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.
The fourth of color-themed sample giveaways in honor of the third anniversary of The Well-Appointed Desk and we are still going strong! This grouping includes a Handbook square sketchbook, a mini Moleskine notebook, and an assortment of pens. Some items may have been used for writing tests and review but are practically new with one or two pages marked in the back for testing purposes. More items may be added later.

Strangely enough, I had the same number of entries into the Orange giveaway as in the Green giveaway. Well done, everyone!
Onwards, to the winner:
Thanks to everyone for playing along with my game and making up fabulous rhymes, limericks and poems that all attempted to rhyme with orange. Good sports, the whole lot of you!
This week, I thought I’d cull through all my desk, pen and office supply boards on Pinterest and give you some visual Link Love. Check the sidebar to find me on Pinterest and follow the boards that interest you.

I’ve been implying to folks that I’ve been working on a “secret project” at work. Well, its not so secret anymore. Its a little app called Soundpic that turns your video into a still image and a sound clip in one neat package.
Not only was I actively involved in the design of the user interface, I designed the logo, art directed the promo video and even let them use my largely-unused Facebook page for the video! I am amazed what we could do with just a handful of people and some wishful thinking.
We’ve been running around looking for cool sounds to capture with our images: from rustling leaves to steaks on the grill. I’m still on the hunt for one of those old school sprinklers to add to my “summer sounds” collection.
Soundpic is available on the Apple iTunes store for iPhone. And its free. If you like the app, please let me know or leave feedback on the app store. Thanks!
