Gift of words

I don't usually do christmas gift exhange. Simply because most of the gifts worth giving, well quite honestly i cant afford *turns dusty pockets inside out*=p

But this year i received the loveliest set of stickers from Ian Zing. I know at first mention, stickers may sound juvenile or kiddish, but these are really really lovely! They take certain beautiful and simple words and print them in old Victorian like styles, and the words are spelled in cursive or bold letters then beside them, the words are described like how a dictionary would describe a word. Some of the descriptions are exactly from the dictionary and are what we would normally automatically associate with the words but the rest are special ways of looking at the words that we may have felt before but just never given enough thought, and i like those versions much much more!

They are really simple words we use everyday, but it is because they are so simple that we forget to study their meanings.

I don't have a camera with me now, but let me share some of these beauties!
