A Rather Lovely Summer Surprise ...

Hello, on this gorgeous, warm summer's day. Doesn't it feel gooood? Something else that also feels good * linking smoothly to my news * is being a winner. Uhuh.

Not usually lucky in draws or raffles, or frankly even those bran tub exercises (if memory serves) I was DELIGHTED to be a winner in one of Lizzy's brilliant giveaways. I was touched yesterday to receive, not only the beautiful necklace I was expecting, but some brilliant extras too. What a lovely, talented and generous lady. Thank you Lizzy : )

Now then, before pics, Lizzy's blog is here - and she has got 2 other give-aways running right now - so pop over and have a look.

Absolutely gorgeous! Go on - off to lizzy's blog with you!

My Abyssinia bracelet was featured in a treasury this week too, which was a marvelous pick up. Thank you Vintage Beader! By happy coincidence she is also a talented bead weaver. Here is her blog, her Dreamaid shop, and her Folksy shop.

Aaand finally. I'm setting up shop at a Pamper Evening run for the Cancer and Bio-detection dogs charity at the Littlebury Hotel in Bicester on 18th June. I am really looking forward to it ... here are the wee 'Cupola' earrings I've donated for the raffle. Hope they're OK...:
