Summer is here!!

Hello everyone :),

How are you all? I hope that you have been enjoying the sunshine. Hasn't it been beautiful?! I have been sat out in the garden making lots of earrings and photographing some new bits and bobs for my shop. I have had such a lovely day. My freckles have seen the sun and have come out like crazy hehe :) ! Anyone elses done the same?! I am so excited about summer, can't believe it is June and summer is finally here. It is my favourite time of the year.

Trying to list lots of new items in my shop and yesterday I listed some little watermelon earrings. Today I was really thrilled as they got featured in the most beautiful summer treasury by a lady called Kate who is from Gloucester. So happy that my earrings have already been featured in a treasury and such a beautiful one as well. Big thank you to Kate for featuring me. Please be sure to take a look at her shop, she has some lovely things.

Thought I would share the treasury with you all so that you can all enjoy it. Doesn't it just make you want to go on a summer picnic!?

Vintage Style Nails!

Hello everyone,

I am feeling rather summer today, the doors and windows are open, the garden deckchairs are out, I have been listening to some summer songs and Boo (my puppy) is running around the garden and has decided the best place in the whole garden to lie in are my flower beds!! I have bought a beautiful new vintage sun dress which I have been wearing today and have decided that I need some nails to match!! I am always jealous of those girls who have beautifully painted nails with little designs on them. I always thought that I would never be able to do those kind of nails are they look too fiddly but today I found a video which shows how to make pretty summer nails with vintage style flowers really easily and without having to have the steadiest hand in the world! I thought I would share it with you all. The colours are really vintage and they have beautiful rose designs on them. The youtube video shows you step by step how to do them.

Hope you enjoy the video.

I would love to hear from anyone who tried them out or anyone who has any other cute designs painted on their nails. Please drop me an email with a photo on thedorothydays@hotmail.co.uk and I shall feature your pretty summer nails in next weeks post as a summer inspiration post.
