Wintertime is almost here...

Yesterday evening up North we actually had a bit of snow or soft hail... We had dinner with the family after having been with my mum who's in hospital. And while enjoying my favorite dish of freshly stir fried king size prawns, shiitake and vegetables we saw snow falling steadily for a short while. I can't remember summer but fall seems to have been only a few weeks or even less. My mind is tuned on winter and despite a few bright colored bracelets I mainly pick the softer more quiet tones. Pity that Trollbeads doesn't do these softer hues for their glass, but luckily I've acquired an extensive series of artisan glass last year so I can do at least a few bracelets at the same time.

Thank you Nadia for again swift and perfect shipment of my new purchases!
The jellybeans were gone before I knew
