Mondays blues!

Ohhh Mondays are the hardest morning aren't they - trying to get up in the dark doesn't help nor that fact my dh switched the heating to come on AFTER I get up brrr!! I love the Autumn though I love the freshness of the air but it doesn't stop me yearning for warm mornings where I can feel the heat in the air really early in the morning - maybe having a poor summer doesn't help - can't complain though this October has been lovely and warm!

The above bracelet contains amazing beads by Mary Parker of Flamingo Beads the colours in them are really beautiful - go take a look at this talented lady's work! OH and an artisan made toggle by Hannah @ Kutuu :D

Twelve hours left ....

SOLD

Twelve more hours of being *cough thirty *cough something * cough before graduating in to another year older and before all you wise ones think I'm forty I'm not got another *cough few years left before the big 40 lol!! I will be celebrating my birthday with my lovely Mum and my gorgeous daughter who a the age of 5 yrs,11 months and 28 days pulled out the dyson and hoovered the lounge while Mummy ( embarassed moment) was finishing her new bracelet (pictures in the next few days) then she went out and picked in the washing as it was starting to drizzle - so who wants to hire her!!!







This necklace is a commission for a lady going to a friends wedding in Italy, the Artisan beads are beautiful with flashes of yellow and palest blue, Mary Parker has truly mastered boro!





I can't decide whether to go and do the ironing now or crawl into bed with my daughter (who always takes the place of missing parent - E is off playing golf - yes I know its my birthday tomorrow!) and read my latest Jilly Cooper book Wicked, the reviews were awful and apert from some of the characters being incrediably young and somewhat unbelievable, at the same its not a bad read - then again maybe I read trash too much!!

Indian Summer

Well those of us in the UK are hoping for one anyway!!

The weather is horrendous here (am I repeating myself lol) with gales and rain so heavy and continuously falling it has flooded many parts of the country. Instead of the heatwave of last year we are in coats, carrying umbrellas and its more welly boots then flip flops!

Anyway this is the name of my latest piece which will be on the website from July 1st - the silk ribbon colour is fabulous - the deepest fuschia pink -- delicious :) Mary Parker of Flamingo Beads created these fabulous boro beads - the colours are fantastic and I wish my photography picked it up better!

Don't forget to submitt for my newsletter on the website for the chance to win some earrings ;)
