Today I Like {16/5/12} Turquoise & Beige Bowls by Fringe & Fettle
I know, I never thought I'd be putting that I liked something beige in the title of a blog post, either. But I simply couldn't go past these gorgeous handmade bowls by Fringe & Fettle. The beige base (though I prefer to think of it as cream) just provides...

Today I Like {15/5/12} The Odette Dress
I would like to don this frock, put my hair in ringlets, and swan around a party with a martini in my hand. There would be lots of dapper gents in suits, with impeccable manners and silver tie-pins. There would be other ladies in equally lovely 50s dresses and...

Today I Like {13/5/12} New Square Wedding Bands {or, Jess v Muse}
Today started off well - with breakfast out for Mother's Day (Eggs Benedict, mmmm) and a lovely few hours with my Mum. Apart from having to drag my sorry self out of bed earlier than usual, it was a great start to the day. Then, I got home, and was determined to...
Today I Like {11/5/12} Love Porcelain Ring in Braille
These rings by Maap studio stopped me in my tracks today. What a gorgeous thing! The dots spell 'LOVE' in braille. Braille jewellery is not something that has ever occurred to me before, and if my quick search on Etsy is anything to go by, there's not a lot out...
New Photos of an Old Classic ~ The Nested Hoops Necklace
If there's one thing I've learnt after 4 years running my business, it's that there is ALWAYS room for improvement. It might be great-big-massive overhaul type improvement, like when you implement a new bookkeeping system, or create a brand-new website. But, I think...
