Eternal Girl - Giveaway - Paisley Design Necklace

"Eternal Girl" is the female version of a term used in mythology to describe a child-like being craving boundless freedom.  It seemed very fitting then for Julia Toussaint  to name her shop Eternal Girl  as she associates her artwork with the undying need to reach out and extend her limitations through love and life.

 Julia's inspiration came from Henna & Mehndi art, which is derived from Middle Eastern cultures. She was drawing a lot of henna inspired designs and then decided to incorporate them into jewelry, and her creations have been evolving ever since. 
She purchased some necklace supplies and began experimenting and in 2012  after about a year of making necklaces as gifts, her friends encouraged her to sell them on-line. 

Julia is sponsoring this beautiful Paisley Design Necklace valued at $18 (€13) which features a creative floral Paisley design. Each hand-drawn necklace is created with a unique, henna inspired pattern. In henna tradition, paisleys represent good luck. The image is secured in an antique styled bronze pendant, with a round glass covering and comes with a bronze metal chain, your choice of length.  The winner will be chosen by Rafflecopter on the 1st August

 Giveaway is open Worldwide

Stroll through Cahuzac-sur-Vere

Funny how the weather changes peoples attitudes, lots of dour faces this morning as we strolled through the car boot sale, it was quite chilly and the vendors were all unhappy, especially the ones who turned up wearing just shorts and T's and stood stomping their feet in the attempt to get warm. For the first time in a very long time I didn't find anything I wanted to buy. So amused myself by finding a few things to take pics off.

Happy Sunday 

 Meet the Vendors

 Chucky's little sister perhaps!

Fancy a spin

 Your hat looks stupid, shut up have you seen yours?

You have been warned

 Seen the day I would wear these

 Liar Liar

I had to walk past these, they really stank
