While you're all stinkin' hot...

Hello lovelies, I thought I'd bring you a little something to cool you down while sweltering in warm July temperatures (U.S. readers, at least!)

This was the sight that greeted me as I hopped in to start up my car last Thursday:


And on my side window, lovely little ice crystals looking very ethereal.

Here in Melbourne, we have been having some very chilly mornings, but thankfully these result in nice mild days, with even an odd spot of sun appearing here and there! I enjoy the differing seasons, which is a great thing, considering Melbourne is renowned for having "four seasons in one day!"

On a different note, after my last post on shopping, I wanted to share with you a few specimens of cute jewellery I found on etsy.com by a Christian jewellery artist. The shop is called ForTheCrossJewelery (all one word). She's off camping for the week, so her store is closed until July 17th, but you can still see some of her gorgeous work by clicking on the Sales link down the side. Her profile is also on there, and is definitely worth a read!

But here are some of my favourites from ForTheCross:

Gold Finger - Grannys Jewelry Box Ring.

Countess ChiChi, if you're listening, this one's for you!
Tres chic!


Aqua and Copper Vintage Flower Earrings!

Oh so sweet!











Ivory Rose- another head-turner!



























Gettin' Squirrelly- Acorn Earrings.

Oh, I could go on, but it's best if you see for yourselves! Here's the link: ForTheCrossJewelery
Enjoy your sunshine!

P.S. Please have a look at my new Aussie food blog, too: Downunder Kitchen!

Thanks for showing us the ice. I don't like ice in the winter because it shuts things down and is so dangerous. But I felt a chill when I read your post. Now I can go out into the heat here. We had a little rain and it is a little milder temperature wise but not cooler because of the humidity that came with the rain.
I like the earrings. I make jewelry too so am always interested to see other's designs.

Beautiful jewelry. Sorry about the ice. We've been having thunder storms and the temperature is in the
80's, now how weird is that.

Ooooo, LOVE that jewelry!!! Will definitely pop over to Etsy and check it out!!

Thanks for your comment on my blog today. I've heard of that book before, but never read it. I've spent enough mornings listening to Nancy Leigh DeMoss over at Revive Our Hearts Radio Ministry that I've come to a new understanding of what "proper care and feeding" of a husband means for a godly wife! The True Woman Makeover Study I hosted on my blog this summer really opened my eyes. We still experience some dry spells (ahem!), but they're fewer and further between; I've gotten much better at delighting in serving him, even when it's difficult.
