Welcome to my blog! I intend to keep you up-to-date with my activities as they relate to Prickly Pear and anything else I get up to that may interest you. For those that don't know Prickly Pear, we are a fun, colourful accessories business. We have a shop on line, we supply the trade and we love our own beach-front shop 'Indigo' on the Mediterranean Coast in Spain, where we are lucky enough to go to work each day!

This is just a tiny taster of our new range. A Gorgeous tan large shoulder bag with ring detail in the softest Italian leather. It will also be available in India green and chocolate brown. I love the
vintage feel fabric lining it is such a good colour tan!

The large scarfs are made of pure linen and come in three great colours. The perfect Spring accessory.

Where did 2010 go?! I simply never caught up with time and so my new year's resolution is to
keep more up to date with my blog! I have been doing so many exciting things and not had time
to tell you about them!

Now I have had a wonderful two weeks rest at our glorious house (our secret get away) in
the mountains behind the north Costa Blanca. About an hour from where we are based.
We had wonderful weather to enjoy lots of long walks in the forests and valleys and lots of logging
to keep the winter fire burning!!

This was my third trip to India but the excitement at arriving in Delhi does not lessen. The heat and humidity hit you like a wet blanket!
Fortunately my arrival was early morning giving me a few hours to adjust. Then my arrival is always greeted with the warm smile and
welcome from Rakesh. Our contact in India. He totally takes care of me and makes my trip run so smoothly. My schedule is always tight
