Scrollwork Ring

I got this ring from London, in Camden Market, about eleven years ago. It's funny that I bought it at a time when I never wore rings! I just knew I had to have it though.

Because of the V-shape, I can wear it two ways: with the V pointing towards my fingertips.....

or alternatively, pointing away from my fingertips. I tend to wear it this second way.

The ring is set with a little black rhinestone (I don't remember now if I had asked, but I doubt it is black onyx). Whenever I see this ring, I think of wrought iron fencing with scrollwork. It's made of oxidised silver but some of the clear lacquer coating has come off over the years. As a result, it has turned lighter and blotchy, looking appropriately aged. Quite vintage.

If you'd like to make your own jewellery, try learning it on Craftsy, Creativelive and Creativebug. Fab sites!

Opening My Armoire

When I was little, no more than five years old, my parents bought me a new pair of shoes. I loved them so much that, that night, I slept with them at my bedside. That way, I would wake up in the morning and those brand new shoes would be one of the first things I would see.

Life was so simple then. Sometimes, I fool myself into thinking that it still is. I still relish the rush I get whenever I buy myself a new pair of shoes. Most ladies would understand the feeling, I'm sure.

However, don't be misled. This website isn't a projection of one's shoe obsession (I exercise self-restraint, really I do!). What follows here are happy things that I like to wear and all other kinds of things that make me smile. Simple.
