 Beautiful Grounding crystal necklace by Daughter of the Sun
Inspired by my excitement/anticipation for knowing my new crystal necklace (see above) from Daughter of the Sun is soon to arrive I am dedicating this post to one of my favourite things to collect.... Crystals :)

As a kid my earliest 'wants' in life were a big Amethyst Geode and a big crystal ball. I am still mesmerised by all the beautiful patterns and textures that these natural objects have been formed in, why would you want a diamond when you could have Turquoise, Lapis, Moonstone or Labradorite? Whether you believe in crystal healing or not, they are pretty darn cool aren't they?.

April Sponsors shout out....





For a long time I did not have any sponsors for Moon to Moon as I really didn't want any adverts to detract from the 'vibe' of Moon to Moon. However, I have got so many e-mails from lovely people with awesome shops, blogs, creative talents and businesses that I have decided to give it a go and help generate traffic for others - share the love!!!

So........... 


If you are an artist, musician, blogger or have a business you would like to promote here on Moon to Moon or have any questions please click here to visit the sponsorship page

A couple of years ago I brought my sister an awesome skull ornament from urban outfitters. Since then I have fallen in love with the little guys. So I was pleased about an hour ago when my lovely blogging buddies over at Spell announced their March Competition to win one of the beautiful Halo Skull ornaments.

Although to be in with a better chance of me winning I should probably not be announcing the competition but I just had to share, so get yourselves over to The Spell Blog and enter this awesome give-away.What I would do for this Beauty!!! Painted Skull ornament

Although I am happy I moved jobs, I have had a tough couple of weeks at work, my new ward is extremely intense and unbelievably busy and I feel a little lost and out of sorts at the moment. It is at times like this when I feel the forests calling me, I really have the urge to get out into the countryside and go back to basics, away from the crazy hustle and bustle of city life.

Toast some marshmellows, drink some mulled cider and chat about the meaning of life around a camp fire, Heaven!

Yea, lets all go camping......

 p.s Only 1 day until the full moon give away closes so get your comments in guys

The top picture was one of the first images I found for moon to moon. I had no idea of what or where it was but I instantly fell in love. It is, of course the Eames house, also known as case study house no 8 and is a landmark of modern architecture in L.A.

It is totally different from my usual style but I love this room, even though it is so open it looks so warm and cosy. I would love to curl up on that sofa with the sun shinning in through those big windows...
