My Favorite Etsy Shop - Nanoukiko

I love the organic, simple and warm feeling of the jewelry Natacha makes and sells at Nanoukiko.

I have ordered several items from her and been so pleased with their beauty and comfort, not to mention how fast they came from Canada.

I got one of these woven bracelets and find myself reaching for it all the time. Here it is in Plum.
She has a few braided necklaces with beads, all light and pretty.
And her woven necklaces would be so easy to layer in with several others, adding almost no weight.
She often runs coupon specials so check her shop banner when you visit.

What Inspires Me...Old and New!

I've recently been obsessing over lockets. I used to have an antique one when I was younger and am really excited to see people taking an interest in them again!
I adore this gorgeous antique locket from EHB Antiques
And how beautiful is this embroidered locket from Willow and Quinn?!

This is my version below!
