Banana Bread
I can only eat so many bananas, so I made us some delicious Banana Bread the other day using this recipe from Simply Recipes.
It’s an easy peasy recipe, took about 5 minutes to throw all the ingredients together. That’s my kind of recipe!
I went with 3/4 cups of sugar and added some mini White Chocolate chips. It’s a good thing I took these photos of it when it came out of the oven because it’s all eaten up now!
New packaging
new etsy shop packaging
Finito!
Well, the blog is done. For now. It is a constant work in process, but I’m happy with it for now.
Of course I didn’t take a screenshot of the before, but here is a tiny image I found online.
I got rid of all my shop flash widgets, changed theme colours, etc. I’m hoping to eventually create my own original share icons again, but for now these will do.
I never did get around to retaking my packaging photo, as discussed in my last post comments, but I will! Hubby is home ill so I’ve been tending to him – that is my excuse!
And if you’d like to see even further back, you can check out this old post.
I have a whole new appreciation for web/graphic designers. I wish I could afford a professional, but alas, it’s just me.
Thoughts?
New look, new packaging
I haven’t discussed this here yet, but I’ve recently made the decision to change my branding. I’ve got a new logo for my shops and I’m in the process of changing my packaging/colour scheme. Next, hopefully this weekend, is the blog!
To help with this I recently acquired a bunch of new packaging supplies from the super lovely, The Gilded Bee on Etsy. She has such a wonderful shop, I could seriously spend all day in there!
Here are a few things that I got…
( I got some of her cute, wee flowers, too. But, I put them on display in my studio already and they didn’t get into the photo. )
If you are looking for some super cute packaging supplies, from a very sweet seller, I highly recommend The Gilded Bee! She also writes a beautiful blog, be sure to check that out as well!

Monday Moodboard – Rainy Day
We’ve been experiencing a lot of summer rain recently.
In Ireland? No way!
This has inspired today’s moodboard.
One thing I do enjoy about the rain? It brings out the tiny little froggies from their hiding.
To see more Monday Moodboards, please head over to FleurFatale!
Collecting Nature
Poppytalk has started a new group over on Flickr called Collecting Nature. These are just a few of the photos I have submitted myself.
WIP to completed
Remember these?
They are now finished and I am thrilled with how they turned out.
They’re a little glam, a little modern and a LOT of sparkle!
And they are now listed in the shop! Silver Pods Earrings
Wednesday WIP
Just something I’m working on.
I’ve decided that the craft room/studio needs some bunting!
I have to have things to work on that are not related to jewellery in any way so I don’t lose my sanity.
