Chance doesn’t mean meaningless randomness, but historical contingency. This happens rather than that, and that’s the way that novelty, new things, come about. ~ John Polkinghorne

I’m having a hard time focusing at the moment? Is is the season? The ideas? The end of the year approaching?

I’m feeling in need of a change, a shake-up. So today, a little bit of housekeeping.

Personally I like timing, neat and sensible timing. Ideally I would wait until January 1 or some other auspicious date to change things, but I’m feeling impatient and can’t wait that long. So the final week in November it is.

• If you click over, I’ve made a small change to the header.
• Though usually quite beholden to my editorial calendar, I’m going to let loose for a bit and see how it goes. This is usually an annual event and after a bit I usually fall back into my regimented ways but a shake-up is good for the soul.
• You may have noticed {zesty finds} has fallen a bit by the wayside of late so I’m going give it the biggest shake-up and take them over to social media channels ~ Twitter & Facebook ~ but don’t worry if you aren’t on those sites, I’ll do a weekly round-up as part of {zesty tweets} as well.

I’m already thinking, planning and brainstorming for 2013. I feel underwhelmed by 2012 and am setting myself some goals for a bigger and better new year. Now hopefully I can find some extra hours in the day to do all the things I want too.

And some shop news:

These are some of my products on society6. The site introduced throw pillows {top} last week and I love the way they look. The second row is stationery cards and the third row totes. There are also iPhone cases, laptop skins and more. {If there is something from the archives you would like included over there, let me know and I’ll add it!}

And there’s free shipping today. Stock up now for Christmas!

Keep an eye on the Etsy shop, too, for some new prints.

Phew, I’m glad to have that off my chest. How are  you finding things as the end of year approaches?
