If I could spend money today ...

Oh Darling Hearts

Photobucket
Cupcake Ring

Cupcakes and Mace

Oh, my love for acrylic jewellery has not yet waned.
My obsession with cupcakes? along with the rest of the blogging world, also knows no bounds.

I can't stop thinking of Kim's* cupcake ring. I think, oh I'm pretty sure I would need a clear one, oo and a black one. If only there was a clear hot pink one!

Kim is based in New Zealand (woo!) but etsy.com is an international site and she can ship all over the world. She describes her rings as Kawaii and while I generally find that annoying? in relation to her jewellery, the term seems apt. And I'm sure it would help in the etsy keyword search.

Kim is branching out into other jewellery but her acrylic work really stands alone for me.

I can't help but love the heart cutout in the cupcake pendants.
But I prefer my acrylic pendants to be smaller than these (42 x 49 mm)

(it might be hard to see, but the hole in the a is a little cupcake!)


Plus? her blog is also adorable. Bonus!

* hee! according to her etsy profile, her birthday is October 9th. Mine is October 8th!

Dear Dearest, Darling, Husband-of-Mine,

You are currently out racing cars (no, seriously, he is) and I have decided that this is the best time, and the best place to confess something.
