Congratulations to Linda on being closest with the list of items. The serrated strip was from my roll of cling film. The "washer" was actually the metal circle from an old bra strap. Linda please send me your address and post-it preference.The bracelet above is a charm bracelet of sorts, and much as I love it, it is listed in my ETSY (SOLD).
Can you imagine my joy when I found this amazing old wooden box full of rusty nails at my local tip-shop? A real holiday treat, and I am so proud of my friends for hiding their complete horror at my purchase choice.
And finally one of the joys of life is my darling nephew, we've spent hours playing with pegs (Archer was not so keen on that one - the dear boy had Archers ears pegged all over), drinking imaginary cups of tea, tickling and laughing. Joy.

Lovely bracelet Julie - wonderful work as always. Love the 'peg play' - funny how children can be amused for hours with simple things like this - one of life's joys :-) Hope start of school year will be kind for you.
I like the container that the nails came in!
Love the bracelet, the workmanship is extraordinary!
Hope you enjoyed your summer hols and are ready for the New Year!
xoxo

Your friends should know that you would love a box of anything rusty!!

Well done Linda, a worthy winner. I love that bracelet Julie, how can you bear to part with it!
Julie - I'd never ever think to use a bra strap adjuster in my work! The beauty of altered art, aye? The charm bracelet is charming indeed! I'm off to your Etsy store to have a closer look!
Very lovely bracelet! I can see why it sold so fast.
I've enjoyed looking at your other summery photos while I'm here in the snow.
This bracelet is terrific, as usual!
Love such rusty stuff as well ;-)
Congrats to Linda! I bet the shopkeeper thought "FINALLY! I thought no one would EVER buy that old box of nails!" And what a great find it was!
cracked me up about the nail find...but then realized I totally and completely understood
sorry for me that I missed getting in on that beautiful bracelet giveaway
WHAT a sweeetness that photo is of nephew and pegs and hands....
Love the description of poor Archer and imaginary cups of tea being sipped
You are such a natural writer.
xo. S.
ohohoh I see, as I scroll down (Catching up)
it was not the bracelet for the give away. I GET IT.
well so sorry I Missed Out on the giveaway for the NECKLACE !
ahem me again
so I jumped in to write that last comment before I finished the post before
thinking I was saving myself from being one of my pet peeves on blog comments
people who think they know what I have posted but when you read their comment you realize they didn't get your post / read it at all....
so yes, Now I am back to say that it was not necessarily the necklace being given away
and to tell you
really. I . Do. Pay . Attention .
now...did I miss the part where Linda picked WHICH ITEM ?
or do you want to wash your hands of me altogether?
whatever you decide, I have to go now because in scrolling I saw a KITTEN and more pet photos and I am anxious to get to see whats going on there !
xo-S.
Julie, I received my wonderful Post it magnet today!!!!!!!! I love it!
Thank you so much. It is already on the refrigerator.
The bracelet is super and already SOLD! Congratulations. Can't wait to see what you do with the nails.
