go....x

{via saphire hearts}

a weekend of snow, the perfect excuse to curl up on the sofa & indulge in hot chocolate & good books. in one the story told of a woman who ran away from her early life, invented a new identity for herself & ran once again when that early life caught up with her. when she ran for the second time it was to venice, a city of tourists & strangers, the perfect city in which to lose yourself....do you think people actually do this, run away & start again. when things look bleak, and the weather's as cold & miserable as it is today, the idea, i admit, is slightly tempting....

....i think it's a little too slushy out there to contemplate running away today, but i will leave you with this lovely, lovely animation, shared by li edelkoort.....

let it snow x

{via ica carlsson}

this time last year we were knee deep in snow, annoying for those who still had christmas shopping to finish, but giving a wonderful christmassy feeling for those of us who had nothing more to do than sit indoors & wait for christmas to arrive. this year we have rain, lots & lots of rain....not particularly christmassy if you look out of the window, but with cinnamon rolls baking in the oven, presents wrapped & ready under the tree, tealights ready to be lit as soon as the sun goes down, christmas eve eve has arrived.....lets just not look out the window....

for now
