Look at Mel's cute house!

Go take a look over on Apartment Therapy to see my friend Mel's lovely craft room, and marvel at her well dressed cat. Mel and I recently did a little swap-a-roonie when she saw the Blue Bird necklace that I had picked up from Top Shop and I said i'd send her one, in return I got a wonderful swallow stick pin, made by her super talented friend Sonja Ahlers. I love swapping with ladies who have great taste!

Project Spectrum: Blue Bird

Ok so the majority of this image is the red of my favourite red cardigan, but this is really only an excuse to show off the little blue bird necklace I just treated myself to. I decided in October last year that I would try and learn all about wearing jewellery, a phase I seem to have missed out on in the past. So here I am, 33 years old, showing off my newest attempt at jewellery wearing.

Necklace from Topshop a shop that I never visit as the largest size it sells is still about 6 sizes too small for me. I saw this in a magazine and knew I had to have it!
