Desperately trying to romanticize being relentlessly pummeled by snow this winter

Been playing Elden Ring again: it’s winter and I’m longing for gothic castles and a rotting civilization that isn’t my own. I named my character Mary Shelley because that freak would have loved this game.

Two journal charms hang on a traveler’s notebook: a ghost and a mushroom

journal charms!

An open Traveler’s notebook on a wooden desk. There’s also a Christmas mug, a closed field notes notebook, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and various desk accessories surrounding it. There’s a stack of books piled on the floor to the side and warm light coming from the corner.

A pancake on a ceramic plate topped with stewed apples and toasted walnuts.

I miss spending my mornings outside but this isn’t so bad

You can play the demo for my next game now! Come meet your charming neighbours! 🌱💀🐝

Wow it’s beautiful!! 🤩

You know that feeling when everything’s changed & things are snowballing out of control?

This is how Moomintroll feels when he wakes early from hibernation to find his world frozen & unfamiliar!

But perhaps there is more warmth in the winter than he first realizes?❄️

Wow thank you!

REAL

NUMBER ONE LEO FAN RIGHT HERE

I think that is one of the names for it yep! I've also heard it referred to as a writing desk. I call it "Pop pop's desk" because that is what it is to me haha

Me too! This one was my great grandfather's so it is extra special 💛

Thank you for noticing those! They were my grandmother's & I love them 💛

An old (very old!) wooden writing desk surrounded by stacks of books. There’s a journal, a book, and a kindle resting on it and various journaling supplies stored within.

I decided to start using this little desk for my offscreen time & hobbies instead of constantly fighting the distraction of my PC at my work desk, and wow it’s already made such a difference in my focus & screen time!
