A Weekend Like Spring

What a beautiful weekend we have just had. The weather was very much like a perfect Spring day. Just when I was feeling so worn out from all the cold that we have been having Spring came knocking at the door. I think there should be more of those days.

I was planning on making a lot of charms but you don't let beautiful days like those go to waste so I spent most of both days in the garden and only managed to get a few charms made.
In the evening I tried my hand at ebay to see what treasures could be found and I was fortunate enough to find this old, black and white wooden rule. I was so pleased as they are not easy to find here in Australia and I really wanted one for measuring things in the shop....and it HAS to fit into the overall colour scheme of course:) I also bought 500 sterling silver jump rings for a bargain for all the charms I need to make and a sterling silver ball chain necklace for a steal. What a buzz it is bidding on ebay!

The Beauty That Surrounds Us

The more I look around me.....

the more beauty I find.

There are so many lovely things to behold if we stop to take the time.

Sometimes we take the lovely things we have for granted.

See the beautiful treasures that I found at my home.

What do you see?

Smiles,

A New Week

Here's to a new week!

After a few challenging weeks (raising teenagers, need I say more?), I'm in need of some prettiness.

These are some of the charms that I have been making. These always make me happy.

Now all they need is the solder.

I found a little fairy sleeping in my fern......

......and some beautiful Duchess de Brabant roses to put in my little white jug that I found at the market. Roses always give me a sense of well-being.

Did you see Cathy and my new shoppe blog?......the beginning to our new adventure of opening a shop. It is going to be an exciting and challenging (in a good way) journey.....

Wishing everyone a pretty week too,
