Now I know that all of us scrapbookers jealously hoard our stash, and often have trouble using some of the more beautiful papers in our collections (for instance I bought another set of the Basic Grey Black Tie when I heard that it was being withdrawn as I couldn't bear the idea of being without it), but today I have seen something which astonished me - a paper collection obviously designed to not even be considered for actual use. It is the Serie Limitee by Rouge de Garance and each set contains 12 individually numbered papers which are wrapped in tissue paper in a bright turquoise box. There have only been 5,000 of these sets produced and the company will not be making any more. Undoubtedly they are beautiful papers, but as someone who already has far too much stuff cluttering up my flat, the last thing I need is for MORE papers that I know I won't be able to use. Of course, this also makes them an extremely attractive must-have item (fortunately I'm broke at the moment so I WON'T be getting them). However, I'm really interested to know if the people that are buying the sets are actually going to use them - or whether they will be keeping them as they are too precious to use.
To relax during lunch I have been reading a list of '100 things we didn't know a year ago' on the BBC website. Of all the interesting things on there the one that most caught my eye was the following:
When faced with danger, the octopus can wrap six of its legs around its head to disguise itself as a fallen coconut shell and escape by walking backwards on the other two legs, scientists discovered.
The mind boggles - I'm trying to imagine how an octopus can look like a coconut shell. *LOL*
