Feeling tense..

I am such a panic merchant.

I cant help it but I am seriously worried about stupid old swine flu.

Having a child that has seizures at even a whiff of a fever is making me turn into an anxious, hand wringing old worry wart.

I yell at the kids if they touch the handrail on the escalators..."are you CRAZY?? Swine flu, swine flu!!". Sure, they might fall and crack open their skulls by not hanging on but at least they aint going to get it.

I have wipes, hand sanitizer, bleach and full body suits in my handbag..well, maybe not the bodysuits but only because they wont fit.

Fuck you swine flu, why did you have to give me grey hair and stomach ulcers?

Prehnite earrings with oxidised sterling silver wire wrap

I am loving Prehnite at the moment. It has the most beautiful milky green glow. Yum.

Red coral flower earrings with hand hammered oxidised sterling silver hoops

There is nothing better than gritty hammered sterling silver, especially when oxidised. It gives it such a nice grungy organic feel. Here I've paired it with striking blood red coral flowers.

Gothic fairytale necklace with real brass hand mirror, brass rose with red crystal and etched chain

I was THRILLED when I found this awesome brass hand mirror, its nice and heavy and the glass is the real deal. Kind of creepy but very stylish, I love how gothic and camp this necklace has become!

And the winner is....Obama!

You might think Im a bit late with the announcement but I am in fact talking about the most searched for image on the net.

Barack Obama featured as the number one search followed by Miley Cyrus, the Jonas brothers, some other rap super star that I have never heard of. Veerrrryyy interesting.

And cool.

Because now I get to put a picture of the big fella on my blog.

And I quite like him :D

Things I love on Etsy

SO, I've just been going through my faves on Etsy and thought I'd share them with you.

There is SUCH an awesome amount of talent on this little corner of the world wide web..

Blackboard ring

How cool is this?! Doesn't everyone need a blackboard ring?!

WryandGingers Cards

Seriously, the funniest seller on Etsy. I sometimes spend a good half hour just looking at all her listings and chortling to myself.

Star of the East

The most incredible jewellery made with luminous lovely treasures from the sea.

I have to list two photos as I cant decide which is more pretty..

The infinite sadness

I've been feeling a bit down lately. I blame the recession, the weather, turning on the nightly news.

These awesome artists seem to have captured my mood perfectly.

Weeheyyyyy! Supplies are here..

And you know what that means my lovelies? New prettys :)

Golden Bubbles










This sold straight away but I have another one to list today, just need to get out the liver of sulphur for a nice patina and she'll be good to go..

May the bluebird of happiness poop on your head - Oxidised Sterling Silver, coral, turquoise and Swarovski pearl wire wrapped necklace
