Inchie

Hello Everyone.

Just popping in to post my inchie for this week. At Every Inchie Monday the theme for this week is Jet.


I have chosen a piece of Jet jewellry which is made from stones found on a Whitby beach and made into wonderful things. There is lots on show in Whitby and even an old workshop museum showing just how it used to be worked. Jet was made fashionable by Queen Victoria when her dear husband, Albert died. She wore it all the time.

Hope you have a good day and nice to have you drop in to Jumbled Crafts-thank you

Love Chrissie x

    Great minds think alike. Very pretty. There was a great feature on Countryfile the other week- and do you know in all of my many visits to Whitby I have never noticed the jet! Next time I will have my eyes open :)

    I will sound ignorant but I didn't know what jet was so had to look it up. So not only was it a pretty post but educational for me too. :)

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life.

We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
