Tomorrow’s a public holiday here in Singapore and we’ve gotten all paid orders dropped off at the post office earlier today. They’d be on their way over to you shortly, so hang in there for the ride.

I’ve been quite busy with your orders (thankyouverymuch!) and am completely blown away by your love for the simple elegant Infinity necklaces. I’ve received a couple of requests for them to be made as a bracelet instead. So much so I’m actually stocking both the necklace and the bracelet in store now. Only ordered a limited quantity in gold and definitely running low.

And here’s a sneak peek at a few new pieces that will be coming your way soon. Clean, light and just about perfect for everyday wear. Great for casual weekends, for days spent chasing kids. Pretty much I spend my days!

My week in 8 snapshots :-

This past week, the kids were all silly. J did his work and K did some cuddling. The boy brought home a pamphlet re primary school registration. This lil big boy is going to primary school! Still a baby as far as I am concerned. The sunsets were spectacular (the weather stifling), the unexpected cafe hopping lovely and the company crazy fun.

Time

Just like that we are in May. Just like that almost two months have passed us by. Sorry about that. Well, not entirely sorry to be frank. I’ve been busy on the home front. Busy getting busy, busy getting my craft on. I started on Project Life this year and am truly enjoying the ride. It’s been nice assembling the pieces, getting tactile with the various bits. It’s pretty enticing and quite nice to just thumb through the pages so far. And would you believe it, we are on week 20 now. TWENTY. The year is flying by.

On the Sparkle Thots’ front, I’ve still been working on your orders. I’ve had the opportunity to work with brides, and to work with the loveliest of customers prepping special surprises and thoughtful gifts for their loved ones. I’ve tried hard to stick to the 3 day turnaround, and by and large, I think I met it. Shipping times however, appear to be slightly longer these days. With most agencies going the way of the 5 day work week. Yay to family time, boo to slower speeds. But I guess, the good things are always worth the wait.

I’ve retired a lovely ring and have listed a new Infinity necklace in its place. It is a modern day classic in my opinion and is available in both silver and gold. All parts will be 925 silver or goldfilled / vermeil. Such designs are made to last and the materials, with proper care, will allow it to retain it’s original shine. (Silver to come soon)

And here’s a roundup of the highlights of the week just past. Just in case you thought I’ve just been idontknow, sleeping the days away.
