Today I received one of the sweetest emails. It was regarding a surprise that I cannot share too much of. All I can say is that it warmed my heart. I sure hope E can pull it off. It certainly sounds like a lovely surprise. So in honour of all the wonderful heartfelt sentiments that [...]

Ask . Believe . Receive
Love this print available at Colorbee on Etsy.
Been busy playing the accidental tourist since Saturday, bringing the terrible two kiddos on a local educational journey. It has been an interesting journey learning more about the small island we call home but goodness, I am exhausted. Most orders have shipped out except [...]

Ooh la la Paris
I’ve never been to Paris, nor went anywhere remotely near. But images of the Eiffel Tower and assorted romantic notions dominate my thoughts. The Eiffel Tower always conjures up images of lovers in, well, love and of proposals on bended knee at the top. The husband, however, as other memories.
He did have [...]

Being mummy entails fixing up small random oddities. Like the fire engine Lego wannabe. I’m rather impressed with the detail of this set though. Every little part had to be fit together. The ‘trunk’ even opens to allow access the fire-fighting tools!

Still struggling to get the best photo set up in the work room. It [...]

If you are following @sparklethots on twitter, you would have realised that I was busy shifting back to the work room. It is great to be 100% back at work in the study cum office room. Besides allowing me to simply close the door on the mess of beads, it is great to not have [...]

So which do you prefer? One pearl, two different ‘companions’. Both equally beautiful. Ok, fine. I am biased.
Side note: don’t you absolutely hate it when the colour doesn’t appear quite right? Driving me crazy. Sigh. Anyhow, second pair is now available at our official store.

Paris ~ The City of Romance
One look at the Eiffel Tower and images of Paris, of romance come to mind. It was love at first sight too for these earrings. Goldplated earstuds of the Eiffel Tower measuring in at 30MM x 10MM are lovely to adorn your ears. Comes with plastic earstoppers for a secure [...]

Have new items to update but the pictures look horrid. Except for a couple that made the cut, the vast majority aren’t quite there. Far from it. *sigh* I wish the weather turns. I much prefer natural light. Not to mention it is a whole different ballgame when taking otherwise.
Above piece, Mocha — Treasures from [...]

I figure that a good many people are not quite enjoying today. The children have gone back to school which probably meant heavier traffic, sleepy-eyed children (and likely their parents!) readjusting to the school routine. The humdrum continues. So let’s try to put a spring in our step with this beautifully curated treasury. It most [...]

burnt week

Seriously, and quite literally, burnt. Baby girl has been running a temperature since Monday and we are all pooped from dealing with the mandatory crankiness not to mention, soiled diapers. The in-laws have been a great help in taking older brother J off our hands in the day so that we are still, erhmm, sane. [...]
