Treasures

I've got my eyes on some pretty darn gorgeous jewelry lately, after coming across them on etsy and tumblr.
All of these beautiful pieces are definitely going on my wish list, and I think the makers of these deserve some attention for their work.



Bloodmilk Jewels makes amazing jewelry of all different sorts.
I fell in love with them the first time I saw one one of their pieces, a crow claw necklace.
The jewelry is mystical and magical, and is really something for itself.

"Supernatural jewels for surrealist darlings. Made with love and blood in Philadelphia."

You can find their pieces for sale here:

Some of my favourites:

Ornate arrow necklace

Lorraine cross necklace

Lily dale pentacle ring

Lily dale pentacle necklace

Crystal and hummingbird skull ring

Crow claw and quartz crystal necklace

Another collection of jewelry I absolutely fell for as soon as I saw them, was the jewelry collection from Ovate designs.
It is absolutely breathtaking and it all the rings are on the absolute top of my wish list from now on. I'm so in love with them.

Ovate is designed by Audrey Cantwell and made in Montreal.

So, for anyone who's ever thinking of wanting to buy me a (expensive) gift, this is the way to go. Hah!

Christmas stress, recovery and gift certificates

The last few days I've been stressing out a bit about christmas gifts and such, but I got a bunch sent out today, so now all I can do is hope that they'll arrive in time for christmas eve.
Other than that, I've mainly been focusing on recovering from the flu/cold/throat infection thingie going on in my body. I've been pretty knackered, but I'm finally starting to feel well again!
Loads of tea with ginger and lemon is in it's place when I'm ill.

Also cute kitties.

Today Daniel and I have been doing some grocery shopping, and I've put up some gift certificate options in the Venus & The Moth shop!

There will be loads of new stuff coming up in the shop, probably right after the vacation, so expect to see new jewelry and loads of knitted goodies!



Loads of love,
Malin

Metal works, glue and white paint

I've been browsing Etsy some more today. Gosh, there's so much amazing stuff there!

I've found some jewelry from bonesandthings that I think I'd like to wear for the wedding. If I can afford it!

Either this set:

Or this:

They're so pretty!

I've also made some crappy freehand painted patches today, and glued some stuff onto my cardigan. Hah!

Tonight I'm going to the farewell party for Rikke. She is moving to Hadeland on Sunday to go to school there for a year. Sad!
And I'm leaving Norway again on Wednesday, so I'm gonna pretend that the party is a tiny bit for me as well.
There will be wonderful company, snacks and houmous, so it'll be really nice.

I'll bring my king camera and I'll make sure to take some photos!



Best wishes,
Malin

Grey day

Today has been pretty boring, and I've been in a kinda weird mood, and I have no clue why.
I haven't really done much else than play magic piano on my sister's iPad, look at dresses for the wedding online and drooled over some stuff on etsy.
Oh, but I did find wedding rings for me and Daniel! Yet again, etsy is my friend!
They are perfect.

Oh! And also:
I've put up a load of new jewelry for sale in the Venus & The Moth etsy shop!

And I also cut my bangs. Not that you can see that very well in this photo.

Tomorrow will hopefully be a lot less boring! If the weather is nice I'll probably take my sister to the beach again, and in the afternoon I'm gonna meet up with my friend Andrea. I'm really looking forward, I haven't seen her in ages!



Best wishes,
Malin
