You can just see evidence of Union flags in the tin; they're for cakes and sandwiches, but I'm planning to use them in a scrapbook...I should have closed the tin to show you the patriotic lid too, ah well, not much forethought here! The flags-in-the-tin is a bit of bad tidying really, because since Laura gave me the tin, it's really the home for my collection of tapes. Not Washi tapes per se, but some nice ones anyway..maybe I'll show them off some time.
Show us what you're up to then, we need a photo of your working area, kitchen, sewing room - wherever and whatever...post it to your blog, include WOYWW in the title and link the post here. Easy. It will be good etiquette to return visit....and that way, you're hooked!
Danielle, who usually links around the 110-ish mark asked me to tell you that she's using WOYWW to maximise her Ranger give-away...she was a little worried that it's against the rules. It's not particularly, because it's a give away. The self publicity and linking to every product the blog owner sells is less in the spirit of WOYWW.....and if this seems a contradiction, well....I could bore you to death with my logic, but actually...why bother. Your visitor numbers will tell you if you're taking part in WOYWW or promoting to no avail.
Lecture over, here comes the linkmeister:

No way, I'm first! 'xcuse me whilst I pick myself up from the floor!
Happy Wednesday, Julia!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday Julia. What yukky weather you've come back to. I've been watching the Jubilee on TV and typical British weather. Those ATC's look fab from what I can see of them and love those little flags. Your garden looks so green, my chickens have destroyed our lawn and garden beds, so yours if fabulous compared to mine.
Have a great week.
Von #1 (I think)
Welcome home Julia - you were missed last week (and so was your pic!)
Smiling at Charlene - there seems to be no other blog where holding the #1 spot is held in such great esteem!
#3 this week - enjoy your day!
So glad you are home. I hope you had a good time on holiday.
Of course, I call those wildflowers WEEDS in my world (grin).
Happy WOYWW from #4 (as if you can't count).
this is the earliest I've been but I have a busy day in the operating room tomorrow and may not get to post until really late. I hope to get to more desks this week. have a great day!
Glad to have you home Julia, but sorry to hear about you're weather. It could be worse you could be in Melbourne and we have been hit with winter this week.
My 'chesticles' have been playing up so I didn't manage to visit many desks last week but I hope to make up for it this week.
I held my breath reading you're leacture because I'm having a giveaway (which has taken so much work with my limited techy savvy) but I did wonder if it would be okay to post today along with WOYWW...I chose this route because it's actually down to you and the gang that have inspired and kept me motivated to produce these designs.
They are a tribute to you're WOYWWer's! ;D Neesie #7
ah Julia so good to have you back and commiserating on the weather think the queen felt it on the Thames river on Sunday!
I did chuckle at your sugar melts in the rain logic for not attending to the sunflowers - here everyone is going crazy this morning over the transit of Venus - will wait for the next 112 years visit I think! :D although did watch it on live stream.
Happy WOYWW! thanks for hosting each week such a great time as WOYWW Shaz in oz.x #8
PS like the way we never know when you are linking over these days not sure if on purpose but is fun!
Enjoy being back home and getting back to all this fun artsy stuff! I'm thrilled to be #12!! Have a great time at your desk!
Lisa
#12 (Oh, I said that already, lol!)
I see green and pleasant lawn! Welcome home, hope that both your tan and post-holiday energy remain unfaded... We had an asterisk of a time last week indeed but celebrated in true woyww style. Glad to have you back on board.
Welcome back home, hope you enjoyed your trip. It's been quite wet and chilly here today too, very un-seasonal! I screwed up my link last week and forgot to add the asterix to exchange ATCs so this week I'm giving an ATC away as a prize to one of my commenters. Happy WOYWW! Thanks for all you do.
neat workspace. Like the tin and the ipad! I have a notepad that sits on mine sometimes. I think I see a stamp in the background and maybe a card in the making (or already made) This WOYWW is addicting!
Hi Julia, welcome home, lovely to have you back. Pity about the weather, but that is good old Blighty for you! I had an amazing time last week so thank you for all your efforts, it was great fun. Anne x
Back to reality! Hoping you had a great holiday and your Dad is on the mend... you missed great celebrations here... but I am sure the sun was much more warming than torrential rain! Desk looks too tidy to be yours! Lol
Happy woywwing
Jennie x
Welcome back, hoping you are all rested and refreshed. Been seeing bits and pieces of the Jubilee on CNN and what a great celebration.I love your container of Union Jack Flags. The fun of receiving the ATC's has been exciting, hoping to see pics on blogs as time goes by. Happy Celebrating and getting Crafty once again.
Hi Julie welcome home....love the little flags...buntings must be so in ....after all of the decorated sailing vessels on the Thames the other day!!My desk was so boring,no nothing on the go today..just a craft mat all lonelt so i showed you guys a finished project instead...ps your addie please your ATC is waiting!
...poor Mr Dunnit he's gonna be so sad he's gotta 'pick' those wild flowers from the patio that are engulfing the watering can! it's like a scene from 'day of the trifids'...all neat & calm on the desk front & honeycomb inkings at the ready...have a fabby day...Mel :) #27
Welcome home! Looked like you had fun! Love the patriotic flags... We didn't do as much for the Jubilee as we assumed we would... Mmm... May have to quickly put that right during half term! Happy Wednesday x
Morning Julia, How was the holiday? Last week was such a blast and I was wondering if you could send me your address so I could thank you appropriately. I didn't go to bed 'till after midnight last night wondering what time you'd do the post this week but as I tend to wake very early and it is/was the Transit Of Venus at dawn and DH was set to set up the telescope to watch it I somehow managed to sleep!!! Woke just before 6am and flew out of bed to enquire as to the state of Venus and DH just grunted it was cloudy and went back to sleep! But then I remembered WOYWW and that is far more important and a weekly occurance so you don't need to hang around the cosmos for a century for the honour. (Saw the transit in 2004 though but it won't be back 'till 2127 now!!) Love ans HUGS BJ #32
It is always good to get home even if it is cold and wet. The patriotic flags will be put to great use and you know if you don't keep them then you definitely need them. Have a lovely woyww.
Sandra @ 36
Welcome home Julia.. sounds as though you had fun! I hope Dad is doing ok.. pretty little flags on your desk.. we missed you!! Hugs May x x x #34
Welcome back! Bet you are glad to be in your own bed! Off to go watch Paul Mc sing to the Queen!
Welcome back Julia. I'd like to say Thank-You for organising the ATC swap, a lovely way to make new friends too. I'm whacked with watching all the celebrations and need a day to recover. Hugs Rita 17. xx
ah well I dont feel bad about your shitty weather because ours is just as bad and its winter here so its acceptable lol. Glad you are home and all is well apart from the overgrown weeds. Looking forward to seeing what your ATCS look like
Trying to wrangle up Australian WOYWWers and have a get together, wouldnt that be nice
Bridget #21
glad you are home again Julia. wrap up warm and get the heating on - after all - it is winter, isn't it. Happy woyww.
Hugs Joanne xx
Welcome home; missed your desk last week but glad you seemed to be having a better time on this holiday. Now it's time to "mess" up that desk of yours......it's far too neat!
Welcome home Julia :o)
Geez, I am number 50 and you have only 25 comments, so half havn't left you a message, that is so naughty of them.
Welcome back, the Queen missed you at the celebration parade and Prince Phillip was so out of sorts with you gone that he had to have a hospital stay. So glad you are back, now the country will be running smoothly again. LOL
I keep wanting to ask you do you have a sissor problem like me? you seem to have a few on that desk. LOL
Welcome home again,
Eliza #50
Hi Julia, nice to see you back, I hope you had a restful and carefree holiday. Shame about the rain, however it is a good reason to stay indoors and craft :) I see I've forgotten to remove my asterisk ... never mind, it's there to remind me of last week's fun. Many thanks for the ATC swap, it was good fun to participate in. Weeds are just flowers growing in the wrong place ... enjoy the flowers :) Happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #48
welcome back julia,i certainly missed joining in last week,are you itching to get back into the crafting i wonder or attack that garden first!
thanks for hosting as always
kay #52
Welcome home Julia! Some of us made a right pigs ear of the asterisk thing last week and there were multiple entries, corrections and little screams of anguish all over the place :) But we muddled through. Good move being away if you ask me! Oh, you didn't ask? OK, sorry :(
Aaaaaaanyhows, hope you had a brilliant time and that your Pa is recovering well.
Di xx
#47 (exactly my age, I wish!)
Welcome home, Julia. Hope your dad continues to improve. I am missing the sunshine already, but at least we had a decent day on Monday (we had a walk around a local harbour looking at the boats). Ali x ps I also noticed how few people leave a comment, which is the case on all blogs - so rude and lazy!!
Hope you had a good time away. just read some comments about asteriks, guess I will have to see what I missed last week? I love your comment about sugar melting in the rain, something I must try and remember. Your desk looks wonderful, as always. Tracey ± 49
Welcome home, Julia! I'm looking forward to more travel bits if you have any to share! Awfully late here, so I've gone past witty to sleepy. Thanks, as always, for the great WOYWW and the swap was super fun for me!
It´s cold and wet also in southern Finland - which is in fact much northern than the whole Britannia... and I´m having that same sugar-problem ;D
Have a great day!
Tuire #14
Welcome home, Julia! Hope you had a great holiday and that your Dad is now ok too. Lovely to see your Jubilee themed desk too. Helen, 16
WooHoo Wednesday again! I actually have a wildflower garden planted here. Oklahoma has such dry weather we have been planting plants found in the wild that prosper well year to year. I wish we got more rain but...sun is nice! Have a great week. Vickie #51
Good to have you home. Hope you had a brilliant time in Spain. Had a great time swapping ATCs last week even if I was one of the guilty ones who cocked up by forgetting my * first time round...ooops sorry.
Hugs,
A x
Wowzer, it's ever so busy this morning! The sun must be dragging people out of bed super early!
Welcome home!
Zoe #60
"Sugar melts in the rain" I must remember this line...not heard it before and it is priceless. I love the fact that a few of us are still having * after our names...LOL I am sure I will be one of them cos I have not linked up yet...note to self: remove *...
Hi Julia I hope you had a super holiday....your little tin looks full of lots of lovely goodies, hugs Erika. #61
Note to Self worked cos I remembered to take the * off! Noddy badge to me today! Even if I award it myself...
Welcome home, holidays go so quickly don't they. Off to our caravan in the Lake District at the weekend so I will be away myself next week.
I celebrated WOYWW anniversary with some new friends so a big thanks for giving us all the opprtunity to meet new people. Julia.

One I Made Earlier Today
Fabulous to see your desk again, and you're back safe and sound! I was watching the Venus thingy last night, then ended up watch the Queeny again while I did my woyww...bed?? ohoo about 4 this morning!! The weeds look fabulous too, so I should'nt worry....I have a few trying to get in the back door, but not for long, have French doors put in very soon, that'll keep the out! Welcome back and Happy WOYWW
(Lyn) it might be 64.... the old Beetle song!
Welcome home! Hope the trip was as lovely as your pictures looked and I hope Dad is on his way to recovery. I admit I was lousy last week and hardly visited my normal number of people, but I know everyone understands, that's what makes it such a lovely place to be on a Wednesday! Take care my WOYWW friend. Zo xx 65
Glad to see you are back. Hope that means dad is too and he is on the mend. If you would like me to send you yet another ATC (like you have room for any more) just send me your address to tertiaj@telkomsa.net and I will get it to you as soon as the South African postal services will allow.
Happy WOYWW
Glad you are back safe and sound - hope you had a fab time. Shame about our weather isn't it but the gardens are certainly looking lush! x Jo
Yay = the world can continue spinning now you're back at the helm!! Missed ya loads. Nice tins, missus :)
HUgs, LLJ #70 xx
Wasn't it a fabulous 3rd celebration ...glad everything your end is back to normal ...and you are now back ....safe and sound ...and hopefully refreshed now.
Back where the queen belongs ...in her royal craft space . xx 72
Wildflowers should be growing outside my crafting window, but alas I'm in the basement...not a lot of wildflowers growing down here!
Thanks for the fun swap, Julia! Have a great week!
Angi ♥#73
Welcome Home! It is chilly here too. I think that Seattle WA and England are kissing cousins in the weather world! At least you got away for a bit! Thanks as always-Amanda x75
Oh no! Last week's post didn't publish until this week - I don't know how I managed that but it means I'm missing out on the ATC swap which is a total b*****. Hope I can do something to remedy this. Oh, and your desk looks fab, lol! x
Helen S #77
Ooh HELLO! Back to earth with a bump eh?
Happy WOYWW Julia. Hope the break did you good and that your parents are doing well.
Hugs
Sarn xxx
If you'd like one of my ATCs, let me know. I'd love to send you one, although no swap required, as I'm sure everyone will want one of yours!
Is the background on your iPad one of your own? I hope so. It looks fabulous.
Have a good one,
rachel, #78
Hello! Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed your holiday. And hope your Dad is now fully recovered. You ceratinly have been jet setting about :o) Some very British goodies in that tin and your ATC's certainly look to have a theme going on too :o) x April #79
Welcome back! :)
My garden has lots of pretty little yellow 'wild flowers' too :) but as you said...it's raining!! lol
anyways, must dash, Take care
Jackie x
First outing here ladies! This is just right up my street as I'm a nosey parker ;)
Thanks Julia for a fantastic idea
Hugs xx
Glad to see you are back, bet you are happy to check on everything at home and then turn back to the sunshine of Spain.
Congrats on the anniversary - what a lot of lovely posts with celebratory atc's there are this morning.
Hugs, Neet #5 xx
Welcome back Julia :) Nice to see you bought the sun with you - well, it's here in Kent at least!
So glad you are home safe and sound. Hope your Holiday was a good one and that your Dad continues to recover! Love your desk this morning!
Welcome home, Julia, and glad you had such a great holiday. I really enjoyed looking at your photos last week. Never mind the "wild flowers" - they will still be there by the time you get to them, like dust in the house lol! Hope you manage to have a great creative week now you're back.
Shoshi
Welcome home.... Bet it's good to be back at your workspace x
Emily #90
Welcome Back Mrs Dunnit! It's good to have you home, even if the weather has been less than welcoming.
I have to say, I'm loving those little flags! I'm not even British - I just live here - but I've gotten all caught up in Jubilee excitement and Union Jack fever! Hubby (who *is* actually British) has only now, after 12 years of marriage, realised that he's married to a royalist. Oh dear! LOL.
See you around, hun!
Anthea (aka Scrappydiva #91)
Welcome home! Hope you had a lovely holiday. :) But back to the crafty stuff! Cool tin of Union Jacks and lovely pile of ATC's. I'm with you - crafting over gardening, especially if it's raining! Happy Wednesday!
Nice to be home? Pouring rain for special occasions, at least nothing changes in England, that in itself can be a comfort at times. I'm still liking all this patriotism I'm seeing everywhere, I got the Pink Petticoat free download but haven't done anything with it!
Hugs

Glad you're back, thanks for organizing the ATC swap, I swapped with 4, that was fun. Have a great week.
Nearly forgot how could I. Been a busy day for me but a quick post for me of my other work desk.
Have a great day guys. Sandy :)
Happy Wednesday! Welcome home, but sorry it's raining. I don't think I could handle so much rain!
Would love to see more of your tapes!
I am really loving my washi and other tapes right now :)
Mary Jo #99
Your tin is so fun! Love the flags! I really love your button jar, too. Button jars make me happy.
Welcome back home safe and sound. It's been wet and cool here in upstate NY, too, but is supposed to at least warm up the end of the week. Happy WOYWW. :)
Nice to have you back Julia, Happy WOYWW. Great looking tin x JB #103
I can't wait to view those ATC's! And the yellow honeycomb piece is intriguing me...
Welcome Home and Happy WOYWW-Ing!
Hi Julia Welcome back to the lovely weather. I am going to remember the cute sugar quote! Just wanted to say thank you for the ATC swap its been fab. I have my coffee in my hand as it is perfect WOYWW snooping weather here in the midlands too!
WOYWW Hugs from Helen 105
Thank you Julia!! And I agree! This is the kind of shameless self promotion that should be allowed. Everyone loves winning stuff!! LOL!!
LLooks like you have your workdesk completely under control and the "wildflowers" too!! You are so funny!!
Happy WOYWW!!
xxD
I hope the holiday did you the world of good and you are now in a better state than before you left.
lovely to have you back in the fold and the desk looks ready to rock 'n' roll.
Love JoZarty x
Sorry I'm so late today!!! I've been all riled up about that wanker Mark Coop - ugh!! I hope you had a wonderful bank holiday! Hugs!
welcome home, you have the best workspace window to look out of, its very calming, lots going on by the look of your desk!Love all the tools of your trade, ha ha.
Hi Julia,
Welcome home!!! I agree with you, yard work is no fun in the rain!
Can you email me your mailing address? I'd like to send one of my ATCs to you. My email is 505whimsygirl@gmail.com.
Hugs,

Welcome back Julia! I have to apologize if your lecture was aimed at me. While I never link to stuff in my shop, I do work on stock in the beginning of the week so some photos may show works-in-progress or I might mention the shop. Gah! Sorry to offend.
So this is where the beginning of the WOYWW is! Glad Daniella left me a link. One of these days I will post my mess.
Hi I have added my very first posting here and do hope I have done the right thing, I have been visiting a lot of desks in secret and decided its time to say boo its me :)
Hello!
I am happy you are back home safe and sound! Your workdesk is all about fun things as always. Good luck with the 'wildflowers' and be careful of the rain, sugar! :<) Wishing you a happy one!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Thanks for hosting! :) Have fun finishing up those ATCs. The white in my journal is a bic white-out pen. It goes on about anything!
Katie
I love how your desk is right up against the window like that--I'm sure your ATCs are going to be beautiful! I am so happy to have a Wednesday at home today and be able to take photos this morning and post right away--I may be no. 127 but I've really enjoyed posting today. Have a great Wednesday!
I haven't had a chance to do much visiting, the end of the school year has turned out to be far busier than the whole rest of the year combined- who new? I'll be better prepared next year! (maybe). Sugar melts in the rain- you're so great! Have a fabulous week and stay out of the rain, we wouldn't want our WOYWW master to melt!!
I'm beginning to keep track of Wednesdays. A day I can surf around the web and giggle at the workdesk silliness.
Now that I'm hooked on WOYWW, are you going to start charging?! Dang! I can barely afford myself now. Glad to hear that you are home safe and sound. The desk looks pretty tidy and I'm impressed at the flowers outside. 10 days of neglect here and they would all be dried out sticks.
I;m looking forward to some time off next week so I can give WOYWW the attention it deserves! Hope the wildflowers are under control...I swear I've got triffids in my garden...
Hope you had a fabulous holiday Julia.
I have finally got around to doing the gerbera tutorial!!!
#131
Happy homecoming!
Really love the chair makeover in your last post. :)
Annie #132
Welcome home. It's been cold here too. Not a normal June in northern California. Your desk looks ready to play. Your wild flowers will wait...why is it "wild" flowers grow so fast and "domesticated" flowers don't. It's just not fair!
Glad to hear you are back safe and sound ! and straight back to work. thanks for the lovely idea of the ATC swap I've had a lot of fun making and receiving ATC's Still got a spare one if you'd like it let me know. No pressure it doesn't have to be a swap just a little thankyou x
Yeay! Nice to see you have returned but your desk is really tidy?? Are you sure you are back?
Hope your Dad is ok now.
Love the "sugar melts in the rain" line! Going to use that next time it is tipping it down at 6.30am and the chooks need letting out! Which will probably be tomorrow!
Hugs

Julia I got my button in the mail this week! It's fabby and THANK YOU art friend!
Well I like the day shot and look at all of that green. One thing about the rain; it makes the plants grow. Gorgeous!! Happy to hear that you are back home and I hope you are having fun celebrations over there in jolly ol' England! Love the tin color and contents. *smiles* Norma
i bet you are glad to get back to your desk, I see you have had the lid off the button jar. Didnt wait long did you! :)
Dont worry about the weeds they will be happy enough left as they are
janet 53
Well my desk is so full Ive had to venture onto the floor, Im jealous you have a cleared space! Hope you dont mind but I added our DT call into our name (trying to get maximum exposure) I am hoping to have a Smash book to show everyone in two weeks time after my return from NY.
Have a good week, get those weeds pulled and enjoy!
Helen x
I just love your workspace. I never would have thought this would be so much fun! Thank you for doing this! I like your ipad...I have a notepad that I enjoy but would still like a laptop! Cute little tin. Valerie #144
Glad to see you back! It's cold and wet here in Western Canada too - boo! We've dubbed it "June-uary"! As always, it's great to see your fun-filled desk! *smiles* ~Jen
Sorry to have missed the anniversary last week, sounds like it was a blast. Well, made it round all the desks before midnight, phew. Love the honeycomb paper on yours, was that a stamp? Happy WOYWW!

Glad to hear you made it home safe 'n sound. I hope you had a good trip! Wow... we can actually see desk there. ;) warmly, Tracy (#93)
I'm back and entered! I thought I got entered this morning but couldn't find me when I got some time to go looking at other desks. (And I accidentally entered me on week 156 #184 if you want to delete). Anyway, I like your chair in the previous post! Very cool! I enjoy your desk. Especially the view!
Welcome home! I linked up and have been having such a beautiful time hopping to all these amazing blogs <3
Sorry I forgot to comment. Glad you are back and all is well. Love your sandwich flags, all sandwiches should have a flag! Great desk. Looks like your swap for 3 year anniversary went well. Next time will have a go. Do you think knitted ATC's are allowed?
Hi Julia, Glad you are back. I'm late, by at least half a day, depending on your clock, of course, but hey, I'm addicted to WOYWW, so maybe I will be lucky last today. I like the look of your ATCs but couldn't zoom in close enough to get a better look :)! That's what WOYWW's all about, isn't it, having a stickybeak?
Oh, and I have put an anniversary ATC in the mail for you.
RosA #153
Do you ever get tired of hearing how thankful we crafters are for your hostessing of this linky party? No? Oh, goody, because I just wanted to say Thank you again! :)
Deeyll (154)
And your workspace isn't looking too shabby this week, almost tidy, oh who am I kidding? It's positively like a neat bomb went off on that thing! I haven't bee joining this party very long but I know this is the first time I've ever seen so much of the actual surface you craft on! :)
Glad you made it home safely, too.
belated happy WOYWW anniversary! yes, it is definitely good to be back home! i'm finally getting some visiting done. but my desk is still chaotic!
blessings and hugs
peggy aplSEEDS
Sorry I'm a day late in getting round this week. I've collected a few jubilee bits to use somehow too! Have a good week.
Lisa Sparkle :)
They are indeed MY Kings! Always have been always will be. Those are my BOYS!
And yes, those are Studio Calico masks in the top section. I love them!
I hope you had a fabulous time!
Sorry I'm so late to the party this week . . .
:)
not sure where wednesday or thursday went! Still going to have a good old nose at the blogs from this week (and last week cos that disappeared too).
hopefully i'll get the time to play along next week lol.
caroline
I'm soooooooo behind with my blopping. Nice to have you home, sorry the weather wasn't better for your return.
Your garden looks a bit like mine - after finally getting a dry spell where the grass could be cut and everything tidied up - we have had nothing but rain and the weeds have had a field day.
You'll have to shown us the tin lid next time.

Re: your comment....my girls just like to mess around with my art/craft supplies. I am having the downstairs apartment painted so my work has been brought upstairs...no deadline. Am getting ready to apply to enter a craft fair though.
