Sneak peek.....

I thought I'd let you have a little peek into my secret garden. No one but me apparently seems to ever spend any time there unless the hot water tank is playing up or the drains are blocked and need major unblocking!
It's only a very narrow space yet in it, I have planted 'special' plants.Plants that are rare, plants that have the most striking colour or shape,plants that I've bought because I wanted to give them
a' go' and see what happens.

Enjoy.......


This pelargonium has such a deep crimson colour.Very intriguing with a touch of noir.
Further along,in the opposite garden bed, this bright splash greets you merrily.....


Almost the complete opposite to its darker sister, this pelargonium is a cheery lipstick or candy pink in colour.
I also like to grow plants for their beautiful foliage and over the next few weeks, I will try and snap a few shots of such plants.

Backyard delights!




Look what I managed to grow in my little vegie patch out the back......my first cauli and not a blemish on it! No snails, slugs, earwigs or other pest, and all grown organically. Please to say I have four more cauliflowers growing nicely too.

On a floral note, just love the cheeriness and blueness of these sweet marguerite daisies growing alongside my pond. Sweet pair of earrings to carry the blue theme through.....

A more complete picture of the choker!

Lady of the night....



I love this pearl necklace/choker.
The softest of grey swarovski glass pearls are strikingly interrupted with the addition of a handful of rich red swarovski crystals giving this necklace the oomph needed to be worn by a lady, a lady venturiong out at night....

Syrian glass find

A little while ago I happened across this gorgeous homewares store in a small country town. As I walked slowly through this haven full of delicious and soothing scents and wondrous homewares,I happened to come across a glass bowl filled with these chunky,clear glass tubes handmade in Syria.

I stood mesmerized! I knew I had to buy them as images of unique chunky beaded necklaces flashed through my mind.

I snapped them up quickly along with a handmade glass bird pendant which I still have to incorporate into a beautiful choker.

The glass tubes were made into this:The necklace feels so good on. It's chunky,comfortable to wear and a beautiful piece of jewellery I think. I wonder who will buy it from my etsy store???
