I am fortunate enough to have some Lovely, Lovely friends in my life!  Last week – being my 27th bday – my great friend Lindsay blessed me with the prettiest little necklace I’ve ever seen.

This gem comes from an adorable Etsy shop called Schmooks.  If you’ve never heard of Etsy before, it is a showcase of handmade goods from around the world allowing small-time crafters and makers the chance to sell their products online without having to advertise or set-up their own online store.

The home page is full of ‘handpicked’ items from around the store and any buyer can delve into the endless depths and categories to find the perfect handmade pin, vase, or tshirt.
Etsy according to Etsy:

Our mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers. Our vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice:
Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

So Anywho.. Lindsay’s awesome and came up with this beauty that I absolutely adore!! It came all the way from Australia with a sweet little hand-written note attached: “Many Thanks Lindsay, I hope you love it. Best wishes, Claire”.  She also included a pretty little card, titled “Love Nest”, designed by Schmooks.
The necklace also has a cute chain hanging from the back with a little bow on it. I love everything about it and will probably be wearing it non-stop for a while – better get used to it!
