Primark Jewellery Finds

While I was in Cardiff for the week I did a small amount of shopping. I popped into Primark for a browse around, and got these lovely beauties.



The earrings were £2 for the set of six, bargain! I got them because I loved the pink roses and the little floral cameos, but I'm sure I'll get round to wearing the others too. I also bought the huge floral ring, it really is huge, one of the biggest rings I own. I think it was £2.50 but I can't remember. It's not adjustable but I picked up a size large for fitting on my middle finger. I think that's the only finger that could pull off such a giant! And lastly, I got the gorgeous sparkly elasticated bracelet, I adored the purple rondelles and loved the cluster look. I'm pretty sure this one was £2.00.

I've got so many things that would go with these items, so I was very impressed :)

What are your latest Primark jewellery purchases? :)

FEATURED: WendyHouse Vintage Tea Party Bracelet

You may have noticed a few changes going on, I'm giving the blog a bit of a make-over :)
I'm considering making a list of fave blogs but there's so many of you it would go on forever. If you'd like to be added though (I must already follow you), then please let me know :)

Anywho, I'm playing catch up with my blog entries. I've had all the ideas sitting in my head, and some of the words jotted down in notepad, but nothing has actually been posted. I'm feeling a bit lazy lately.. :/

************************
A while ago, I wrote about WendyHouse, an intriguing website filled with lovely goodies. You can find the post here.

After meeting with a friend on friday, I was delighted to find this little gem sitting in my post box :D

Wrapped beautifully in candy striped packaging, labelled WendyHouse, inside waiting for me was a gorgeous charm bracelet.

Based on the tea party theme, this bracelet is a popular piece at WendyHouse, and she also has different designs to choose from.

But just in time for spring (hopefully it'll warm up soon!), my lovely new bracelet sits proudly on my jewellery/cake stand.

I wore it out for a shopping trip and found it very comfortable, it's lightweight and so easy to wear, and it goes with most of my wardrobe :D win! It also has an adjustable chain and a cute heart that hangs from it, it just oozes cuteness in pastel form.

Go get yours now from wendyhouserocks.com

FEATURED: Room Eleven

Room Eleven was created by Ellie just under a year ago, offering beautiful yet affordable sparkly jewellery pieces, fit for all occasions. Originally derived from a hospital stay, Ellie's skill and passion for jewellery making arose, and now she finds herself crafting a range of items.

Her inspiration comes from history and art, particularly the glitz and glamour of 1920s fashion. This is illustrated in her Purple Tone Metallic Rainbow Bracelet, shown below.

This is for sale on Folksy for £3.00, which is very reasonable. It would look great with any type of outfit.

Ellie also loves using pre-loved antique findings, that make her pieces unique.

But my favourite piece has got to be her Sparkly Amethyst and Silver Bracelet, which appeals to my sparkly side ;)

It's so pastel and cute, it would fit with most of my wardrobe. It's also elasticated and would suit all kinds of wrist sizes.

Besides offering her excellently handcrafted jewellery, she also accepts commissions, so if there is that special something you can't find yourself, she may be able to make it for you.

You can find her on Folksy here, and her blog is here :)

Love is the Key to my Heart Bracelet by The Vintage Jewellery Box

I'm not usually a fan of this much gold in a jewellery piece, but I really do love this, it's also themed around 'secret love' which makes it rather special.

If you'd like to be featured here next week please drop me a line at sparklerosedesigns@live.co.uk (or find me on Facebook/comment here) giving me a link to your product :) Product needs to be a 'trinket', which can be any form of accessory really :)

I'm due to make a trip to Cardiff on wednesday which should be fun. It's my Dad's birthday so I'm hoping we can do something like a family meal while I'm there. It's likely I'll go shopping :D Cardiff is so much bigger than Lincoln and there's so many shops to choose from. I love hunting around in Primark for the fun of it, you never know what you'll find, and the Primark in Cardiff is very big.

Time for coffee :D

These lovely items all have an autumnal feel to them, for me anyway. It's such a grey and wet day, autumn/winter are definitely on their way! There's nothing nicer for me than curling up in front of the tv in wintertime, hot chocolate in my hand. Yummy.

In other news, I have a collection of 'sparklebead' bracelets to show off very soon!

Love,
