garden moodboard - january 2014

I've been working from home today and grasped the opportunity to pop outside during my lunch break to gather flowers and foliage for this January garden moodboard. It was raining, it has been for what feels like forever here! I had my hood up and my head down, I may well have missed things along the way but I seem to have gathered more than I did this time last year. Perhaps that's because we've had a milder, wetter winter, though I'm sure it's more to do with learning where to look and being less afraid to pick and enjoy a single bloom when I find one. 

I'm joining Karin and Åsa in their series of monthly moodboards.

I'm getting sick of the darkness now, I know I shouldn't complain, we've had such a mild winter so far. I don't know why this year the darkness seems more noticeable, maybe it's all the rain too - the light has to fight through those rain clouds perhaps. Anyway it's quite nice to snuggle indoors, in the warm with the lights on and some candle light of an evening. These lights really bring a smile to my face, I just love them! We bought them in a charity shop in Sweden last summer, I think they are by the Finnish designer Nanny Still for Raak.
