A gleaming sea-scene....

Ok, this weekend proved more tumultuous than previous expectations and the only blog-related thing I managed to do is clean up my jewellery drawer. While cleaning I took my cue from BonjourJr's Alice and decided to get a little creative with the operation so welcome to CJB's Under-Sea Adventure-complete with reef, surf and pirate's chest. As you can see I pick up jewellery in the weirdest places, I love glittery things and my mother is particularly generous and discerning. Enjoy!!!
