Hello lovelies! How are you all? I’m very excited to announce the winner of this month’s giveaway is Rachel B.

Congrats! I’ll be in touch soon, and I’ll be making you a sweet little pair of square sterling stud earrings!

Now, there’s not going to be a giveaway for the next two months… and it’s not because I don’t love you!

It’s because for me, it’s holiday time!

Nick and I are heading over to the UK and France for 6 weeks, to visit the in-laws, other family and friends! I have to say, I’m mega-excited, because despite having been married to an Englishman for almost 2 years, I’ve never been over there before!

We’re going to visit lots of places – Nick is from Southampton, so we’ll be based there with my in-laws – but we have plans to visit Oxford, Falmouth (in Cornwall), London, Brighton – not to mention Paris and a few other spots in France!

So, I’m not going to be here in June and July to make pretties – hence no giveaways (although, you never know, I might just crack and find something special on my travels).

It also means that both Epheriell and Vintette (all stores) will be closed as of June 10th, and will re-open on around August 4th (depending on how jet-lagged I feel!). So, if you want to buy someone (or yourself, of course!) a gift for a special occasion in that time, make sure to order quick-smart!

*bespoke* will still be selling during that time, though, I am roping in my trusty mum to keep the zines going out the door! Oh, and speaking of *bespoke* – in case you missed it –  Issue 3 is now available for pre-order – yay!

Oh, and I also intend to still be here, blogging away – as long as I can find myself some internet access!
