Vintage Style Jewellery - Clocks, Carousels, Owls and Cuckoos!

On my recent escapades in the lovely city of Brighton I bought myself a few pretty things, it's the summer after all and come the next academic year I won't be able to afford to! I bought two polka dot dresses (which will no doubt feature in my next blog) and these two gorgeous necklaces! The white heart necklace has a cute fully functioning clock too...


The pink rose locket for £3 and pearl heart watch pendant for £5 both from New Look

My lovely buys made me think of the beautiful jewellery available on Little Deer's website I love the vintage style and quirkiness of every piece! There are some truly lovely vintage dresses on their site for sale too, which I recommend you check out!

It's Etsy My Dear Watson: Sherlock Holmes delights!

I, like over 7 million others, tuned into the BBC's new drama, Sherlock Holmes adaptations with a modern twist. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the famous Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman takes on the role of Dr Watson. Yes, there were somewhat over-emphasised use of i-phones, computers and the like (to highlight the fact that this is a modern take on the Victorian classics). But Overall I think the Beeb have done marvellously with it, well acted, sprinklings of humour and great chemistry between the characters. Needless to say I will be tuning in for the next instalments!

I decided to have a little search for some Sherlock Holmes related delights on Etsy and here's what I found...

Published in 1955 including 8 of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories
There are seven silver plated charms on this bracelet, the Baker Street sign, book covers, and Sherlock's famous silhouette.
Coming full circle with this one, the integration of Sherlock and modern technology. Show your love for the Victorian detective by decorating your Macbook.
