Have you ever had one of those days when you needed to do ‘X’, and then before you know it, inspiration strikes and you start doing ‘Y’? After a few rainy and dull days, maybe it was the sunshine streaming through the window that made me feel like picking up my camera and doing a little photo shoot.

I have spent the last week or so updating my Etsy online store by adding new finished pieces as well as ‘made to order’ items. So, I played around with this ring holder, styling and moving it around until I had something ‘working’. I put that word in quotation marks because as an amateur photographer, I am still trying to figure out what looks good and what doesn’t as I go along. It does help that this is such a pretty, pretty saucer with little gold flowers.

I just adore this necklace that I bought at Bizou this past summer when I was in Quebec City. It’s funny, but when I was younger, I only wore silver and absolutely hated anything in the colour gold. At the time, I thought only ‘old ladies’ wore gold and I certainly did not want to be that. But trends and fashion have changed, and now I absolutely love the sophistication and elegance that it brings, especially when it is paired with black and white. Maybe I am finally growing up into a fashionable lady? Well, I certainly hope so! What do you prefer — silver or gold? I would love to hear from you so please leave a comment below.
