I wrote your name upon the back of my hand,slept upon it, then I woke up with it backwards on my face, reading forwards from my mirror to my heart.

When you are stuck at home with a cold in 30 degree weather, the last thing you want to do is homework. Unless of course, you are Lisa Simpson or an 11 year old super kid doing year 10 coursework (true story...).
Yesterday, I spent the day at home struck down by a case of the sniffles, lazing around, avoiding the homework stack. The day seemed extra long and the morning was bleak. Until, thank the heavens, actually- Australia Post- a package landed in my mailbox. Inside was an immaculately wrapped necklace by The Empress Dowager's New Jewels (handmade and designed the Likkle Girl!).
It most definitely fills the gap in my wardrobe for a statement necklace, spicing up not only my most simple of tees but adding an interesting layer to busy outfits as well. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Likkle Girl for injecting the sunshine into my day.
