Oh Darling Hearts

Druzy Agate
I put little stock in the healing powers of gemstones* but the glittering saturated colours of druzy agate make my heart beat just that little bit faster.


Geode Ring $98USD


Ice Queen Ring $98USD


Wild Watermelon Drusy $95USD

and the one that started it all:


The Druzzy Agate necklaces made and sold by the lovely Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere.

Just before Midnight on Saturday I started making brownies for lunch on Sunday afternoon. The brownies were delicious and didn't last even 6 hours. One day, perhaps, I will remember to post the recipe.

Monday: Cupcake! for helping a coworker

A co-worker gave me a cupcake as a thank you for helping him on Friday.
It was delicious and worth the proof-reading and re-wording.

Saturday: Alexander Wang hair
Like so many others, I wore my hair in a loose side plait. Inspired by Alexander Wang SS10.
I really don't like this self-portrait but I left it until Saturday and I really had little choice.
