New Starts

I took photos of all my favourite things from today, and it's just occured to me that they all seem to be around the 'new start' theme! And I can't think of anything lovelier to share with you all on such a grey day.

Yesterday was a gloriously sunny, 'windows open' kind of day and it really felt like Spring was on the way - especially when I noticed one of my little tea cup crocuses had flowered!


Then my new ring from Novica arrived (super quickly!) - I think it looks fab stacked with my vintage jade ring and I'm loving the 'Hope' braille message that is a constant reminder of my own new start.

And how's this for a 'new start' - a brand new little life! My lovely friend let me have a play and do my first ever bump painting on her. I can't take credit for the design as it was just a copy of one I found on google, but it was really good fun and so cute to see how her baby reacted to the different brush strokes. Definitely going to be a ticklish one!

PS. I'm not being paid for this post, but the lovely people over at Novica have asked if I'd put a couple of links on to show you some more of their beautiful products. As I really like the ethos behind the company (it's a global platform for artists around the world - have a look on their info page). I spent a lot of time eyeing up the amber earrings and silk shawls, so more than happy to share those with you all too!
