For many of you it's been the first week back at work after the Christmas/New Year period so I sincerely hoped you coped, and if not then make the most of this weekend I say. It's nice to have you all back!

I wanted some dramatic weather to showcase this Tovah 'Allure' cape that arrived just before Christmas in my PO BOX and completely unexpectedly.

As per yesterdays post here is a little look back at some memorable posts for 2011!

As 2011 draws to a close I thought I'd step back and take a look at some of my favourite blog posts of 2011.

It's currently that glorious time of year between Christmas and New Years eve when you're on holidays and have zero to do. I dragged myself off the couch to take these photos today because even though I can tell half of you are on holidays from my traffic, half of you are still here and I promised to blog through the holidays.
