I adore the Blue Jazzy Necklace!
Such gorgeous colours, and the heart shape is the perfect way to show your love for a friend, or even yourself (we all need to love ourselves too!). Oh, and one of my cats is called Jazzy! Haha 
I am so in love with the Candy Ribbons scarf! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I want one! (And you look absolutely gorgeous (as usual) in your new “pretties”
Oh sweet girl! Thank you
If i weren’t out getting all prettied up, I was going to surprise you with ice cream to help your mouth! It’s the thought right? LOL – hope you are feeling better??? XO
Wow–those are some beautiful items (and how can I not love yet another fellow writer?)!
The mother of pearl necklace caught my eye right away. I also admired the elegant vintage necklaces….like Melinda said; how to choose just one?
Wow!! Thank you so much Lynn and Shelley! The Earth-coloured bracelet is so gorgeous and I look forward to wearing it.
I will certainly be telling everyone where it is from and sending them in the direction of Cross My Heart Cottage (and SGM of course!).
