Ok, I’m not trying to take the lazy way out here but I will not be doing a valentine’s list and I refuse to post a neon pink etsy mini. I will encourage you to have a look at my own personal etsy favourites though – stuff that I heart, sellers that I love, insight into what this girl wants, perfect last minute valentine’s gifts for her that are just as perfect on any other day!

Remember your grandmothers pearls? The standard princess necklace, which consisted of a single strand of pearls 16 - 18 inches long made with perfectly round pearls, uniform, lustrous, simple, elegant and oh so versatile.

You might imagine that because I make jewelry that I would make my own jewelry instead of buying it. I actually buy a lot of jewelry because I think that to make it for yourself is a bit of a chore rather than the treat it’s supposed to be. Today I decided to treat myself to what I call “granny’s pearls”. I have always thought that the best way to wear pearls is in the princess style and that no jewelry box is complete without the mandatory princess necklace of perfect pearls. They are indubitably the little black dress of your jewelry box.

Having searched for hours to find my “granny’s pearls”, I resolved to have to make the necklace myself! I think that I’ve seen every type of necklace involving pearls of any description that you could possibly imagine except for the one I wanted. There were hundreds upon hundreds of them. I did see one necklace that had a lovely style and the pearls graduated in size from large to small back toward the clasp. The only draw back is that they were "simulated", glass or plastic? with a laughable price tag of US$70. I can’t believe it - what happed to granny’s pearls? Is there a conspiracy? Is simple elegance dead? Could I really rob a nursing home?

I'm totally addicted to moo.com! Their stickerbooks and minicards are just far too fabulous. I've always used vistaprint to make my business cards and I was told about moo.com yonks ago but I'm one of these people who hoards stuff and resists change.

If you've ever seen the minicards, as the name suggests they are smaller than a normal card and the print quality is excellent. The site itself is actually a pleasure, very user friendly and the pricing is just unbeatable too. You can turn your flickr photos into fantastic minicards in just a few clicks. In fact, it's all a bit too great because you'll probably end up buying up a storm.

In fact, you could also use another great site that I discovered this week, futureme.org, to remind your future self to buy some lovely moo cards.
