<p>This turned out a little more pink than I expected. But still sweet and very &#8216;<a title="Sparkle Thots" href="http://sparklethots.etsy.com" target="_blank">Sparkle Thots</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Sparkle Thots Jewellery by sparklethots, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparklethots/5907620157/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6099/5907620157_3e9c3ddf21_z.jpg" alt="Sparkle Thots Jewellery" width="450" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Sparkle Thots Jewellery by sparklethots, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparklethots/5908179934/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6050/5908179934_4923d9507d_z.jpg" alt="Sparkle Thots Jewellery" width="450" /></a></p>
<p>Was rushing this morning to prep two orders out in today&#8217;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 special day for all. So extra <em>extra</em> special care was taken in packing the order.</p>
<p><a title="Sparkle Thots Jewellery by sparklethots, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparklethots/5907612739/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5151/5907612739_e1be8d21fa_z.jpg" alt="Sparkle Thots Jewellery" width="450" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Sparkle Thots Jewellery by sparklethots, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparklethots/5907610467/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5272/5907610467_cddda5e4ac_z.jpg" alt="Sparkle Thots Jewellery" width="450" /></a></p>
<p>As there were more than the  usual 1-2 items in the package, the packaging varied. Clearly the typical envelope would not cut it. A little gift tag was included for them to write their own personalised message and kraft bags to pack them all in.</p>
<p>I wish both brides would enjoy unwrapping the packages and that their bridesmaids would enjoy the little token specially chosen for them.</p>
<blockquote><p>ps:- A bride planning your wedding?</p>
<ol>
<li>I do stalk multiples of most items i store. Just convo me for details</li>
<li>Note that I am based in Singapore. A minimum of 10 working days is generally required for shipping alone</li>
<li>If you require multiples, do allow time too for crafting your order. Each is custom made on order</li>
<li>Do allow time for communication, discussion and time zone difference. Sometimes, your day is my night. And vice versa</li>
<li>Interested in customising something totally different? I&#8217;m open to new ideas</li>
<li>Price breaks are usually applicable on a minimum of 5 pieces of the same item. Enquire for details.</li>
</ol>
<p>Happy planning your special day!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in Singapore, preparations are underway to spruce up the home for the coming Chinese New Year. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you look at it), things are moving along very well in our household. I&#8217;ve been tardy in decorating and there is nary a bit of festive goodies in the kitchen.</p>
<p>At least I have been on the look out for new clothes but because I started late&#8230; I have not gotten very far in that department. Even worse when I log online and find loads of amazing, charming finds to distract me even further away from my tasks. Like this quaint bowl that begs to be embroidered.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn159/sparklethotssg/embroideredbowl.jpg" alt="" width="400" /></p>
<p>Obviously a showpiece, the concept behind this one is rather charming. The bowl is sold &#8216;naked&#8217; along with an embroidery kit of your choice for you to decorate according to the instructions (in pack). Fun I must say. Though personally, I think at quite a high price.</p>
<p>Available at <a title="Industreal" href="http://www.industreal.it/product/14" target="_blank">Industreal</a>.</p>
