The Woods

Sneak preview

Just a little hint at things to come

Some new posters in my shop

I have just listed 2 new posters in my shop.  they are from my Italian Collection (cards to come very soon). I also thought it was a good idea to take some photos so you can see the size of them as they really are massive!  Look - they really are!!  

These are already in my shop but here are my new product shots (I was having a bad hair day since the hiding behind!!)

Tidy Desk and Captain Scott

I thought that the state of my desk was getting a bit ridiculous so in the spirit of new years, resolutions and all that, I gave it a spring clean and it looks fab!  I mean, you can actually the the desk and the computer!  Here is a quick before and after as it amused me just how messy it was and will hopefully serve as a reminder not to let it get that way again!

So while I was taking photos of my desk I had to show you this:

It is called The Poladarium and is a calendar with a beautiful poladroid photo for each day, I really love mine, it is nice to have a different image every day.  In completly other news, I heard on the news that it is the 100th anniversary of Captain Scott's mission to the South Pole.  I had no idea that it was the anniversary but strangly enough I am halfway through reading this book about the mission! 

I also heard that the Scott Polar institute (which in another coincidence, I happen to work right next door too) has bought some new images from the mission.  I think I will pop in one lunchtime this week to have a look.  I can't quite believe that I have never been?  Bit silly of me really.

Oh and before any of you ask, No I havn't just shoved everything on my desk out of the photo!  It is really and truthfully tidied up all put away in draws and everything!

peach, yellow and aqua

My Friend Ann wrote on her blog about how this winter has been such a non-winter after the mountains of snow and ice (way more dramatic than the drizzle we're having this year) that she is filling her office for flowers and pretending that it is not dark at 5pm.  So I thought I'd help with these warming images of summers swimming in lakes and some spring blossom.  We can at least pretens eh?

Saying all that, I would love some snow so we can all wrap up warm and snuggle under blankets or go for long walks in the crisp fresh winter air.
