Acquisition!

Straight off my Lust List! Bartered with 2 pairs of earrings!! :D

The lovely maker of this dress, Kasey, kindly agreed to the exchange, and now she's enjoying 2 pairs of MAYA & RUHI off the Etsy shop, and I'm practically dancing around in this little cutie number.

Yes, I am a very happy bunny. :)

And I am this close to getting the red version...

Monthly Giveaway

Amongst a slew of new Baby and Mini Klimts, a whole bunch of these little Bird's Nests are part of my latest shipment to KL -- taking off sometime this week as soon as I am done with the sweat-inducing paperwork. In non-tarnish brass and silver, and a plethora of colours (malachite, amethyst, turquoise, pearl, etc.), though not in this particular one...


This giveaway number is of hemimorphite, which has a rather hypnotic hue of powdery electric blue. You gotta see it to believe it. Hemimorphite is pretty gorgeous. And according to crystal lore, it's an all-round "good luck" stone that lifts the spirits and promotes self-esteem. (Something I seriously lack when it comes to paperwork...)

Just leave a comment at this post if you are interested in receiving these for free! The winner will be announced on September 7th's post, so you have until then to leave your comment... Good luck!

New stuff at Etsy

So far so good. ;) I am looking to keep adding to my Etsy shop.

I figure I really should expand on concepts like how I did with the Chic and Unique hoops, and churn out a few of the Sunburst hoops in a few colours.

This turquoise version is happily hippie chic. I love how it has such a light and airy feeling, yet is so striking.

Next up, possibly malachite and white howlite versions... Watch this space! ;)

New stuff at Etsy

It's been too long since I put up anything new. My bad. Work just keeps getting hijacked by Life. ;S From now on, I am going to stop neglecting my Etsy shop, and try and list something new every week or so.

So to start with, a striking red coral and brass number, wire wrapped in sunburst fashion. Sexy, flirty, and if I so may add, rather rambunctious. Doesn't it just make you wanna head out and have some fun? :)

"The Most Outstanding Sandwich Ever"

That's according to Maya, on her very own recipe: Peanut Butter on White Bread stuffed with Multigrain Seaweed flavoured chips...

Nyes. Foodies, we are not. O_O

Happy Monday!

My Taekwondo Kids

Ruhi receives her Blue-Tip Belt from Teacher Rene in a little ceremonious affair...

Then, there's time for a quick pose for Mummy's camera...

... before getting laced up by Teacher Ryu for some sparring action. Hai-yah!

In other taekwondo news, Maya made it through her Black Belt grading, and will receive her Black Belt (complete with her name embroidered on) and Black Belt uniform in a separate, more elaborate grading ceremony, complete with speeches and demonstrations, in September.
