a gift perhaps
Thank you so much for all your kind words and good wishes, I am pretty much back on my feet and whilst perhaps not quite firing on all cylinders certainly firing on most of them.
Now I sincerely hope you are all well ahead with your shopping and super organised but just in case there is someone you are struggling with or perhaps you feel the need to gift yourself a little something, you know, just to help keep sane (I find this happens to me a lot...)
I thought I would share one of my very favourite things of late. I posted previously about the wonderful Postcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One Box
and once again I have the lovely Cornflower to thank for putting this offering from Puffin under my nose.
Postcards from Puffin: 100 Book Covers in One Box
are just as wonderful as the Penguin set, beautifully printed cards, charmingly presented.
Just flicking through the Puffin cards brings so many forgotten childhood stories back into memory and the children and I have spent a great deal of time pouring over them, making lists of things we would like to read and exclaiming over the titles we recognise.
The Puffin cards are proving an excellent way to encourage my children to complete thank you notes. They love searching the box for just the right subject for the intended recipient and anything that makes them eager to write thank you notes gets my vote!
The other big advantage of these beautiful cards is that now I find myself with around 200 postcards, surely enough to allay my fears of running out and allow me to finally use with abandon. Surely?

I love that box of cards - especially excited to see 'Stig of the Dump' with those wonderful Adizzone illustrations - in fact that very book is on the shelf right beside my desk where I'm sitting, it was one of my most favourite books.
