Monday Mood Board: Winter Whites

Row 1: Sister Winter by Simon Filip, Revelry by Beesknees67

Row 3: Pt. 13 by 5letters, Winter Fairy Tale by Loretablog

Plus side: snow is pretty; snow is cold; snow feels Christmassy; snow makes people feel & look (even only briefly) like children again; snow makes everything look more beautiful; romantic interludes in films without doubt happen in the snow; snow gives us an excuse to stay inside, with a warm drink and a film, under the duvet, without guilt...

Downside: snow causes chaos; snow causes damage and snow makes the council hate cul-de-sacs even more than normal; snow may bring a little business to this Glenshee adjacent town, but it also kills small businesses until the plows have been around; snow turns into slush and slush is just horrible; slush turns to ice and ice makes you slip, hurt yourself and makes you cold...

...snow is without a doubt, much, much better when you're a kid!

Monday Mood Board: Early Autumn

Row 1: August '10 by Anthropologie, Miss August by Sebian

Row 2: October by Cedarkayak

Row 3: I Miss Winter, Flickr, If I Can [...] by Chantel Baggley

I think it's pretty much time to dig out the scarves, throw a quilt on your bed and retrieve the heater for the workshop. Autumn has arrived and there's a distinct chill in the air. Isn't it nice?

What? I like Autumn and Winter, it's pretty and I get to wear a hat!

Apologies for the lack of September posts, I blame illness and my designers block spilling over into blog block. There should have at least been a new macaroon post by now but I'm on disastrous batch number two and they may be edible, but they're not photogenic and if they think they're getting butter icing they're very much mistaken!
