So, I'm incredibly excited!!!!!! that I'm moving to someplace probably around next spring. It's going to be a wonderful adventure for all of us, especially the kids and I can hardly wait. But, can you guess where? OK, the introducing a topic or piece of information by asking the person to guess is a weird habit of mine that I recently realized. For instance, I'll see something interesting on TV and be like, "honey, guess what I just saw on TV" ...It's very 6th grade, I realize, but I am very much like a 6th grader in many ways so, oh well. Indulge me, just guess where I'm moving...please, just guess. I'd give more hints besides the pictures but you'd guess in like a second if I gave any real hints....

Okay I'm straining really hard to recall some of that architecture from my art history days! Would it be France? And if so, I'm really, really jealous!

I'm so jealous! I won't spoil the surprise for anyone else that wants to figure it out, but that is so exciting! And how funny that my 5 year old was just trying to figure out how to pronounce that name today...

I can't decide if it's France or not. The architecture is gorgeous either way and I think you'll have an amazing adventure!

Belgium! How fabulous! And exciting!

Oh wow! It looks like Europe. But some of Canada looks like Europe. But the beer makes me think Ireland. Hmmmm.... How long will you string us along Tanya? :)
Posted by: Jona | July 24, 2008 at 08:08 PM
I was thinking Ireland as well.

OMG it's Brussels! I recognized the top picture on the right immediately! My husband and I were just there in the spring. Belgium is REALLY lovely. I'm so jealous!!! Congratulations. I hope you have a blast!

Belgium? Just a guess from doing a google search on the beer...ten duinen! All I want to know is if they can ship your stuff from over there. I can't be going with out some Ava Rose love in the sewing room!

O.k., so, I'm kinda happy for you, but....well...the very selfish side of me says....what about your gorgeous fabric?? Can we still get it? Will you still be designing new fabrics??? aggghhhh!!!!!!! PLEASE don't make us wait long, and spill the beans:)

I didn't give myself a chance to guess before reading other comments, but I just have to say that I ALWAYS make my family "guess" and it ALWAYS drives them crazy.
Always.
Congratulations on such a fabulous adventure.

France?! From the looks of it, it's another country! Seriously?! :) Ok, now I can't wait to hear where. Looks like an adventure!
Just read the other comments...Belgium! Wow! And, yes, please say we'll still be able to get your beautiful fabric. And that you'll still be designing more! I'm designing my kitchen, and planning to use some for the curtains to cover the bottom shelves (beneath the counter)! I want roses, lots of roses!

Wow - Brussels is stunning. We too are globe trotters and are Brits in The Hague, Holland. (We have lived in Singapore and Dubai before this) I love Brussels so much I have to go as often as possible. Beautiful, beautiful!!

Looks like France to me! I hope you still will be doing your wonderful fabric for the U. S.

Oooh looks like Belgium??? How utterly exciting! I adore Europe, how amazing!!!
Posted by: Natasha Burns | July 25, 2008 at 03:09 AM
Comments indicate that it's Belgium, but my first guess would have been Vienna, Austria. Either way it sounds like a fabulous adventure and I'm green with envy!

How exciting. I'll have to keep checking back to find out where you're headed too.
Congrats again on the patterns. They're all beautiful and I can't wait to try the AVA bag.
Have a great weekend.

OMG, how exciting!!!!Even the idea and possibility to have you somewhere near????Hmmm, I haven't been to Belgium before, so I don't recognize the places, but first impression was Holland, Austria and even Spain.....
Can't wait untill you reveal it!!!!!
Posted by: Katarina | July 25, 2008 at 09:09 AM
WOW! That is going to be very exciting. I do hope that you will keep blogging from there.
Posted by: Cheryl | July 25, 2008 at 10:47 AM
Is it Brussels? No wonder you are excited!
Posted by: Amy | July 25, 2008 at 02:04 PM
I have to cheat but you are going to be a fellow Belgian but I already knew. I'm so excited for you and your family!!
Posted by: Yvonne | July 25, 2008 at 02:14 PM
How exciting. Can you imagine the inspiration you'll find from all of those wonderful places?
Posted by: Betty @ She's Sew Pretty | July 25, 2008 at 03:55 PM
Looks like an incredible place. I have to tell you that I received 2 bolts of Ava Rose in the midst of a move and it brought a serious smile to my face and I about dropped all the moving boxes and searched for a sewing machine. I can't wait to start working with it and for the rest of my order to arrive. Just beautiful!
Posted by: Debbie | July 25, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Belgium! What an exciting opportunity for you and your family!
