New items on Etsy

Normally in the Easter holidays I would be off in my camper van (he is called Brian, by the way) enjoying the outdoors, but it is freezing in England at the moment and I am becoming a bit of a wuss.  So instead, I have been whiling away the hours making new jewellery and putting it in my Etsy shop.  Here is what I have made:

Pink Heart Chakra Pendant
$46.00     £29.70

Pink Swarovski and Pearl Earrings
$36.90     £23.82

The Sea Calls To Me

Every week I like to create a treasury on Etsy.  A treasury is a collection of other people's items that you like, generally with a theme.  I have decided to post my treasuries on my blog for you to see.

This week's treasury is called: The Sea Calls To Me

It was inspired by the first item - a photograph of my favourite place by the sea - Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey. I remember the day I first discovered this magical place and I feel compelled to return every year - the sea calls to me.

I hope you like it,
