Something Special and Magical Happened Over The Weekend

It all began with a silent thought.

One lazy Saturday morning I felt like sitting in the sunshine.

 Of course tea was involved !

I had a plan of action in my head of setting up an Etsy store to sell my new jewellery line.

I needed some quiet time to myself to plan it all out in my head.

SO

I took my prettiest tea cup and saucer out of the china cupboard, popped the kettle on the stove and went about setting a little quiet space up on my veranda (porch) to settle down for planning time.

I quite fancied some of my rose tea, so I popped the sweet little bag into my cup, filled it up with boiling water and settled down on my chair to think.

and this is when the magic happened !

Thoughts running wild in my head I silently picked up my dainty cup and tilted it to take a sip.

I glanced into the cup and something caught my eye....

Tiny glimmers of sparkles were dancing all around my cup ! :-)

I think that fairies had paid my cup a visit as I was sitting there in the silence !

I had a giggle and set down the cup on the table.

AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW !

I called out to me beautiful daughter to come and see !

Another sweet smile :-)

So it appears as though MAGIC DOES HAPPEN !

I have not used these cups for a little while now but somehow fairy glitter has spilled into the cup somewhere on my travels. I have no idea when, how or where. It will remain a mystery.

I like to think that the fairies blessed my thoughts  and gave me a gift.

You see....I have been wanting to open a little Etsy store for quite some time.

My new jewellery line has been sitting there for quite a few months now waiting to be sold. There has been a hold up on some of my antique French lace arriving and I wanted to have lots of goodies ready for you all before I opened the store.

My lace is due to arrive this month but I had been thinking of just throwing caution to the wind and just opening the store up with what stock I had.

SO WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENED I JUST KNEW THAT IT WAS TIME TO ACT

NOW !

WHY WAIT ?

So I am busy organising myself.

I am washing my precious lace supply, I am ironing, primping and preening ready to begin my new journey in ETSYland.

If all goes well I hope to have my store opened and ready to go next week.

This is a little peek at one of my new pieces !

PRETTY !!!!!

Beautiful on the inside and out !

This is where the magic happened !

Magic is all around us.

Sometimes in our rush or our fear, we ignore it.

It turns up when we least expect it to.

I look forward to creating beautiful treasures for you all to enjoy.

I have been creating beautiful things for as long as I can remember. It is in my heart and in my soul. It makes me happy and I love the joy that it brings to others.

So my friends, I invite you to come with me on my journey, share in my love of crafts and beauty and enjoy the ride.

and may the fairies be with you :-)

Have a beautiful day

Melanie
