At lunchtime, I was strolling around the National Portrait Gallery… well, the shop at least… and just as I was leaving I spotted sparkly things.  Drawn magpie-like to the display, ready to be disappointed by the usual tat that is on offer in museums, I was surprised by some very refreshing, original and pretty jewellery.  There were several displays including Louise Buchan’s miniature teapots, cups and saucers and eclectic cameo’s, stones and lovely colour combinations from Extasia.

I didn’t mention jewellery in my shopping ban now did I!
