Enjoying the reusing of old pieces of jewellery, surprised at how popular the 'vintage' pieces have been , though the mint condition brooches that were 20 or 50 pence at jumble sales & car boots now run from £20 each up to how ever much you'd like to spend !

Well, I'm supposed to be on holiday but seem to be spending more time updating and answering questions then when I'm at home..which can only be a good thing !
We are in Ortigia, Sicily and it's great to be so near the water - the apartment is on the sea front, and it's given me a whole new love for coral.
Ciao bella....
