NEW: INITIAL NECKLACE

I've got a to-do list today which is as long as my arm, but I wanted to take a few seconds to share what arrived in the post this morning. 

I've long been a fan of delicate gold jewellery, and Etsy is by FAR the best place to find the delicate gold jewellery of one's dreams. I discovered Bijoux by Desi F whilst trawling through one of my favourite blogs - What I Bought Today by Anneli Willis. I recently ordered this little number and was overjoyed when I saw the little package sitting on the mat this morning. 

I have always liked the idea of initial necklaces, but kept my distance because of my slightly unfortunate initial. Any other initial actually looks like an initial (except maybe 'I') but 'O'... looks like a circle. However, I decided to put these reservations to one side and make the purchase. I'm not about to change my name and my obsession with this necklace wasn't going anywhere! I'm very glad I did  - it is a beautiful necklace and I'm sure it will become one of my most worn.

LE MOME BIJOU

How lovely is this jewellery by Le Mome Bijou? Pretty lovely. I am a girl that does not mind wearing a bit of life advice upon my wrist or around my neck. I'm not a screaming slogan sort of a girl though (heavens no) so it has to be subtle, not in your face. Such bits and pieces would rub shoulders with my everyday jewellery, part-hidden and largely unnoticed except for a flash of colour here and there.  But they can still quietly reassure and remind and maybe, sometimes, even inspire.  

These subtle little treasures come with an array of sayings and sweet nothings dangling from them: 

"Je vois le vie en rose" 

"I've got you under my skin", "Life is a journey, not a destination" 

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift"

... to name but a few. 

These lovely bracelets are available from Matches (where incidentally all the images are from too).
