Jewelry update

I have just ordered a massive load of new supplies, and some of it already arrived!

So today I have been crafting a bit with what I've recieved in the mail so far...

My battery recharger is still lost in oblivion and nowhere to be found, so I still have to make my pictures with my crappy cellphone camera...

but anyways, I made a sneek peek shot at the new jewelry

So here are a few things I made today!

I like to get it all sparkly lately...

Independence

Lately I have been feeling a strong urge for independence... again.

I don't hate living with my parents, I like them, they do good things for me and everything,

but sometimes I feel like I have to get out and go live on my own.

I imagine about a small appartement in Ghent.

I would decorate it in a victorian or arabian style, victorian is prefered though!

To be honest, I already have some stuff for my future home, like an antique mirror, victorian-ish jewelery boxes, a set of forks, spoons and knives,...

I am a huge fan of both exotic and victorian interior, so the only thing I hope is that I don't try to mix the styles and then totally screw it up. I want my place to look nice!

Just look at those beautifull rich and warm colours!

And those arches are just gorgeous, I love detailed cuttings like those.

Another thing I reall love about this style, is the lamps. I wanted to buy a lamp in this style in Istanbull, but they were -unfortionately- all overpriced!

But then again victorian interiors are very beautifull as well,

they are super cosy and elegant, though exotic interiors are also very ellegant in their own way.

I like the curtains used in victorian interior, same for the sofa's.

Mirrors are one of my favourite objects, and I absolutely adore victorian mirrors!

The chandeliers are nice too, and I like lots of sparkly stuff, so... =3

I just wish I could already have a nice appartement for me and my boyfriend, living togheter seems like a whole lot of fun to me...

As long as I get to choose the interior ofcrouse =')

Cities are prefered, I like being in cities because everything is in one place.

You only have to take a tram or buss to go shopping, no need for driving around and looking for parking all day long.

Ghent would be my first choice because most of my friends live there, I know the entire town, it is a beautifull and it has some pretty cool shops.

I would also consider Antwerp or Brussels, They are nice cities too and I also know all the shops I have to know around there.

For now I'll just have to keep dreaming,

go to sleep in my bed,

at my parents house.

I hope I'll be sleeping in my own appartement soon. <3
