Rounding up another week…

Today, I had this irritating bee in my bonnet that just refused to leave. So I finally got to work to edit the shop banner. I totally love the new font but apparently, not everyone does. And I must admit, it’s not easy to read. Definitely not the best thing you’d want in a banner.

So I swallowed up my sadness and clicked ‘delete’. Sigh. But the banner has been changed from an old pair of gorgeous carnelian earrings (that have long since sold) to that of the dreamy rose rose gold vermeil. Ahhh… bliss. It has been a long time coming really. You really don’t know how many emails  / convos I field with regards to the earrings (can you remake them / are they still available…).

Hop on over to the shop to sneak a peek at which of the remaining two was finally chosen.

More work… Editing images to be ‘web ready’. A couple of new items listed.

A peek into my stash (part thereof).

And my very pink packing station. (just FYI, I DO have a pair of pink scissors!)

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: (Necklace)

Upcoming… I hope to list this amazing something blue piece later. It’s been sitting here for the longest time. Totally drool-able in reality.

So… I’d see you again next week. Over and out.

This Week…

This week at Sparkle Thots, we literally got a-moving. We’ve moved our little sparklies over to a new place and managed to get most of the things settled. Our first orders prepped in the new place have shipped out. Quite the milestone in our books. There aren’t any delays in shipping times (well, except for Labour Day 1 May and Vesak Day 8 May) right now so do remember to get your orders in soon. Especially if you are aiming towards something special for Mother’s Day. :)

Meantime, we have also been tinkering around a lot more with Instagram. Snapping behind the scenes images. The little bits that go towards getting your goodies out. There’s something about the convenience of smartphones/iphones that make you take lots of random stuff! That and the madness of shifting. But that habit stuck and well, if you are interested in what really goes on before you get your sparkly bling, follow us on Instagram! (sparklethots)

Till the next update, have fun. The weekend’s here. Woot.

 

Bedazzled!

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: (Earrings)

Spent the weekend tinkering around with Swarovski crystals. Some experimental and some for a custom order. All I can say, boy, do the folks behind Swarovski really know what they are doing! A lot of dazzle for something still friendly on the pocket. Shimmer, shine, dazzle your way through dreary days.

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: (Earrings)

My current hot faves are these simple studs. Simple, elegant pieces that are great for everyday wear. They are pocket-friendly and great as stocking stuffers, best friends’ gifts and / or wedding entourages. These round studs are currently available in the above colours but are customisable in just about every shade imaginable. Great fun!

Aren’t these the sweetest stars? *swoons*

To be frank, the shop has had quite a fair bit of new items that have not had their day here on the blog. But I’d just stick to highlighting the REALLY really new items.

Above necklace is a beautiful rose pink hued glass pendant. It looks like rose quartz, but it isn’t. So you get more mileage out of your dollar.

 Joanna’s Treasure is a gorgeous work of nature. Our only druzy pendant available set in silver, it has a delicate inner rim of crystals. I personally select each druzy pendant and this was the best in silver rimming that I could find. I have one more set in gold (brownish-black hues) left. The other two having been sold. So, seriously, grab it while it is still in stock!

Sparkly rings with psychedelic finishes are a great addition to your wardrobe. Throw them on for weekend fun. They spruce up your outfit with a pop of colour and are so much fun. They are set on adjustable ring bases and are great for all ages. Have a favourite colour? Let me know. I’d see if I can hunt them down.

Do drop on by the shop :)

Happy Valentine’s

P2142561The teeniest heart we have in stock!

It’s an overcast weather kind of Valentine’s. Terrible for photoshoot so I’d just leave it as that. A sneak peek into the latest offering we have been meaning to share. A dainty, teeny tiny heart strung on a delicate rope chain. Perfect for layering, suitable for personalisation, great for everyday wear. A barely there kind of piece that you don’t want to remove.

Ruffle Hearts

Anyhow, enough of jewelry. Since I can’t offer it today, I’ve ruffled hearts to share instead. Those on my twitter and instagram (sparklethots) feed would have seen the ruffled hearts from last week. I finally got the elusive last piece to complete the project. A shadowbox styled photoframe. I got this as a nesting set of 4 at Typo (Singapore seems to only have the turquoise and brown wood versions). Anyone know where else to get these sort of frames, tell me.

A pretty easy craft, you’d need approximately 1 hour to complete. Less if you work fast and don’t try to multi-task (*sheepish*).

Ruffle Hearts

You’d need :-

  1. cloth remmants
  2. heart shaped template
  3. scissors
  4. needle and thread (doesn’t matter what colour, cannot be seen)
  5. shadowbox frame

Making Ruffled Hearts -- the how to

What to do :-

  1. cut out your heart base, doesn’t need to be perfect
  2. cut the cloth remmants into approximately 2cm squares (again doesn’t need to be accurate)
  3. pinch the square at the middle, and sew it onto the heart (I like to start at the centre tip)
  4. sew as many or as few as you like, the more you sew the denser the heart
  5. occasionally pause to ‘ruffle’ the sewn squares to see how it is coming along
  6. trim the heart to shape (if it goes ‘off’)
  7. fit it into the shadowbox

Ruffle Hearts

Re the shadowbox… while the stock picture of the Eiffel tower is pretty and all, it just doesn’t go with the heart. I lined the frame with some pretty scrapbook paper instead. :P Scarilege maybe but so much nicer!

Some tips to note :-

Keep an inch around the heart and frame. It works much better this way. Any fabric can be used, I used tee-shirt scraps.

Valentine’s 2012

valentine

Have you gotten used to the fact that it is already 2012? I haven’t. Well, in a way I have. The days have whizzed by, longer than ever and packed to the brim. The children are somewhat settled in school and have fallen into a routine of rousing early and sleeping slightly earlier. School is still pretty much a hit and miss around here. We have our good days and bad. But then, that’s life.

I’ve managed to sneak some time for a couple of new items. Pieces that are perfect for Valentine’s. Yes, it is coming! Do get your orders in early to accommodate the public holidays and postal rush. We definitely do not want to disappoint anyone.

Do drop by the shop soon! More goodies are coming!

Clockwise from top right :-

  1. Leaf Your Mark in Time **
  2. Montana ~ Something Blue
  3. Lofty Ambitions **
  4. Always There For You **

** These items are personalisable! Perfect for letting that special someone know just how treasured they are.

    Blessed Christmas everyone!

    Things have been quieter around here since Christmas rolled along. We have been enjoying the time off work and spending it with family. We have feasted and feasted and feasted. I think we are just about done with celebrations. We have got a whole series of gatherings lined up till the new year and have been enjoying each session with relish. Always good to meet with old friends (and new).

    Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: Handstamped Perfection

    We’ve also been prepping for a whole new series to launch come January (*gulp* just a couple more days!). We have acquired a new metal stamp set and are totally in love with the whimsical font! I’ve been stamping anything and everything. And must say, I am rather pleased with the results.

    Lil charmers of dainty clouds in both silver and gold plating are coming your way. Great as a personalised add-on tag or match it with other pendant drops. Great fun. A lovely personalised touch that’s awesome for Valentine’s, anniversaries or birthdays, heck, all year round.

    Meantime, the shop‘s still open. We hope to see you again soon.
