It’s been a little while, my friends, since I put together a decent link round-up. So much splendid content, so little time (and brain power).
I’ve also been enjoying some lovely autumnal things; seasonal jewellery (check out my beautiful bear necklace above: SQUEE), crunchy leaves, lentil soup. Autumn is the month I am most me. And as N says, October is my Halloween Advent.
Anyhoo, let’s get to some links shall we? There are some rather good ones here, and they are in plentiful supply after my extended break. I hope you enjoy.
