Select your favourite place on earth and wear a custom piece of jewelery based on the topographic landscape. I really like the idea and if it wasn’t for the price I’ll get like 3 of them… yeah I haven’t been able to make a decision, so as usual I’m going for the easy way: I want them all!

Ooh this is just so wrong, I think I’d love to have one of those (I didn’t specify if I’d be wearing it). This is the way it works: It shows the number of Google hits you get, when you search for the name of the person who wears it (more info about the project here). Yes, I admit, I’ve googled my name in the past (okay, okay that was just last month)… and I frequently google names of people I know (yes, my friends, I’ve googled all of you and what I found wasn’t so pretty)!

or not… it came… went quickly away… and hope’s gone now. It’s over, no more chance or getting some proper sunny days at the park. But, hey… I could get myself this pretty necklace! Yup, if I can’t have the sun I should be allowed to get the sunny jewelry.

Something nice to start the day with (though I’m wondering who’d be wearing a yellow jumper?). The weather has been miserable here for… wait… how long? I’ve totally lost track!

skylarkstudioBefore I started tat blog I didn’t know how much I love jewelries. My obsession is starting to get pretty ridiculous at this point. And I have to remind myself that I can’t buy all of them… This is really too bad because I’ve just discovered Skylark Studio and I really really want the Buckhorns Necklace and again I know… not my birthday….  it’s not Christmas yet….I didn’t do much lately to deserve it! Life can be tough some times!

Today I feel homesick. It’s not so much that I miss living in France, but I miss afternoons spent watching my mum sewing or cooking. Well, really I miss being 5 years old… And this is all because this morning I was looking at those necklaces from White Owl. It’s just reminded me of times where I could be happy spending hours wearing a curtain as a veil pretending I was getting married to Goldorak.

 

Fingerprint Wedding Bands August 10, 2009

A lot of girls around me are getting married and it makes me happy. O.k don’t get me wrong here, I’m not any pro-marriage freak, it’s just that if people around me are happy it makes me happy. So, girls, look at those wedding bands, they’re amazing. I like the idea of having your beloved one fingerprint on your wedding band, it makes it very unique and it’s much nicer than having the classical wedding date engraved. Hubby and I have our initials in binary code engraved in our wedding bands… yes we are geeks… but it’s ok we know it…

I’ve been obssessed with Abigail’s jewelries for a while now. I keep visiting her online shop and feeling like buying but everytime something’s stopping me. You might think I’m silly but I don’t buy anything because I feel like it’s too pretty for me… nearly like I’d be ruining her creation by wearing them! They’re just so beautiful and I feel I need to do something really special to deserve it. Obviously I can’t use being a new mum twice… maybe I can treat myself because I’m back at work… hehehe… I’m pure evil …

hello

So that day at work wasn’t so bad. Tomorrow I’ll be in a better spirit, so I could wear a hello necklace, or greet people with a friendly hi or even invite them for a cup of tea. I really like Joanna Rutter’s jewelry collection, she’s probably one of my favourite Etsy seller.

Tonight my heart feels heavy and cloudy. Tomorrow I’ll be back at work after 9 months spent at home with my little bundle of joy (I know, I know 9 months is already soooo much!). But even if I know this is the way it has to be and it’s not like I’ve got other plans at the moment, it feels sad really. So I wish I had one of those necklaces for tomorrow, so people don’t keep asking me how I feel about being back at work (dear beloved friend and colleagues… please don’t ask me… really… I’m serious)
