Ok, could not resist this other treasury either. Its full of amazing colours that just shout SPRING! Chosen by Iragrant, this Sophie Knot dress for kids especially grabs my eye. Of course it could be the cute young girl chosen to model that got my attention. But with those lovely eyes peeking at you over [...]

treasury blues

April 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Although I love browsing through treasuries and using the poster sketch tool on Etsy, I have not been successful in cinching one of my own. Still that does not stop me from pouring through page after page of visual delight. After all, these treasuries are made by individuals, and all have such a great eye [...]

It was an amazing day last Saturday when we packed our bags and carted our way down to Poppy. We got somewhat lost, making a wrong turn. It was fun though, exploring the quaint shops along the way. Familiar names like Pantry Magic and Da Paolo got us ooh-ing a little. But we had a [...]

DYK :: shipping

April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Did You Know? Shipping with Sparkle Thots means a couple of things. It means making sure your items are suitably packed in ziplocks and carefully placed in bubble lined envelopes before being sent off for shipping. It also means checking (somewhat paranoid) that the name and address written is correct. On both the slip and [...]

the little odds and ends

April 25, 2008 | 1 Comment

The boxes of goodies have been packed. All three stacked in a row. One for bracelets, one for necklaces and one for earrings. The bounty looks good. And it is with a smile I start at the table decor. Which rack to bring? I love them all. Halfway through it dawned on me that there [...]

building a treasure nest

April 24, 2008 | 1 Comment

Am a little slow on the weddings series but this post should make up for some lost time. While surfing around Etsy, I stumbled upon Paloma’s Nest. A quaint lil shop from the heart of Texas, it is full of serene white porcelain pieces that are at once homely and peaceful. What first caught my [...]

April 23, 2008 | 1 Comment

Even though I do not have the luxury of creating an inspiration board, I create one virtually. Through the internet that is. Over time the number of blogs I have in my subscription is amazing. It currently stands at 122. More are added on a weekly basis! All together, they create such a desire to [...]
