Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

As I write this post this morning, I've spent a little time looking back on the past year, and what a year it was. After years of lurking in blogland, religiously devouring all of my favourites each day, I finally took the plunge and started my own little blog. I thought I'd find decorating inspiration and some great ideas, which of course I have, but I've found so much more than that. I've found a wonderful, supportive community of like-minded people, who are so generous with their time, energy and friendship, and it's been an absolute pleasure to meet each and every one of you. Thank you for being so wonderful, for your sweet comments, funny quips, great advice, fabulously inspiring projects......but most of all, thanks for making the last ten months so fantastic.You really are the best.<br /><br />To end the year, I thought I'd revisit a few of my favourite pics - after all, what better way to wrap up things up than with some serious eye candy?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Last chance!

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day of the 20% off sale in my <a href="http://driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>. Last orders will be posted tomorrow, and then I'll be taking a break until the 18th January. Thanks so much everyone for your overwhelming support, and I can't wait to share all my plans for the new year. I finished my very last original painting yesterday - a new addition to my blue and white Chinoiserie series:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZo3JnzCRU7P6ffWvGISwOIKR9KHDZo_ISqrKPvybrpJ-8sjTJDwqJZ-Uu62MDZd8jijyyqvsH-lJsxo9Y3Wf5K6BCV-WOpvdSpONMEpIoMotyk0ql4m0MuvS4g-hHSpbYTzLXKCejPo/s1600/fuze+ginger+jar+in+cobalt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZo3JnzCRU7P6ffWvGISwOIKR9KHDZo_ISqrKPvybrpJ-8sjTJDwqJZ-Uu62MDZd8jijyyqvsH-lJsxo9Y3Wf5K6BCV-WOpvdSpONMEpIoMotyk0ql4m0MuvS4g-hHSpbYTzLXKCejPo/s400/fuze+ginger+jar+in+cobalt.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_497307804">'Ginger Jar in Cobalt'</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/driftwoodinteriors">original watercolour on paper</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Right, I'm off to finish decorating the house, ready for Christmas day.

So I'm going to make the most of it and get the place looking all pretty and festive,  and play with a few ideas I have for zhushing up the table. In general, I plan to enjoy one of the only summery days we've had in ages! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hope you all have a great day, and I'll catch you all soon.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div>

For Jane

One of the most wonderful things about blogging is the sense of community it engenders. I received an email from the lovely Martha over at <a href="http://jellyshane.blogspot.com/2010/12/urgently-needed-girl-power.html">Just Martha</a> this morning, asking me to join with her in sending some love and support to Jane over at <a href="http://mypeartreehouse.blogspot.com/">My Pear Tree House</a>. Of course, I'm only too happy to help in any way I can, and I know there will be many others who feel the same. So if you'd like to send some positive thoughts to the gorgeous Jane, I'm sure she'd appreciate it, and you can also pop on over to Martha's blog for more on how we can do our little bit.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPiJrik38Ql9ImCPryoBjh8r6Qyt4YegWgXotDA6cn-h-MsoksW0dEWnUblSa1W_EKcm247RRqrJ81PSVWqQ9IDt1zF87hfmOYkYyKM_AeXS-Nwb_Vsd68CVwSI7KsD_jt9aSaduw1hi0/s1600/chis+chun.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPiJrik38Ql9ImCPryoBjh8r6Qyt4YegWgXotDA6cn-h-MsoksW0dEWnUblSa1W_EKcm247RRqrJ81PSVWqQ9IDt1zF87hfmOYkYyKM_AeXS-Nwb_Vsd68CVwSI7KsD_jt9aSaduw1hi0/s640/chis+chun.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">a little bit of lovely for the lovely <a href="http://mypeartreehouse.blogspot.com/">Jane</a> - courtesy Chris Chun</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
