I can't believe we're already a week through January.. kinda feels like New Year's day was just yesterday! It's a bit scary that it's mid-Jan next week and before you know it we'll be into February. I hate it how the beginning of the year just seems to disappear before your eyes!! Slow down time! I have this crazy list of things I want to have done, or in place by the end of this month... really hoping I can get about 80% of them achieved. We've been working on a fairly big project in our garden which we finished today so that was very satisfying... although no sooner were we done I was suggesting the next one! Yep you can be sure my husband more than rolled his eyes at that!

I'm generally not a black and white girl, but I'm rather partial to it used with a warmer ivory and even more so when there's a hint of kraft or taupe thrown in! It's so elegant yet modern.

Well I think this might just be my favourite board ever!! Can you guess why? I never thought I'd have a reason to put Mr George Clooney in a board but well... don't you just think he fits perfectly? Gold and black is a bit of a classic combination that never goes out of style... and of course who doesn't love some shimmer on their wedding day? Be it on your dress, on the tables, or even in your stationery or cake. I love how the gold warms it up so much from simply black and white.
