Ok – first up a small confession – I planned this post to be Wednesday Wishlist! It’s now Thursday – so no fancy alliteration from me today

When I was thinking about what regular things I wanted on my blog – a wishlist was one of the first things I thought of.

It stemmed from two things. First of all, what is normally my regular Wednesday morning, I drop the children off at day care, and swing by my local shops for a coffee in peace before getting cracking on my working day. Unable to look a gifthorse in the mouth, I can’t just sit and enjoy, I have to wander while I drink my Soy Caramel Latte, and I wander aimlessly – at a pace that would frustrate me on any other day. I try to avoid myself from entering children’s shops, making the morning all about me. So undoubtedly, I am always coming across something that I quite happily covet!

The second thing it stemmed for is a little less selfish – or is it more selfish? One of my pet hates come birthday or Christmas time is the question – “What would you like for Christmas/Mother’s Day/Birthday?”. I really dislike answering it, I usually do answer it, or even go and buy the present for myself! But what I dislike more is the ensuing lack of surprise come the big day.

So Wishlist (Wednesday) was born in my head – a post that allows me to be a little bit selfish and share with you what I am currently coveting – whatever it may be!

This week, was a little different however, as I lost my internet reliability earlier in the week, so I had to forgo my coffee to come back to the office. Luckily, I already had my eye on something.

I discovered White Raven Designs on Facebook towards the beginning of the year, and Nita’s gorgeous charm bracelets had me in love at first sight. Based in Adelaide, Nita hand makes each vintage style bracelet with crystals, pearls and glass beads. And while the theme may be repeated – each piece is unique.

I love the Autumn Gold bracelet above, it’s warm tones remind me of the time of year I am excited about Winter. The sun is still shining, the leaves are falling and the nights are cool. I dream about Pumpkin Soup and crusty bread, getting out the winter jackets and boots and wrapping a warm scarf around me.

Below, is the gorgeous Emerald Isle. Which satisfies my new obsession with GREEN since seeing Wicked! The Musical.

And because those who know me, are wondering why on earth I haven’t picked a Pink one -

I love the little fairies, and the sophistication that the black and steel grey beads give to this bracelet. And of course, anything with gorgeous shades of pink like this, is of course going to attract my eye!

You can also find White Raven Designs on Facebook and Made It if you prefer to buy in Australian Dollars.

So fellow Shoppers and Dreamers, what’s on your wishlist this week? I would love you to share.
