Summer has come to Vancouver two days ago, hooray! It was really sunny, and warm, and the sky was blue. We spent good time sitting on the grass and looking at rear dandelions. I always wonder how Anna does it... She leaves on another side of the planet from us, but her wonderful home decoration collections often reflect the seasons and weather that we have here! 

I hope your summer is on its way too!

Jewellery. The bigger the better?

This is just a small fun post with some interesting jewellery :) It origins from the discussion that took place under this blog post. It might sound funny if I write that one is the prettier the bigger and heavier jewellery she wears. However, there were times when this statement made sense. The are places on this planet that it still does!

What do you think about big and heavy jewellery? Is it true that the bigger the better?
