Owl be downloading you again this year!

Have you got your calendar for 2013 yet? If not you will have to swoop down on this one. I've downloaded these for the last two years and am very happy to be able to do it again this year.
My Owl Barn has compiled, once again, a gorgeous collection of owl illustrations for you to download as a calendar. You get to pick your favourite for each month - so hard to choose!! Here are just a few examples below.

Thank you, thank you, I will treasure it all year long... you can never have too many owls, seriously.

So either click on my link button to the side or go here to get yours!

perfect sunday

happy new year from my house to yours!

  

We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

the first hydrangea of the season peeped out at me this morning and if you're into signs, which I am, it means something good. I have hardly any flowers at all in my garden so it makes me pretty happy 

when I see one. 

How was your first day of 2012?

I have been DE-CLUTTERING! 

I have cleaned out drawers and cupboards and am painting furniture, taking down christmas decos and putting in vases of leaves from the garden, rearranging stuff, taking out bags of rubbish. 

Friends and family are on board to help! 

My sister and her family dropped round for afternoon tea on the front verandah and we sipped a rose and

turkish apple iced tea concoction from T2! chilled, another perfect sunday ♥ 

inspiration for your new year!

This post from Foxs Lane has inspired me so much I had to share it with you.
Naturally everyone at this time of year is having a rethink, re-evaluating, re-energising themselves for a new year. Perhaps you are coming back from holiday feeling revitalised or like me have just had a break from work and a change from the routine of the daily grind {kid's lunches, uniforms, homework} uggh I shouldn't mention it. I think this list is a fantastic reminder for me about simplifying stuff and sticking to what's important for me and making it a daily ritual.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Have a great night - what ever you are doing!
