Tuesday's pick: L'Accent Nou

Hello!
October has been a very sunny month so far but somehow I'm in a winter mood! I can't really explain why I'm drawn to darker images and more moody photos. My pick for this Tuesday is a beautiful shop called L'Accent Nou run by Anastasia. She creates jewelry and decor items from clay & pebbles, and also has photos and cards from her unique illustrations. Some of my favorites:

 Crying bird bowl

 Pebble ring

 Mini bowl

 I love you card

Tibet necklace

You can find more about Anastasia and her work in her blog and facebook page!
