Last night I made some mermaids' jewellery boxes.........

using the tiniest of shells.......

I am a solitary person by nature........

Having a shop is a bit of a contradiction for me,

as I'm meeting hundreds of new people all the time and welcoming them into my little world........

But on my days off

I often have a need to be alone, to see no-one and to talk to no-one

so having the shop is good for me, otherwise I would be a complete hermit.........

I love these speckled pebbles.....they look just like birds' eggs

A big, warm 'thank you' to all of you who have begun following my blog since I started in February
