Fredbean's Nook

At the very beginning of the year I entered a contest to win a beautiful necklace from Fredbean's Nook. I don't ever enter giveaways or contests on blogs or FB cos it just isn't me. I always think that it's a bit cheeky to enter a contest on a site if you don't usually participate in that site or if you don't know the person. I am just peculiar that way.

This however was something I loved, it was a love at first sight sort of thing. I love all the jewellry on this site and the designer, Emma Thomas, also happens to be an Ex-Pat just like me.

Imagine my absolute joy when I turned on my computer and found that I was the winner.

The stunning necklace, which is all handmade, arrived today and it is even more beautiful than I thought. I am loving it. ( I even changed my outfit just so that I could wear it immediately.)

If you haven't ever checked out Fredbean's Nook, you really must so that you can also fall in love and ohh and ahh at all the beautiful, elegant pieces that she has.

Try as I might to get a photograph worthy of this piece, I failed but you still can behold it's beauty.
