Sugar Addiction

* found here

Apparently I am, addicted....and crashing hard (read random tears, exhaustion etc)...so I am taking one month to be dessert free...which is really extra sad in that many desserts are just sooooooo pretty...eating them is like swallowing sunshine and lace, Springtime and confetti....oh dear, I think it's time to craft something pretty, lots of lots of pretty things to help allay my vice...

Girl Crush

I've resisted this girl blogger for quite some time.  Flip Flopping between I have nothing in common with her, to wow I could have written/said this, while reading, continually being pulled back to re-read her blog...I think the clincher for me was a teeny little quote at the bottom of a page  ...AND THERE WAS A NEW VOICE WHICH YOU SLOWLY RECOGNIZED AS YOUR OWN, 
THAT KEPT YOU COMPANY AS YOU STRODE DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE WORLD,
DETERMINED TO DO / THE ONLY THING YOU COULD DO - DETERMINED TO SAVE / THE ONLY LIFE YOU COULD SAVE ~ MARY OLIVER

A balloon tree...a tree with cluster blossoms of balloons...a wishing tree....

Jewellery Inspiration

These Diorette rings found here are brilliant.  A fairy sized garden on your finger.  They put me in mind of one of my favourite types of (brooch) bouquets

Letting It All Hang Out

O.k maybe not so much, this is more of a putting it out there deal...First of all the lovely ring above keeps popping up for me so I thought I'd better heed the call and post it.  Lovely little thing that it is...maybe just confirmation to the fairytale dinner/cocktail rings I'm going to sell!

* post script to add the fox really is popping up a lot...just finished 'The Painted Boy' by Charles De Lint and it referenced the fox as an animal person/spirit, then reading a blog I enjoy The Fox, as a book comes up...somethings up for sure...

It is no secret how I feel about glitter, it is good.  It is very good.  It is a reminder of the stars, that we are stardust, of fallen stars, of heaven above and magic below...but I don't eat it, intentionally.  But edible stars, pictured here in gold, o oh my.

This Is How We Should Dress

*image found here

Clothes should be more than functional, they should be art that expresses something about the individual.  Not necessary in the Lady Gaga performance art way for everyone, but in a way that captures the joy of playing dress up.

Holy Hannah I Won A Contest!

Yay, me and especially hooray for inspiring blogs like Simply Hue and jewellers like Simply Me Art for doing what they do so well and putting it out there....Now I have to select a piece of jewellery...something for my wedding I think.
