I promise I promise I promise to post about my latest DIYs once the weekend finally settles, as I have a few goodies to boast about ;) in the mean time, I've been etsy-surfing. I was initially looking for cross earrings, but of course I stumbled upon loads of pretty things life now seems strangely dreary without (could this possibly be some sort of curable disorder? and if someone was able to cure me, would they perhaps also be able to teach my mind and body that being hungry in the evening when I have already eaten excessive amounts of things I should not is unreasonable?).

This lovely lady makes african inspired pieces that appeal strongly to my long-term love for tribal jewellery. In particular, I adore the african woman mask earrings and the chain ones with ear cuffs. Seeing as they are quite modestly priced (USD 25 and 19, respectively), I might just throw all caution to the wind and buy them.

In the search for all things cross-embellished, I found some perfectly subtle earrings (here),

a decidedly less subtle but temptingly fierce necklace (here),

and this beautiful bracelet (here)
