Okay, instead of me always writing about me me me, I thought I'd share some nice things I've seen recently. Not really work related but I hope some of you will find these inspiring in some way as I have.
The theme for this post is boats, and I'm designing lots of nautical related things now.
here are some images I find interesting, please excuse the quality- all taken on my phone.
all aboard
no martini's allowed, my favorite drink!!

Printed on cotton in this beautiful peacock colour this cushion is a beautiful spring edition to you home. I love the papercut leaves and the folky feel of it. I would like to give one of these to one of you, all you have to do is give a couple lines about what you like about spring. ...Winner will be announced in a couple of weeks.
For me it's the lighter evenings which means you can go on bike rides, and having fresh daffodils and flowers in the house . mmmmm
thanks, and happy spring. x

and the winner of the fox scarf is.....
'Sebastien' who was suggested by Woo, Woo, please get in touch with your address, so we can send you your prize. (you can email laura@donnawilson.com)
we liked her story: woo said...
There's an urban fox that lives near my boyfriend's flat. All winter, even through the harshest snow we would see him scurrying around looking for food. My boyfriend started leaving apples outside for him but it transpires foxes don't have much of a taste for apples as they were still there when the ice thawed.
It was a particularly cold Scottish winter and I would worry about old foxy in the sub zero temperatures, and took to singing belle and sebastien's 'fox in the snow' whilst peering out the window, hoping to see him. My boyfriend still thinks I made this wee ditty up myself, so, as an apology to the band, and an homage to the Footdee Fox, I suggest 'Sebastien'!
:)
Congratulations.
Keep posted for our March giveaway in the next couple of weeks.... can't believe it's nearly March.
