On My Lust List

Oooh, I like the serious-ness of it all. No-nonsense, void of logo, and totally handmade and marketed by a decidedly private "Danish one-woman company", at her Etsy shop valhallabrooklyn. The whole Credibility thing just gives me goose-bumps...

The 5-pocket Willow bag in graphite... I SO want!

It's not all that inexpensive. This one is going for USD319 (not including shipping). But I like the fact that you're actually paying for good leather and dedicated workmanship here. And that the bulk of the retail price is not toward a little brass logo fastened onto the front of the bag solely for attention/fabulous-ness.

Plus, it's just so goddamned gorgeous...! :)

Scenes from Salzburg

Salzburg is out-of-this-world pretty. With the Christmas markets in full swing, it was an absolute Winter Wonderland.

But it was cold...

...really cold.

So here's Dad helping Maya with her ice skates.

And here's Ruhi overdosing on bratwurst.

And, for good measure, here's me freezing.

Rings made out of old spoons!

These lovelies are the handiwork of artisan Dan Kemp at dankartistry, who believes that every thing has a story to tell, and in the cause for upcycling them. You can even send him your own spoon for him to turn into wearable heirlooms... :)

New Stuff - Crochet Earrings

OK, I must admit: these are not my doing. My mother is responsible for these fabulously hippie chic crochet earrings. Yup, she's a crocheter too. Fact is, she taught me how to crochet when I was 9.

They're big and light, delicate and dramatic. Very cool...

These aren't up for sale as yet. Still in fairly experimental stages...

Happy Monday!

December 2010 Giveaway Result

And finally, here we are. So sorry it has taken me this disgustingly long to get round to this folks. But here is Ruhi, very happily doing the honours. She's settled nicely into Primary school, and displaying all kinds of Big Girl sensibilities. So much so that I'm thinking "Where has my Bobo gone?"

Sorry, I digress.

And the winner is...

Congratulations, dy88! Please email me your mailing address, and your prize will be on its way! :)

Thank you so much everyone for playing! It has been really good fun. Hope to see you around the blog AND at next month's Giveaway! (I promise things will be on time. :))

Argh!

A thousand apologies for my absolute tardiness at announcing the winner of the Monthly Giveaway.

I am back from a month-long hol, and struggling to get back into the swing of things - with jet lag, kids in the new school year, suitcases to unpack, and now, a flu-ed out Ruhi. Meanwhile I am keeping sane with a couple of commissions, and some crocheting here and there. Thank gawd for being able to craft!

So please do bear with me. As soon as I get my act together, the winner will be announced. Thanks, folks!
