Pretty Pearls and Purses

Metamorphose Swan Emblem PurseHere is my lovely Metamorphose temps de fille purse. It’s white with a lovely gold metal emblem featuring their twin swan crest. I’m so happy it arrived after nearly 3 weeks since it was sent! I am usually not a huge fan of Metamorphose clothing, however they make lovely accessories such as this purse and the matching handbag which I have on order. The gold is so very royal :tiara:

I spent much of this afternoon working on the jewelry craft project for which I purchased pearls this morning. The first item I made is a pearl bracelet. I threaded 16 large white pearls onto some elastic, and finished it with a pretty pink velvet ribbon bow :bow: It slides easily over my hand and looks cute with all the pink and white in my wardrobe.

I made a choker specifically to match the Marie Antoinette One Piece I have coming from BABY. The pearls are smaller and icory in colour, and it ties at the back of my neck with royal blue velvet ribbon. I added a small ivory heart crystal though I may later change this to a gold crown pendant if I find one I like. It looks much prettier in person :sparkle: Please read more to see pictures of both items!

A busy morning

Parfait and the PrincessThis morning Mirai-chan and I decided to visit the craft store as they were having a 20% of sale. We got up early, I dressed in my AP bow skirt and my BABY blouse and brought Parfait along to carry my things :bow: The store was very busy! We had to wait in line for ages and took turns to go fetch things for Mirai’s sewing project. I chose some pretty glass pearls to make jewelry with. I plan to make a white pearl bracelet with a pink velvet bow and an ivory pearl choker with a glass heart pendant and royal blue ribbon ties, it will match my Marie Antoinette dress until I can find a three tier choker :sparkle:

When we arrived home, my new purse had arrived! I bought it several weeks ago and had begun to worry it had been lost in the mail. Fortunately it arrived safely, I will take photos of it later today! Now I’m going to go bake chocolate chip and toffee cookies ^_^
