Sea themes...

Hello,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was great for quite a few reasons.
We had a lovely weekend away with some friends at the super nice spot Durdle Door. Its in Dorset and my pal Sarah's family have a place there so we packed up our cars on Friday night and headed down.
We stopped off in Bournemouth on the way for some evening arcade fun and finished off with some fish and chips. Hey, its the seaside they always taste better!

On Saturday we spend the day on the beach (the beach you see above). It was a lot of fun. People swimming in the sea and generally lounging and drinking cider. I love England in the Summer. Sunday was spent at the seaside again and at a carboot (I love a carboot!) and in the New Forest whacking golf balls into the forest. An altogether ace weekend.
The icing on the cake for Sunday was this lovely bit of press in the Observer featuring our Locusta Necklace. Very pleased!

Heavily featuring no less! So today has been a pretty busy one preparing lots of lobsters to go to new homes.

Stuff I love...Yetis

Hello,
I love yetis.
Ever since seeing that famous grainy footage as a kid of a yeti filmed in the US (later the people who filmed it owned up to it being a hoax) they have captured my imagination.
I am signed up the Soma Gallery newsletter and I fell in love right away when I received their July newsletter this week.

This fantastic artwork was featured. Its called 'Yeti Hibernation' by Graham Carter and its simply lovely. I cant stop looking at it. My imagination is captured all over again.
