Cloud (online) storage COPY

I am cleaning up my laptop, it's about to burst... I have a 1 TB external drive where I store my data I don't frequently use. But in a month or so I'll be on the move again and I want to travel as light as possible. Some years ago I installed Dropbox, but I only used it once to receive a map with photos.

This week I installed Copy with at least 15 GB free storage while Dropbox offers 2GB.
When you invite a friend to register you both get 5 GB extra! For signing up use this link ;-) https://copy.com/?r=6sSaM0

Cloud storage makes it easy for me to have my private and jewelry making photos accessible anywhere I am. It saves me extra space on my laptop and in my luggage, plus I don't have to worry about losing my photos & documents. It's already working for me, I feel much 'lighter' :-)

Sea finds & Lovers Ice cream

Sea glass was everywhere! The best spot on Curacao is near Jan Thiel beach (drive all the way to the rotonde. On the left you see the sea and a fence. Walk towards the sea)

One little pink heart and a sea glass fish.

I am not an ice cream lover, bit I looove Lovers Ice cream. No, not because of the name (don't I? ;-), but because it didn't make me nauteous. It's soft, creamy and not too sweet. If you get the chance, try it!

Chinese horoscope Summer necklace

                   

Once upon a time there was a little Monkey, a Rabbit and an Oxe and they went on Summer-Summer-Summer holiday to the tropics. They brought their beading stuff with them and made their Summer necklaces made of wood, Jade and Turquoise.
For the photoshoot they picked the coconuts themselves. For the last ones to pick the little Monkey climbed on Oxe's shoulder and fell... But except for some bruises (and some little Monkey tears) the coconut-mission was safe and successful. They picked and plucked until de coconut tree was totally nut-free. They asked Tommy and Wurmi to show the world their Summer necklaces and here they are....
The 3 of them were very happy and danced at the Pondjesbrug until they got sleepy and thirsty. So they went home and opened the coconuts one by one and quenched their thirst by drinking the coconut water. It was so refreshing, it was nature's gold! With droopy eyes they went to bed and dreamed about how much luck and prosperity the Summer necklaces would bring little Monkey, Rabbit and Oxe ...

Sea treasures from the Caribbean

I spent the Summer in the Caribbean and found beautiful little dead coral at the beach.

To save sea life it's not allowed to bring any coral back home. 

But I asked around and smaller finds (dead) will be tolerated at the customs.

For larger pieces you will need a receipt from the store to show to customs, 

otherwise there's a chance you have to pay a fine -and- they will confiscate the piece.

One day these Caribbean jewels will be wearable! ;-)

The heart of coral is for my little nephew. And how funny is the elephant's foot!

Lots of Love from Cala del Moral

Sibling Pendants

Now, look at this...
My neo-vintage pendant and Hanut Singh's pendant...
The form, the colour of the stone...
Do you see what I see?
