It's been a few days since I shared something from my Folksy Store. Not the plan but you know what they say about plans... This blue goldstone and pink magatama bead necklace is one of my favourites. The matt sheen of the magatama beads really sets off the blue goldstone. folksy.com/find/item/85...

Back to normal after a week off. The brain does not want to cooperate today. Anyway, today's item from my #Folksy store is this pale blue marbled oval and crystal necklace. I love the light-catching sparkle of the crystals between the cool, classy, pale blue stones. folksy.com/find/item/85...

All orders up to date and safely in the hands of the post office, so we're onto updating theme tags. While I'm in Folksy shop mode, here's one of my favourite of the necklaces (I say that a lot 😂). Purple crackle glass and hematite, for a very light catching combination. folksy.com/find/item/85...

Time to show off another item from my #Folksy shop. I'll admit that when I bought these orange glass beads I had no idea they glow under UV, I just thought Ooh orange 😂. The glow is much brighter than it looks here. folksy.com/find/item/86...

Taking part in this again in November. The August one was so much fun and the number of talented creators is incredible. It's free to join the group as a customer/browser. The market runs throughout November, so it's perfect to pick up some of the festive shopping and decorations.

He's so into it, and a lot more organised than me. I'm more spread everything out until nothing is in the right place, work like that until it becomes impossible, then clear up and repeat process. This is one of the models he got for Christmas, which now lives on the dvd unit next to the tv.

I've been using Vicks Sinex for the congestion, because I can't handle the sensory aspect of a blocked nose either. The best thing I've found as a balm for my nose is a little pot of Carmex lip balm. Soothing and healing.
