Everyone knows about my earring collection – both gathered together over the years and donated by friends from all over the world. It now adorns lampshades around my living room.
But I am delighted to say that earrings are the gift that goes on giving and I have now moved from friends buying me earrings to them commissioning earrings to be made for me.
The latest addition to the collection has just arrived – from our lovely judge, David Johnstone, celebrating the rebranding of the FreeFrom Food Awards. Created for me by Yak Goes Moo. Aren’t they just great? I am sure Yak Goes Moo would be only too happy to create some more for any super keen judges or sponsors out there….. Just check in to her Insta or Facebook pages – or even email her.
And here I am, testing them out….
However, this is not the first time that I have been the happy recipient of specially designed earrings. A couple of years ago Alex G’s cousin, Mario, turned jeweller and created me the most wonderful pair of farfalle earrings – true works of art. To learn exactly how they were made see my Pasta Jeweller post.
The only question now is – where do I find space on the lampshades for the latest arrivals?….

Ha ha, I love them! Excellent. I used to have a similar penchant for large earrings but then I lost them all in a house move once. Goodness where they went, but I hope they are enjoying some dangly outings!

You might need to add a new lamp and shade. And of course, everyone lucky enough to have seen your lampshades…loves em!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Too right – I might… And happy thanksgiving to you too.

I love those earrings! I wonder if she does clipons!
Michelle Berridale Johnson
Not sure about clip-ons – but she is up for making some more for us for selected ‘very special’ people…..
