Winning

So as anyone who follows me on instagram may have seen,  I recently won a piece of jewellery from Scarlett Hearts through the wonderful Irish blog WildChildStories.com. You may have read in my post back in Aprill - Jewellery Is Fantastic - that  Scarlett Hearts is also fantastic. While I think having previously featured this Big Cartel in a post may have helped my winning of it and boy am I happy that it did!

Ciara contacted me a while ago to say I had won, thus beginning the impossible challenge of picking just one lovely piece from all that Scarlett Hearts has to offer - trust me, it was a seriously tough decision. In the end, I settled for the both beautiful and intricate Fancy Spoon. When I was a kid, my grandmother had two little wooden plaques mounted on the wall of her sitting room and on them hung little spoons - just like this one - from various countries and decades. Seeing this beauty reminded me of them which is why I choose it - that and it reminded me a little of Carey Mulligan's Prada frock for the 2010 Oscars for which I have previously expressed adoration! And when I opened that little package I was delighted that I did chose it.

I was particularly delighted to see that the necklace arrived with a little hand-written note on a pink heart shaped - of course - note. Also very impressed with the little red heart bobble at the clasp of the chain which certainly is a sweet little added touch!

So I haven't actually worn it yet but in the name of posting, I grabbed my camera and took a few photos of my highly, ahem, beauty spotted chest.

Isn't it gorgeous?!

The necklace, I mean. Obviously.

Anywho a massive massive thank you to Ciara at Wild Child Stories and Charlotte at Scarlett Hearts.

Cheers for reading,

Jane

P.S. I'm fecking off to Zambia for a little bit with Habitat for Humanity so I'm afraid you won't hear from me for a while. Expect lots of Zambia themed posts though on my return!
