discover :: packaging for foodies

July 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment

❤ They say the taste test is the most important. True enough. But with food packaged these beautifully, you really can’t help but add brownie points for presentation. I’d like to say that the Japanese have honed the art of food presentation down to a T but these pretty pictures are proof that just about [...]

Following through from yesterday’s experiments in packaging, I went on a search around the world wide web and here are some nicely wrapped up packages. All using the humble brown paper product we call Kraft. Please take time to click on the [...]

Behind the Scenes :: Packaging

July 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Lots to do! Lots of ribbons to tie. Bulk orders tend to get a different treatment around here… Been exploring alternative ways of packaging the jewellery. Especially when there are more than 5 items in the order. A little kraft-ing goes a long way. And MT tape too. Love that stuff. Bring out the rubber [...]

July 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment

❤ (Yes, Quotable Quotes is late today… but… ) Happiness is many things. Amongst the long list right now, is the fact that the shop is now back online. Hurrah! It was a real welcome relief to have it back in one piece. All the data intact. Hoping to list new items (bangles!) tomorrow. That [...]

Floral Mondays :: In search of Calm

July 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment

❤ It was a crazy week that just passed. Fell sick, fever. Made me wonder how the kids manage to have so much energy in them even at 40deg when all I wanted to do at 39deg was curl up in bed the whole day. Then the server went wonkers and a mini-war ensued with [...]

Children — With These Rings

July 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment

❤ I fess… this post is a spin off from my infatuation with rings. I never quite noticed the use of rings in local children / baby photography sessions but I was awed into searching for more after seeing a couple of these. They are meaningful and that taken of premmies really tugged at the [...]

Weddings — Encircle them in Love

July 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment

❤ Given my infatuation with rings and all things wedding, I cannot quite understand why this post is only appearing now. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not getting married (what with two kids?!) nor planning any other wedding but I just love to read about weddings and all the details that go on behind the [...]

❤ I love stuffed animals. Amongst the most commonly found ones in my collection are teddy bears. And while I do have a collection that is more than enough to go around for the entire family, each kiddo has their own collection that seems to be increasing. We’d probably be able to start a farm [...]

Floral Mondays :: Coral Peonies

July 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment

This week I am obsessed with coral peonies. It all started with reading about a wedding planner’s gorgeous use of them as deco in a wedding she had carried out in late May and it set off an insane infatuation with peonies. And not just any peonies but coral peonies. Truth be told, I never [...]
