Where does the time go?!

Hi everyone,

Same old, same old - how rubbish of me not to keep up with my blog, but seriously where does the time go?! I have all these good intentions but they never seem to happen! Anyway, it's the first of August so being a Yorkshire lass - Happy Yorkshire Day! Never heard of it - neither had I until this morning when Chris Moyles mentioned it on his show! I've just checked on Wikipedia so here's a bit of history, now go and educate yourself!!

Yorkshire Day is celebrated on 1 August to promote the historic English county of Yorkshire. It was celebrated in 1975, by the Yorkshire Ridings Society, initially in Beverley, as "protest movement against the Local Government re-organisation of 1974", The date alludes to the Battle of Minden, and also the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, for which a Yorkshire MP, William Wilberforce, had campaigned.[1][2]

Right, now you've learnt something new! Maybe not, but anyway!
Just been checking out the new jewellery trends for Autumn/Winter this morning, seeing what we should be buying for the upcoming seasons, bit of a mixed bag really.

Forties fashion is back in a big way this season and as a result so are pearls!! At Palenque we've always been a bit of a fan of the good old pearl and we've got a fantastic collection for you to look at http://www.palenquejewellery.co.uk/necklaces/pearl.html . Why not experiment with layers of pearls for more of a statement look - might have a go at that today!
