NAUTICAL + STRAWBERRIES

Baubles and trinkets are not my thing as I only tend to lose or misplace them. Non-adjustable rings are a big no-no as they are usually available in a standard size of 7.5 (I'm a size 4 wth.). However, this simple bracelet from Amanda Marie (check her out on Etsy or Facebook) is a neat idea. The focal point's not a huge charm instead a simple nautical knot made by the same string used in the entire bracelet. Hmm.. Something to add on my DIY list.

Sorry people, I was craving for strawberries hence, my succeeding posts may be inspired by this fruit. *wink *wink
So please do bear with me.

Also, yesterday afternoon, in lieu of Father's Day, I made Tina's (My Life as a Mrs.) take on the pineapple strawberry and mint white wine sangria.
