I love butterflies and this blue and purple brooch is fantastic and it's only £5 (before discount!)

My jewellery box feels empty...

My jewellery box feels empty, it's not but it feels it to me

My wardrobe is pretty much full of black mixed with grey, brown and dark khaki. I've now got some green and purple in there but with my recent return to work I have reverted back to my black leggings with a long top/jumper.

And The Winner Is...

My One Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway ended last Friday and yes I'm only just getting round to announcing the winner, I'm seriously slacking. AGAIN!

Anyway the winner is *drumroll please*

Sarah Loves... Grace and Firefly

As you may have noticed I have a new Giveaway up at the moment featuring some goodies from Grace and Firefly that were kindly donated to me through their twitter page.

This is why I like both etsy and twitter for finding pretty new things and this one is a great find. Here are some of my favourite items from their etsy shop.

Another Giveaway Winner

I've been a bit late with announcing the winner for the Laura's Jewellery giveaway. Naughty me!

And so the winner is *drumroll please*

It's Giveaway Time!

The lovely Laura's Jewellery have given me some gorgeous jewellery items for another giveaway. :-))

@Tempsec Giveaway Winner

So it's time to reveal the winner for the @Tempsec giveaway, who will win all the goodies in the picture!

Becoming a WAG

With everything that's going on at the moment I probably was more than a little surprised that Spurs boy has joined a Sunday League football team. I asked on Twitter if this meant I had now become a WAG, and apparently it does!

So a WAG I must be. Immediately my head was full of premieres, shoe shopping, perfumes, my own clothing line etc. In reality though my life doesn't change, I was just getting carried away for a few minutes hours.

Another Giveaway featuring @TempSec

I said I would do another giveaway didn't I?

Well this one is fantastic and it involves some lovely jewellery items from Temporary:Secretary. They have recently launched their new website and are looking into future expansion plans.

Sarah from Temporary:Secretary says

"Temporary:Secretary’s ethos will remain the same; we want to make people happy and inject a moment of sparkly fun to their day. We want to offer products that will make girls smile, get people talking and build a strong brand which inspires and promotes individuals to stand out from the crowd. That it is ok to stand out from the crowd, and be your lovely kooky self"

So onto the giveaway:

Alice you're terribly late you know...naughty!

How gorgeous is this Wedgewood tea pot, I want it. Anyone would think Alice in Wonderland was out in the cinemas the amount of Alice themed items around. I'm also loving this necklace from Love Hearts and Crosses

Making Home

When making yourself feel at home, it's important to buy a few things to make it feel so. Well that's what I've done! This won't be the last of the shopping I'm sure, I still have a WANTED list! Also we have got to work out where the football stuff that we both have will end up going...

IKEA Malm Dressing Table

Come In Go Away Doormat from Nigel's Eco Store 

Next Jewellery Wall Plaque

We also did buy a breadmaker and this has definitely provided more instruction manual reading (well for me anyway). This is on my wanted list but it's pretty pricey -

The Old Oak's Last Dream by Missemai from Bodie and Fou

Shepard and I absolutely love Winnie The Pooh and all the stories and this carries on the delightful stories. I had a look around and found some gorgeous Winnie The Pooh inspired items on Etsy and just had to share them with you all.

These would be perfect for birthdays, valentine's etc and they are just lovely!

These are absolutely fabulous for keeping up with all your letter writing or maybe birthday card. I want these winnie the pooh cards . pack of four

 

Another beautiful piece of jewellery from Laura's Jewellery :-)) This Beautiful Winnie the Pooh Card Necklace is just one of various styles available

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Seeing family that I haven't seen for years over the holiday season.

Will be starting to look for a new place this year - very exciting stuff.

New job seems to be working well, although not really overly sure of what I'm doing just yet.

How gorgeous are these Alice in Wonderland brooches and whilst on the site check out the other Alice in Wonderland items and the Wizard of Oz ones too

Practising Beatles Rock Band :-))

The Bad

I've fallen behind with scheduled posts and will put up a 'Sarah Loves...' post next week (I have slapped my wrists)

I like snow but I had enough of it when I was back home and now I'm visiting family up north it has snowed more. Probably had a full month of snow now - sick of it really. Keeps me indoors and that means I eat more :(

Need to get myself self motivated to do sit ups starting next week!

The Ugly

Have not done any revision yet for exams coming up, although I seem to actually know a lot of the stuff so hopefully I should be okay.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Still loving having a chocolate each day from my advent calendar! Although realising this soon stops :( WEEK TODAY AND IT'S CHRISTMAS! :)
I like the fact that Rage Against The Machine might make No 1 for Christmas over X-Factor

I have won more prizes this week on twitter and I even won £20 on Magic!

Had another lovely follower of my blog this week - love you all!

I'm loving all the festiveness (is that a word?) and glad I finished all my shopping weeks ago

Feeling proud of myself as I definitely turned a corner this week - I deserve to be happy!

Realising there are a few job opportunities available but now can't decide what to pick?

Finding these new necklaces from Funky Junk Jewellery, Key and Beads Necklace and Cute Tourist Necklace 
Having a snow day! (but also see under the bad below)  

The Bad

Still got bruises! Pretty greens and yellows now

Feeling low in myself (this got sorted in my Good section above)
The snow causing the Christmas party for where I volunteer being cancelled but we're hoping to do a party in the New Year and this will possibly be a Valentine's Disco!   

The Ugly

My 'wanted' lists gets longer week by week...

Sarah Loves... Scrabble Tile Pendants

I have decided to do a weekly blog about my weekly find as I browse the internet and this will be called Sarah Loves...

So this week whilst searching on Etsy I found scrabble tile pendants, yes that's right they are made using a recycled scrabble game tile and then fixed onto a chain. There are so many of these available to buy on Etsy and in other places and it seems to be quite easy to actually make your own. You can buy your own scrabble making kit to get you started.

The best seller I found was peachypendants and here are some of their designs

 

All of the items (including the scrabble making kit are available from peachypendants

Has anyone bought similar or do you make your own?
