I don't think I've mentioned yet that I am 2 1/2 weeks away from a BIG birthday. Well biggish anyway. Lucky me, I will share this momentous occasion with the Federal Election this year.
When asked what I want for this birthday I've said to Firegazer that I just want to spend money on whatever takes my fancy between now and the 24th. So far I've bought clothes and shoes. No handbag yet, but I've still got 2 1/2 weeks.
This means no real surprises, but hey the shopping is fun.
So it was lovely to get a surprise gift this weekend. Domestic Goddess and her family visited from Melbourne on Saturday and Sunday and while they were here gave me the beautiful necklace above. This necklace was made by Domestic Goddess. Isn't it amazing? She makes the most beautiful things. I'm currently trying to convince her to get an Etsy shop.
Edited: It's such low light here today that none of the photos of this beautiful piece really show it off to good effect. Will keep trying and post a better photo soon. Mx

oh what fun... and what a wonderful idea. Spending money (guilt free) for 2 1/2 weeks - I hope that you find many beautiful things :)
That's really beautiful. Domestic Goddess has done well.
Firegazer is going to wish he'd never asked you what you want, and had instead come up with an extremely extravagent surprise idea of his own...it would probably have been cheaper in the long run! (But not nearly as much fun...)
Can't believe she made that! It looks very professional. I'd have done the beads in the wrong pattern for sure. Happy shopping you!
That IS such a good idea for a birthday present. J may not thank you though.
Really lovely necklace - the colour is beautiful.
Bad luck about election night though...
I love that necklace - it looks great. Enjoy the next 2 1/2 weeks.
Oh it's gorgeous, very vintage looking. Have a wonderful spending spree.
The necklace is really pretty, I love that color.
What a lovely present and unique too. Hope your shopping trips are fruitful, I often find if I have the time and money to go shopping, then there is nothing I want in the shops.
Sorry to hear about your hard-drive fatality. Hurry up and get your new computer so you can start posting again!
Oh- the hard drive fatality explains the lack of recent posts. I had thought M was so busy in her pre birthday spending spree she had no time for her cyber duties!
fantastic idea for a present I must remember that next year!! love the necklace, lucky you!!
