home and dry

January: brings the glow of candlelight, fresh flowers to brighten the heart and zingy citrus fruits to stave off colds and sniffles...

....and also calendars, this year a charming (if rather small) desk one featuring exquisite engravings by Gwen Raverat bought in the Persephone shop in London. It's often the seemingly insignificant everyday things in life that bring the greatest pleasure and flicking through the pages looking at the detail of each image brings its own peace.
