize things better, give more information - helpful information to those who visit.
