Interior Ideas - Beautiful Bedrooms

I love these bedrooms, such an array of fabrics and textures come together to create really luxurious rooms. My favourite is the third one, so much to look at you'd think it would be overwhelming but it just works.

Which one do you like best?

Jewellery

These are 2 of my newest necklaces, simple discs with hand stamped images, I love the heart but don't you think the diamond stamp is great? I can now have as many diamond necklaces as I want ;)

I've also opened a new website using Tictail which is a really easy to use free site for e commerce stores, take a look here......

Cheers to May....

This Gin and Juice cocktail looks really delicious, or how about a Banana Almond Smoothie for  those of you on a health kick, which is something I need to go on after our holiday! We had a really great time and hopefully I'll get round to uploading some photos next week. Enjoy!
