Engagement Ring Part II

It's official- I've finally got my engagement ring- after waiting for 5 months! It's definitely worth the wait as I love it. Just took some photos of it in the sunny afternoon sun. The padparadscha sapphire looks beautiful and the diamonds are so much more sparkly than they were in the original setting.

Blue Monday- Something blue...

OK- so this was meant to be a Folksy Friday but unfortunately due to my first hangover in a very long time it didn't happen!

This week I've got lots of beautiful blue items from the lovely September Embers listing club from Folksy. This week I've made a little handbag charm for my friend who is getting married soon. I've made it in case she doesn't have anything blue yet. It's another beaded bead which admittedly nearly send me made making them but I love the way they look.

Thank you to everyone that I've included and I hope you enjoy my blue collection (and that the sky is blue where you are)
