abc-Wednesday - "J"- "J as in Jewellery"

It's Wednesday today, and this week's letter for abc-Wednesday is "J". I am sure that I will not be the only one to choose the word "Jewellery/Jewelry". But I would be silly to not choose this word, since my blog is supposed to be about jewellery.

I had not started to design and make my own jewellery when we got married. Sometimes I wish I could get married all over again, just to make my own wedding jewellery! But I really can't complain. It was a nice wedding, I had a pretty dress, and I got to borrow a lovely green pendant that has a story all its own. You can see it on our wedding-photo:

Is there anyone who can guess the name of the designer/craftsman who made this pendant? If you think you know, leave a comment on this post. The first correct reply will receive a ten-dollar discount on any purchase of a single piece of jewellery from one of my Etsy-shops (parltradet or AnnasAdornments).

Take a closer look:

Hints: This pendant was made of precious materials, but it is its craftsmanship that set it apart. It was not made in an English-speaking country, and it was probably made somewhere between 80 to 120 years ago.

You only have about a week to leave a reply on this post with your name and a way of getting in touch with you. You must leave your comment before I post next week's abc-Wednesday for the letter "K", when I will reveal the correct answer and tell the whole story about this pendant. You do not have to be an abc-Wednesday-participant to enter this contest, but you must be 18 years or older, be able to identify yourself, and have your own blog. In the case of conflict, I have the last word.

Good Luck!
Anna

abc-Wednesday - I is for ice.

I is for ice.

For those who wonder why I went to the freezer to fetch some ice cubes, rather than to just go outside and point my camera in any direction at all to find an image of ice: I was just too tired. I have not been well for a week and even though I am getting better, I have my limits. Sorry. Maybe next week's letter "J" will be better.

Happy abc-Wednesday!

abc-Wednesday - H is for heart(s)

H is for heart(s).
This is is my son, Erik's ice-sculpture with paper hearts frozen inside.


Here is Erik himself in his snow-cave that he dug out himself.

Here are heart-patterned pants, belonging to my five-year-old daughter, Elisabet.

abc-Wednesday "G" is for Green

G is for green.
There is so much to say about the colour green.

Here in the North we are looking forward to the "green" seasons, spring and summer.

There are probably many who, for many different reasons, choose the colour "green" for their G-word today. The Irish, for example, or "Irish at heart", will remember to wear something green on Saint Patrick's Day.

But as for me, I am sticking to my commitment to try to post even memes with a jewellery-theme. So these green, glass-beaded necklaces and earrings are my answer to this week's abc-Wednesday-challenge.

All of these pieces of jewellery have been listed in my shops and can be available for sale. For more G-words, please click here.
Happy abc-Wednesday!
