I have been really drawn to hearts lately ...   ... in particularly, gemstone and crystal hearts ....  ... gemstone and crystal heart jewellery to be exact!   Maybe it's because I feel that more love needs to be shared in these troublesome times, or maybe it's because I feel the need for a little more self-love.  Either way, I've been busily creating and have added a Heart Jewellery range to the website.   Here are a few

I've been thinking about how much I accept about myself nowadays and remembered the time that I finally learnt that my height - or rather the lack of it - used to cause me quite a bit of anguish.

I had a family wedding to go to and for weeks beforehand, I had narrowed my outfit choices to two dresses.  I knew exactly which

  It was my birthday last week and I was reminded of something that happened around my birthday a few years ago.

Some time ago, I discovered some gorgeous hematite arrow gemstone beads.  I did make a couple of bracelets at the time, but for some reason these lovely arrow shaped beads got lost amongst the rest of my hematite collection.  I always get excited when I discover new unusually shaped gemstones in bead form, and rediscovering these hematite arrows was just as wonderful as it was the first time ...... actually, it was even better, because this time I already had them in my

Balance ..... it is such an important aspect to life.  When we have things in balance, we have more energy and our lives become more joyful and loving. Two little words, "Yes" and "No" .....  Think of these as weights on a set of scales and see how you can adjust them to keep them evenly balanced.
