Tea House, Hair and a new Pretty

I have a new Tea house! no, I don't mean a place where I go and drink tea, I mean this:

Tee hee! I love it, isn't it so cute? You just put your tea leaves inside, and it's got a little chain attached to the top with a hook on the end, so you hook that over the side of your cup and away you go! Mmm...


I haven't had any form of dye in my hair for about 8 years, that is until yesterday! I got highlights put in, blondish ones! Click on the photo for a better look. My husband loves them, I'm still getting used to it though.

You can see them better there. And yes I am taking the photo myself, so it's off-centre. Oh well.

And finally, today I made myself a new pretty! Years ago my mummy went overseas with my aunty, and while she was there she bought me some venician glass in Venice (obviously), and I've been stuck on how to use them for a while, but yesterday I went to my bead supplier and discovered these springy little links, and instantly knew just what to do. so here it is! Apart from the purple bead and the blue love heart the beads are the ones from venice. I bought the other two myself, and have plenty more of them. The rest are one of a kinds though, so I can't replicate this exactly. I could do something like it though.

More Jewellery

I said I'd put more of the jewellery that I make on, so here it is. If you see anything you like, let me know and I'll get my Etsy shop organised so that you can get 'made to order' jewellery, you can order a certain style in a certain colour combo and everything :D

For a better look just click on the photos.


This set is called "Wish", and here it is in the colour scheme of 'Delight'.





These are in the style 'Diva', and colour scheme 'sparkle'.


The necklace is in 'lady' style, the earrings in the small 'dangly', the colour scheme of both is 'romance'.



Now I bought these earrings from Target, and I loved them but I couldn't find any necklace to go with it, so I made this choker to match. it is czech glass, and beads of the semi precious stone hematite. I really love this one.
If you have any earrings or a necklace that you can't find a match to, I can, so let me know.
This necklace is in the style 'Stellar', the earrings are in 'mini', and the colour scheme 'Magic'. Take a close look at the pendant when you click on it, it is sterling silver wire with a cluster of swarovskis inside.


This Necklace is in the style 'Joy', colour scheme 'party'. It's all swarovski, including the pendant, and I can get the pendant in any colour and match the rest to your liking.


Style is 'dance', colour scheme is 'pretty in'.


Mmm, chocolate...oh sorry. lost my train of thought. Necklace style is 'Float' and the earrings are in 'poise', colour scheme 'Chocolate'.


style is the medium 'dangly', in the colour scheme 'glamour'.

I've been tagged!

My lovely aunty Rosie has tagged me, it is my first tagging so bare with me. Aparently I have to put the fourth photo from my fourth photo folder on my blog, and then choose four other people to tag as well. I don't know many bloggers yet so this has been quite a challenge, and so I apologise to the two bloggers I have tagged that don't really know me, but I think your blogs are great, and that everyone who reads this should go and check them out.

So, here are my four selections, made after much deliberation:
1. Linda from Lilly Cottage
2. Melissa (my beautiful mummy) from Everyday Miracles
3. Lucy from Lucy Bloom
4. Agapanthus (my gorgeous aunty) from Mad Cow Moments

Now for my photo:

I can't believe the weirdness that this is the fourth photo in my fourth photo folder. From left to right, we have My mum (tagged person number two), Mama, my great grandmother, me when I was about four I think, and Agapanthus (tagged person number four)! Isn't that weird??? I apologise if the two of you find this photo in any way embarassing, but rules are rules. This is from Christmas day, I don't remember it perfectly but I seem to remember it being a really great day full of laughter, and how can you not laugh when you're wearing one of those silly paper hats?

so there you have it, I was tagged.

:)
