♥Love Etsy Love ♥

I love Etsy!
One of my felt peacock feather hair slides was featured in a lovely treasury, alongside some other fantastic etsy creations. Whilst checking out some of the great items I found this amazing necklace, Caribbean Surf Collar by NEMETON

Being totally impressed by its wonderful beauty and magical mermaidness I 'hearted' it and browsed the rest of nemeton's etsy wonderland! I was very impressed with what i found so I 'hearted' her shop so i could find it again. Later that day I received a convo from Lynn of nemeton saying I was her 400th heart and it was her 'Etsyversary' week so she would like to send me a 'little something' to say thank you.

♥WOW - how totally lovely!!!!
I received this little package in the post today with special rainbow ribbon too!

And inside was this totally gorgeous charm/keyring, which is now hanging from my bag in all its beady, sparkling glory!
Lynn Davy of Nemeton describes herself as an eccentric English seed bead artist who loves to create colourful, original jewellery with lots of texture and attention to detail. All the pieces she sells are her own original designs and handmade by her. Every piece, no matter how simple, is unique and will never be exactly repeated - even her kits are individually packed so no two are identical - so you can be sure you will never meet someone else wearing your necklace!

Her work has been featured in many of the major beading magazines (Beadwork, Bead & Button, Step by Step Beads, Bead) on both sides of the Atlantic. Her signature design is a lush fringed 'Garden' collar encrusted with beaded flowers and leaves. She also loves to make elaborate necklaces incorporating handmade lampwork glass beads by her favourite bead artists. Her inspiration comes from the beautiful coast and countryside near her home, and from the tiny details she observes in nature; She loves to spend happy hours gazing into rockpools whenever she gets the chance, although with another day job and a young family she doesn't get those chances very often!
A few of my favourites from her shop!

Crystals and Flakes

Humid air rising from a warm river on a cold, still morning can form hoar frost on nearby trees and grasses. From fog to flakes to frigid frosts, we have been seeing all kinds of winter weather lately. While this freezing and thawing may be frustrating for ski hills, icefishermen, and winter drivers, it does set the stage for spotting some interesting frosty phenomena with some funny names. Most people know that water condenses during cool nights to create dew , and frost is its winter companion. Shimmering ice crystals form when water vapor in the air attaches to cold solid surfaces, crusting up your lawn and drawing delicate designs on window panes. Have you ever woken up on a cold, clear morning to find the whole world covered in a beautiful white coating of hoar frost ? These especially large and beautiful crystals form when water vapor in humid air settles on objects that are well below freezing, turning directly into a solid (a process called " deposition "), or   bec

Nije me bilo dve sedmice jer  nisam stizala da se odvojim od lap topa i crtanja,posla i tako u krug.Ali kada me je put naveo da posetim po prvi put ekskluzivnu marinu Porto Montenegro u Tivtu iskoristila sam priliku i za fotkanje. Ovo je definitivno nova IN destinacija u komsiluku koja  privlaci u Tivat kapetane ,posadu ,velike jahte kao i turiste i transformise grad u jednu od vodecih destinacija plavog Jadrana. Marina je zamisao multimilionera Pitera Manka ,koji se nada da ce njegovi planovi to podrucje pretvoriti u glamurozno i ekonomsko zariste koje ce biti velika konkurencija rivalima kao sto su Monako,Kan i Portofino.Kompleks je podeljen u pet manjih celina pod imenima : Teuta,Ozana,Zeta,Tara i Milena.Projekat je ambiciozno sastavljen i u njegovom sadrzaju se nalazi i 185 vezova koji su skoro popunjeni i rekreativnim sadrzajima kao i soping centrom ,statusom medjunarodne luke kao i kompletnim servisom za snabdevanje jahti svim mogucim potrepstinama. Ovog meseca u “Porto Montenegr
