I think someone forgot to tell the birthday gods that you aren’t supposed to feel yucky with a cold (not swine flu) on your birthday. It’s Wintery, cold and rainy outside and I good morning for snuggling in a warm bed, but I’m wide awake at 5am with a pounding headache, achy body and runny nose…. what fun!

New necklace

At least I have this beautiful necklace to cheer me up. One of my new favourite bloggers, Lisa Clarke of Polka Dot Cottage, makes jewellery. As soon as I saw this set, inspired her recent trip to the beach, I knew I had to buy one for myself as an a birthday present. And I just LOVE it!!! Be sure to visit her shop to see her other creations – they are so beautiful.
