Serious stuff.

First outside photos for aaages. Might be the only ones for a while as it was bloody freezing. I'm not sure that my fingers still haven't thawed. Some dog walkers were very interested in what I was doing. Nosey.
This long jacket thing was my Mums' which she wore to a wedding. Morose isn't it wearing black to a wedding. But I kind of like it very much and I felt positively witch- like walking around the forest with the wind blowing it everywhere.
Whats this? I come home from Istanbul with more rings? Yeah that sounds about right. The rough cut amethyst and the pointy silver one are my two latest additions. Each loved as much as the million other rings I've brought back from there. I've come to realise I've got the beginnings of a serious ring addiction and its not helped by the fact that I can find amazing rings all over Istanbul for seriously reasonable prices. These two were from the Grand Bazaar and Eminonu.
I reckon I'm nearly ready to open my Etsy shop. I've been sourcing stuff to make my jewellery all over the place and I think it's all looking pretty good. We will see how that goes.
