Friday Roundup

Today Alex starts grammer school. She spent 3 half days last week there at summer school but today's the first day of the uniform and classes. I've got such mixed feelings. So proud of her on one hand, dreading the inevitable growing up on the other.

Jewellery wise I've been working on custom orders and have been introducing some new items. I'm continuing to add to my earring section and been pleasantly surprised that they are actually selling LOL!

Aubergine Pearl Dangle Earrings


I've made this matching Aubergine Pearl Cluster Bracelet which I've got to say, I absolutely love!


And finally I've added this new Purple Pearls Memory Wire Bracelet

Back at School

I can hardly believe the kids are back at school today. When they started their summer holidays at the end of June. the 9 weeks stretched ahead of us and I viewed it with a mixture of dread and anticipation.

Routine has gone out the window with them both sleeping regularly until after 8. The drudgery of the school lunchbox was no more. I didn't need to have uniforms ready every morning.

We seemed to do loads this holiday too, even though the weather has been really disapointing. We had our 2 weeks in Cornwall, a few days in Scotland, our day trip to Malahide, we've been to the cinema, snow tubing, been walking on the north coast, had sleepovers, been to the beach and played with friends.

Back to the school run, all the after school activities and nose to the grindstone for Alex, who has to sit her Common Entrance Exam in November.

All good things come to an end I suppose. But I'm sorry it's over.
