Anything inspired by botanical illustration gets a huge thumbs up from me.
Patterns, paneling and prints in a rather alliterative trio from Preen.
I'm marveling at the amount of junk I actually carry around with me every day. This is most of it...
The contents include a lone sock, various lipsticks, loose change, a coffee loyalty card, chewing gum, random beads and crystals, an ink cartridge, the metal cover for the rubber of a mechanical pencil, the earbud from some broken headphones, a multi vitamin, tic tacs, a necklace, a broken brooch (the pin has disappeared but will no doubt injure me when I come across it in the near future), a plastic spoon, lots of receipts, a label from a jumper, trusty notepad and favourite pen, a stripey pencil from New York, a head band, loose thread and button and my purse (which contains more loose change and even more receipts)

I've always been intrigued by those "what's in my handbag" blog posts. It's probably the voyeur in me that enjoys seeing what everyone carries around but I always feel like the photos are too curated and most likely edited to make it look like a pretty picture.
I know my bag looks nothing like these...
I'm going to follow this up with a "what's really in my handbag" post.
Hello there, Little Doodles has embraced modern technology, find me on Facebook here...
I'm sure this post will confirm my "crazy cat lady" status. I'm doing this with pride!
I'm a big fan of plaid, most likely attributed to growing up watching tv shows like My So Called Life.
I wasn't aware the larger form is known as Buffalo Plaid but hey, you learn something new every day!
New years resolutions? Nah, I'm firmly in the non resolution camp.
I much prefer the idea of new year, new outlook. Definitely no guilt inducing tasks allowed.
