January challenge


I am going to join in with this great idea from Floss .
But i will change it slightly and use my own calendar pictures.




This is the idea - every month I post a photo from my calendar (this year i have two calendars in use. a family one in the kitchen and a work one in the study, so i will choose my favourite each month ) and  use that photo - colour schemes, shapes, images, location, content - ANY aspect of it - to inspire me. We search through our drawers, boxes, attics, stables etc and make up a display of lovely or surprising things, and then share a photo on our blog. 




 This picture is wonderfully icy - perfect for today!!
It reminds me of an ice princess living in a beautiful castle (With geese running around in the farmyard below)




Items used - Glass candle sticks and crystal Magic Kingdom castle that belonged to my late nan, Pretty teacup on glitzy coaster, Maileg Fairy, Icy blue cushion from The Range and H&M lace tablecloth.
