Friday offering

This week flew by with no time for flowers (or much of anything else, to be perfectly honest - I still can't believe it's Friday).

Do you ever have those weeks where you have 87 ideas for projects floating around in your head and you only actually have time for, say, 4 of them, and that's only if you knock showering and changing clothes off the list? Well, I've been like that the last two weeks (except I have made time for showering - don't worry).*

Will you accept a little something else instead of the usual flora?

licorice allsorts

I'm madly in love with licorice allsorts and they are a great comfort in trying times. I'm lucky I don't live in a country where they are readily available, or I would have a serious problem.

*To my sweet, patient, pay it forward people - I have not forgotten about you and I've been playing around with ideas for your gifts. I think the problem is too many ideas rather than too few. Rest assured that something will arrive for you shortly.

  1. Usually, I have 87 ideas for projects and time for NONE of them. Very sad state of affairs. Even so, I still manage to find time to collect books with cool new projects for me to dream about starting (much less finishing). I need to quit my job...

  4. Accepted! Licorice is delightful, if only to look at and photograph {though I'd also happily eat it}.

  5. I think over-inspiration is a very good problem to have. :) I don't like licorice, but I love the way these look, especially when photographed by your talented self.

  10. I understand having a million things going at once and just trying to finish something, anything. No pressure on the P.I.F. I'm waiting patiently (and trying to get together my giveaway part of the bargain!).

  13. Ha! I know exactly what you mean - most weeks are like that for me! Not sure about licorice - I don't mind when mixed with something like above but on its own. Probably just as well I'm not too keen especially as you can buy this easily in the UK!

  14. I quite like when this problem arises, as it seems to find me on a daily basis, too many ideas, and books and thinks to see and love.

  15. Oh! I am in exactly the same boat, overloaded with creativity and not nearly enough time to see it through. It's a good predicament, though.

  17. Ohhh... these are a real fave of mine! And they are readily available at the local grocery! Why is it, when you see an image like this, it starts a craving??? Shall I send you a few boxes? I would love to!

  20. Oh yes, I had one of those weeks here too.

  21. This is a beautiful photo. I love it when someone can take something rather ordinary and turn it into something lovely, as you have done with these candies and your photo of them.
