Feeling Crafty

I thought it had been a while since i posted some of the bits that I've been making so i thought I'd give you a quick look into my craft box.
Most of these are brooches as i have a bit of an obsession with them if I'm honest i use can't resist making them as well as buying them!

All brooches, the crocodile is a kinder egg toy and the gold bird was
from a headband that broke.

Day 22 - A piece of clothing/jewellery that was a gift

I don't really ask people to buy me clothes as a gift as i like to try them on and I'm too impatient to wait for an occasion to be bought a dress that I'm in love with! But i do like to get jewellery as a gift. I wanted to choose two piece for this post.
The first is the necklace my lovely mum bought me for my wedding, for as long as i can remember i wanted a single pearl necklace but always thought they were too expensive to just buy one. I was really happy when my mum gave me the money to buy this for my wedding day. I got it from earnest jones which is not a jewellers i go into usually as it seem, to me a least, quite expensive. I love the necklace but i only wear it on special occasions.

The second piece is my tatty devine name necklace that the hubby bought me along with the ring he got me at the same time. I feel conscious in expensive jewellery always touching it to make sure its still there and being in constant fear of it breaking so I'm much more at home it this type of jewellery, or primark stuff which i love. I love these pieces they are everything that i love, the ring is a cat and if i haven't said already i love them! and the necklace is my favourite colour and has a star on (me and the hubby have matching star tattoos)

Do you prefer to have a few expensive pieces of jewellery or lots of cheap cheerful suff or like me a mix of both?

Whats your favourite gift ?

XOXO
