I won Rach's Blog Contest!

I've followed Rach's blog for ages now (I'm sure you've seen me mention her name a few times because her blog is FAB and she has become a really good friend), and I know I posted to say that I was one of the three lucky winners of her contest....

.... well, this post is embarrassingly overdue - I'm so sorry Rach! It's been sitting in my drafts folder for weeks - yes, that's weeks. Plural. Patiently waiting for me to shift my bum and take some photos *hangs head in shame*

I won!! I never win anything so I was sooo happy!

Without further ado, here are the beautiful jewellery pieces that Rach made for me - I'd chosen to have a necklace and bracelet but each winner could choose from a necklace and earrings, bracelet and earrings, or necklace and bracelet.

I couldn't believe it when I opened the parcel as Rach had made them in my favourite colours, teal and purple! She'd also included stars on the necklace and purple bracelet - and I love stars too! (Psychic Rach???)

I love this delicate necklace! I've tried to capture how it catches the light.

Silly camera - I need a DSLR in my life!!!

Lots of sparkly beads and teeny-tiny stars!

I love the purples in the matching bracelet, with the stars continuing the theme :)

This bracelet is a wee bit darker in 'real life', a lovely teal green

Regular readers of my blog will know that I love handmade jewellery. I really like the fact that nobody else has the same item and it's lovely knowing that I've had jewellery made especially for me - and that doesn't happen every day!!

Needless to say I was over the moon with my prizes and have worn everything several times since :) I think every girl should own some custom-made jewellery... thanks again Rach!

Do any of you guys love handmade jewellery like I do?
