Wishlist Wednesday!
Tomorrow is my 26th birthday (yikes!), so I got a bit carried away with my wishlist....can you guess what I really wish for tomorrow? ;) We'll be spending the morning shopping for vintage boots, then driving down to the peninsula for lunch, stopping at a few of our favourite wineries on the way, can't wait! I confess, I have a boot fetish, I have a pair for every day of the week...but strangly I dont yet own a black pair, so I think that's where my hunt will start.

Treasury!....Pastels....
The lovely Mich of Michvanetta has included my "Breathe" earrings in this beautiful pastel coloured treasury, thanks Mich!
My crystal lust....
I've been fascinated with vintage things for as long as I can remember. I love the romantic notions attached to something that has lasted unscathed for so long, and is still as beautiful and useful as the day it was made. So, naturally when I began to use crystal in my jewellery, I was instantly drawn to the stunning cuts and colours and the the old world charm of vintage Swarovski, the finest crystal beads in the world. I've amassed quite a collection, which I'm slowly giving up to creation....I think I'd just prefer to have them safe in their box, looking pretty, but I do love the feel of the peices that come from using vintage crystal. They seem to take on a life of their own.
Then there's the newer styles of Swarovski crystal, which I'm equally fond of but rarely use in my work. The past few weeks I've gone a little crystal mad and have been making up lots of pretty sparkling earrings for Etsy. I am in love with the newer "Helix" shape, reminicent of the older styles of fancy cut crystals. They're just spectacular in person.
