Scavenger Hunt for January

Oh joy of joys, I have my laptop back!!! and to celebrate the fact I can actually post something properly here are my Scavenger hunt pics for January. Thanks to Greenthumb for hosting this wonderful hunt. :)
Big
 Some extra large planters, found at the Garden Centre.

Blue
 This bowl was on the windowsill in the school corridor. I have worked there for over 10 years and never even noticed it before! It must be a new addition! It does match our school colours though.

Bottle
 Supermarket bottles of wine, at too good a price not to indulge!

Cold
 A cold and snowy deserted playground.

Hidden
 Little bulbs hidden from view in the soil- I wonder what they will turn out to be.

In the Fridge
 Lots of different bottles in the store fridge

Landscape
 A very early morning landscape, Taken on my way to work. It was a very cold and frosty day.

New
 This is my 'new' pinafore. It's new to me, but it's a 1960s welsh wool pinafore dress that I acquired from the local retro and vintage shop.

Texture
 Textured embroidery on my new White Stuff skirt. 

Up High
 The aforementioned Vintage shop-Lots of things hanging up.

Whatever I want
 I couldn't resist taking a photo of all these lovely colourful threads.

Words
Wintery words on one of our school display boards.

So there you go, my January pics. Roll on February!

However I could nt leave without giving you a taster of something pretty, that I will blog about in a future post. It's a lovely Greeting card, by an artist called Chelsea Groves.


I love the colours- What do you think?

    Great photos, Amanda. Love those enormous teacups and a stunning landscape. At first I thought you'd bought all that wine - but it's still on the supermarket stand isn't it??? Those cards are really pretty - I think I could make an embroidery out of them. x

    I love how you fill your photos with vibrant color, Amanda! As I look at the snowy playground, I can't help wondering if you miss Kinabalu. The greeting cards are gorgeous! Have a great week!

    Crikey, it must be a while since I played as you were living in the South Seas then...not so more I see.
    Love your Welsh tapestry pinnie...... v. envious! Up high is great, I do love a vintage shop and the pic of the threads is so vibrant and cheerful.

    A cheery set of photos, mixed with a bit of chilly weather just to balance out the season. Many lovely items to look at :)
