A day gets better and better when you get what you hoped for. Un petit cadeau by a friend who presents you “a new friend”. Thanks to Martina, known online as “Kamido (Miss Molly)”, today I’m finally in great company with “Sappho”, now “our Sappho”! The blog girl/icon has been turned into a unique brooch, a One Of A Kind jewel since Martina isn’t just a brilliant “paper crafter”, but she’s also a very creative accessory and jewel designer.

Wycon Cosmetics Lip Marker ‘N’ Balm Azalea Pink – review
