no more monday blues

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 here [...]

Guess I spoke too soon about being able to return to regular blogging. My son fell ill again with a nasty viral fever that got us all worried. We were all focused on getting him better so that we can go off for our family holiday this erhmmm, friday. Yeap, so we are off to [...]

Not that Singapore has 4 distinct seasons to speak about but spring cleaning has finally struck home. Went completely bonkers preparing items for destash (oh the work! checking to make sure they are worthy of a new home, counting to repack them in ‘desirable’ quantities, costing, snapping pictures, listing… GAH) and decided to do a [...]

Weekend’s here. And not a moment too soon. I had a reasonably productive week and for that I am glad. I’ve gotten some new items done up and am hoping to list them over the weekend. Watch for them!
Meantime, aren’t these labradorite onion briolettes simply stunning?! The blue flashes on this batch is amazing. *heart*

etsy shopping!
Busy loading the store in preparation for Valentine’s. It’s creeping up on us… really. It almost feels like Christmas has only just passed. In any case, a couple of items are marked down, left with one item in stock or priced at a steal. They make lovely gifts if I may so, especially the [...]

As 2010 rolls in, we’ve taken Sparkle Thots offline. As we had mentioned earlier, we’re doing a major overhaul of the site’s backend and hope to return with a streamlined version soon. Meantime, our shop urls now redirect to our Etsy shop where fresh new items can be found alongside our popular Ribbons ring.
(Please [...]

You do know that our Etsy store is still being updated with new goodies right? And that the 30% storewide sale is still on at our [...]

Ribbons ring was featured in the Etsy Stocking Stuffer holiday guide! Too bad I was out and did not manage to catch it in real life. But on the plus side, it meant more hits and more sales.
Off now to handwrap, twist, shape and hammer away at the rings. The first round of [...]
