New Scuba Blue Necklace

I am pleased to present the FIRST EVER blue rosette necklace!!! This is also the first item in our store that is a lighter blue than the marine blue we've used for our other pieces :)

I call it... SCUBA blue! because it reminds me of the pretty ocean on a warm summer's day. Ahhh.. I'm aching for summer to arrive! This necklace brings it a little closer, at least.

What do you think??
It's been ever-so popular after it was published. (especially on pinterest)
Will you heart it as well, please? :)

And remember to come back on Friday for the fabulous film linky party! :D

Ps. Will you please vote for me?? Last chance on 11th April. Click here to read how.

Pps. Be sure to leave me a question you'd like answered in the comments. I will reply to them some time this week :) AND I'll give you a shout out!

A Little Inspiration [Friday + Easter Break + Quotes] {instafriday}

Me wearing my lovely butterfly ring after getting
a French Manicure (I did it myself :) )

So today was the last day of school before a much needed Easter break!!! I can't wait to relax and sleep in! I thought I would share a few instagram photos from the past days (follow me please: thegentleflower)



Yesterday I had a Spanish mock exam. It was really difficult, but I got through it :)
We could choose a task where we had to write an essay based on this quote:

I seriously love the quote, especially since I travel and have moved a lot. I didn't choose this task, but I love the quote.

If you don't understand Spanish, it translates: "He who is used to traveling, always knows that he must leave one day."

On Sunday I got the GREAT NEWS that I've been selected as one of the FINALISTS in the Norwegian Handmade competition, Håndlaga 2012. You can read more about that here.

The picture above is a picture of the A Ray of Sunshine - Ivory Coloured Ring with Sun Rays, which is the ring that's been nominated in the Jewelry Category in the contest. If you like it, will you please vote for me? :)

Finally, I wanted to leave you with another quote, in English this time. I had a huge test on Lord of the Flies today, but the quote is from a poem we discussed in English Literature on Tuesday. 

I really like it, and would recommend reading the whole poem!

The last year of high school is tough.. but I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming exam period. That means I'll have lots of time to study.. and I won't have to listen to my teachers blabber nonsense all day and have to study at home instead because I'm don't learn anything from listening to them. Plus no more mini tests :D Don't get me wrong.. I hate exams. But I can't wait till they're OVER! I think the exam period starts soon after the Easter break is over. Yikes!

What have you been up to this week?

What quotes or poems inspire you?

Do you have exams coming up?
