This turned out a little more pink than I expected. But still sweet and very ‘Sparkle Thots‘. Was rushing this morning to prep two orders out in today’s shipment. They were for two different brides (US and UK) and they had each selected jewelry pieces to gift to their bridesmaids. A lovely thought, and a [...]

Been a while since I last featured a treasury. I was happily browsing when I stumbled upon this particular one in which we were featured. It was a delight really. Great company we are in too!

Recently the field expanded (or became even more focused?) to be local (SG) indie mum-crafter friends. And for this Black Friday – Cyber Monday weekend, I’m excited and honoured to highlight their shops. Stay tuned for first picks via [...]

Oh what a night! Diamond Wannabe got featured on Etsy’s Frontpage late last night and I had such a thrill watching the hits jump. It was a dream come true. Especially when I was in the awesome company handpicked by Ginger of Msbelle (you should check her out too!) She always makes the loveliest treasuries. [...]

I just stumbled upon these beautiful photos from a styled shoot by Simply Bloom Photography. You can tell I’m hopelessly in love with these. The dreamy, ethereal beauty; romantic notions… oh how I wish I could get her to photograph styled shoots for Sparkle Thots. Check out the rest of her photos of the shoot [...]
