Swell people

"What's this?" I hear you cry, "A cheeky mid-week post?" Indeed!

I normally only blog at the weekend, but this week has been a good one - and it's all thanks to a couple of very wonderful and talented bloggers.

First of all, the incredibly adorable Emily of Deranged, My Love was kind enough to write about me and my jewellery things in her blog. It was such a pleasant surprise! Emily's blog is chock full of gorgeous fashion and entertaining observations, so I highly recommend adding it to your blog roll. Oh, and she's incredibly lovely! You can read her post right here.

Then today the beautiful and ever so lovely Alix Rose posted an interview with me on her blog! My whole Alix Rose experience has been a real honour and a privilege for me, because not only were the questions interesting and fun to answer, but Alix is also someone who I greatly admire. I always enjoy reading her blog, and look forward to hearing her perspective on current trends. She is also one of the nicest people in the blogosphere! You can read the interview here.

I don't mean to gush, but I just wanted to thank Emily, Alix and YOU, my dear friends. When I first decided to start making jewellery and blogging about it, I was terrified. I was worried that:

a. No one would read it

or, even worse,

b. People would read it, but wouldn't like it. Or that they wouldn't like my jewellery.

But everyone has been so incredibly kind and supportive. And I am so grateful. So, thank you for taking the time to read this. It really means a lot to me.

I hope your week is going well. And if it's not, at least it's almost the weekend!

Much, much love,

Frankie
