Friday Pretties: Jazz up your day ...






...by wearing some funky jewellery! 
The bright yellow bauble in these pictures belongs to a wristlet of mine, that looks like it is made of chocolates wrappend in tin-foil. All the kids love it, when they see it, and for me it's a reminder to never forget that a little sweetness can change your mood any time. A chocolate truffle, a raspberry icecream, a lovely compliment, a bunch of flowers, a little walk in the sunshine, a hug, a song, a smile, a small present ... hmmm, maybe buy something for your friend today, because -
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

  1. Oh, now THAT is a lovely, lovely message my dearest! AND THAT BAUBLE IS SO DELICIOUS LOOKING! The first thing I thought of was a chocolate candy! My oh my, it is almost Friday and HALLELUJAH! I need the break already! I cannot wait to go on summer break, to see more of the beauty of blogland and of the people who really care to share such beauty!

    Be well today dear heart and thank you for this lovely reminder to SHARE THE LOVE!

  9. Baubles that look like chocolate? Now that's my kind of jewelry!!

    It's raining here again so to visit you today with such a colorful and cheerful post made the sun shine in my heart and my studio :) Today is a friend's birthday and she's been dealing with a chronic illness. I'm going to cheer her up with some of her favorite design magazines!

    I'm so glad you like my new do, Martina! I'm still a bit numb about Paris. I'm leaving May 18 for a week and meeting other women at a rented apartment. No man included. Unless of course, a savvy Frenchman sweeps me away and I'll have to call my hubby to tell him I'll be late getting home :)

    Have a bright and cheerful weekend, dahling!!!!!!!!

  13. Beautiful jewelry!! My dear hubby and I go out for coffee at our local "Borders" book store & cafe and they sell the little wrapped truffles that have that same sort of gold wrapper. I once saved one of the wrappers to put in a scrapbook because I thought it was so pretty!
    I do think we bring cheer to ourselves when we think of brightening up another one's day!! :)

    Thanks for the warm cheer today!

    xoxo Gloria
