I'm joining up with I Blog on Tuesdays with Jess and TeamIBOT.
I think I actually squealed when I saw a delivery van pulling in this afternoon. Like a girl. That is not like me, ask anyone. But I was expecting my goodies from Under The Shade of a Bonsai Tree which I won recently. What made it even more squeally (is so a word!) was that it was addressed to Birdy Num Num - how cool is that. I know some of you would say "meh" because you've been getting stuff addressed to your big blog name for some time but if you ever remember the first time you'll know what I mean.
Jacquie from USBT had asked me what was my favourite colours and I said probably purple but sometimes red (I thought purple was not a very popular colour for jewellery). I am so stoked with what was in the box....
In other news, I spent a lovely Saturday with some friends in Leura where we shopped and lunched and afternoon tea'd (another new word!). One of the highlights was Cafe Josophan's, the most delicious smelling chocolate shop I've seen. I walked out with a couple of samples which had to be eaten straight away, a Cappucino Cup and a Grand Marnier chocolate. Sorry kids, you missed out (and you still have a shelf full in the fridge of those chocolate rabbits from Easter!).
I also scored these two bargains, a new Birdy Num Num necklace for $18 and a not so new overnight bag for $39 (which Mr Moneymaker tried to steal for his business trip the next day, the cheek! just because I justified the bargain by introducing it as OUR new overnight bag...).
And the final thing that made me squeal like a girl was this wall decoration which would be perfect above my non existent desk in the future, which is, of course, detailed with little birds.
What lovely stuff has made you squeal like a girl lately?

Why my daughter is being nice to me
Last week I received a lovely surprise, I won the Fox In Flats eQUIP competition! Once Miss Chicken realised I would have $100 worth of jewellery she was quick to realise she could benefit out of this and was strangely nice to me for a few days. I wasn't sure if the winnings would come in a voucher or not so I tried to haggle with her that some of it would definitely be in her stocking at Christmas.
Lucky for me it was delivered as a stash of bling and colour (even a pair of sunglasses)! This means that it is all mine and I can lend some of it out to the Chicken as I see fit. It happens to be in the style and colours that I love and I don't have to use my woeful non skills of decision making and I don't have to go to the shops and regret the choices I've made, because somebody read my mind and I (and the Chicken) now have a beautiful range to wear.
I love colour! My favourite is the set of pink/orange/brown beaded bangles which I haven't worn yet as Chicken beat me to them on our first outing.
Do you love to splash out on jewellery? What's your favourite piece at the moment?
