Better late than never, as they say.
We went to Bakewell today and finally bought Julia’s birthday present. We’d originally gone to the retail park just off the M1, then Matlock Bath, and finally Bakewell. Derbyshire seemed quite busy, with several Christmas events taking place.
We eventually ended up in a very nice jeweller’s shop and selected the pendant and chain in the main picture. It’s forget-me-nots in a silver mount. I’m not sure what the clear stuff is – it’s tempting to call it crystal but it’s probably some sort of plastic. This is the 21st century, after all, and it was very reasonably priced.
To sum up – Julia likes it, it looks good and it wasn’t expensive. What’s not to like?
When we left the shop they gave us a crystal angel decoration to celebrate their 15 years in business in Bakewell.
If you happen to be in Bakewell they are in Water Street and open from 10.00 until 5.00.

They have a great selection of stock and I could have bought more, but Julia decided to be economical.
That is a beautiful pendant for Julia, Quercus. A good find!
I knew we’d find something if we kept looking. I’ve also sorted the Christmas presents now – thanks to ebay. 🙂
A very good choice.
She chose it, all I did was drive and pay. 🙂
That is a skill in itself.
🙂 That’s what I keep telling her.
Beautiful!
The shop was full of lovely stuff. 🙂
Good choice, Quercus. Let me know if you have any Christmas inspiration. 🙂
I’ve been looking for a specific piece of jewellery for her for a couple of months and a piece just turned up. If that hadn’t happened I was going to start panicking this weekend.
Much relief, then 🙂
Yes, it is. Sorry I can’t provide more inspiration. 🙂
It looks very pretty, I’m sure she was delighted!
She seems happy. Just need to think of Christmas now!
I’m trying hard not too lol
🙂
It’s a pretty necklace. I hope she enjoys it for a long time!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, as I often say whilst gazing into the mirror. 🙂
it is beautiful.. I am sure she will love it 🙂
🙂
What a beautiful pendant!
Better late than ever is right! Beautiful blue, blue, blue. Love it!
Now all I need is a Christmas present!
