Congrats to Adrianne! This little pile of office supplies sadly does not come with a plane ticket but hopefully it will inspire you just the same. I’ll be contacting you by email to get your shipping address.

Thanks again to everyone who entered this giveaway. There are more giveaways this week to celebrate three years of The Well-Appointed Desk. Good luck in the next giveaway!

Thames Desk Set

Thames Desk Set

All the great travel destinations mentioned in the Aqua Giveaway have made me even more eager to see the sights of the world. But if, like me, you can’t even afford a plane ticket, maybe the best solution it to make your desk travel? This five-piece Thames set brings some of the riverfront architecture of London to your desk. Each piece is white porcelain with a contrasting red stripe on the base.

If London is calling you too, grab this set from ModCloth for $55.
