August 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The weather’s been kind of gloomy over here in supposedly sunny Singapore so its very difficult to restock the Sparkle Thots store as the pictures taken are so WARPED. So that’s on hold. Still, there is going to be a special treat being sent out to all on the mailing list pretty soon, by 31st [...]

No, not the actual food. But the jewelry. Drawing inspiration from the forest, this couple designs a gorgeous line of jewelry that is beautiful because of the clean silhouettes. Although appearing pricey, you do recognise the skill required to make each piece. None of the 3 for $10 sweatshop variety for you. No, most certainly [...]

Was looking through the list of contributors to the Sampler and am absolutely taken by the selection offered by Lizard Press. Never mind the funny (at least to me!) name, their cards are [...]

things are better with a parrott

August 22, 2007 | 1 Comment

Sarah Parrott’s banner says it all. Indeed, things are better with a Parrott. Her etsy store is choc-a-bloc full of amazing illustrations reflecting the seasons. While stuck in tropical Singapore (which is ironically pouring with rain right now…), it is always a welcome thought and sight to see the diversity of nature. As US enters [...]
