Beautiful gifts...

First of all Happy New Year folks! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I had an excellent one that included 3 Christmas dinners, fun times with friends and family, my 26th birthday (eek!) and all these smashing gifts!



Beautifully illustrated books by Janice Nadeau (Harvey), Carson Ellis (Dillweed's Revenge), Laura Carlin (The Iron Man), Merel Eyckerman (Back to School Tortoise), Rebecca Dautremer (Une lettre pour Lily...la licorne!), Oliver Jeffers (Up and Down) and Tove Jansson (Who will comfort Toffle and The Dangerous Journey).



A colourful perpetual Calendar by Sukie.



Drum Major by swell illustrator Ben Javens.



...and the very adorable 'Woody Bear' by fab illustrator Mique Moriuchi. Ste bought me this little fellow for my Birthday and I just LOVE him. He is SO adorable that he even stole the limelight from the iPod Nano that accompanied him!

Very smashing gifts indeed!
