Too Much Deliberation

Last week, I was agonising over which new bag to get.
I'm looking for a bag that's functional, not too structured
(one that has a soft-ish slouchy feel) but still stylish
and a little bohemian at the same time. Tall order for
a bag. And because I'm petite, I can't carry a bag that's
too big even though large bags are all the rage.

I narrowed it down to the following :
Foley+Corinna mid city tote, Loeffler Randall Nora satchel,
Rebecca Minkoff's Nikki and Botkie's James Hobo.


So after badgering my husband for quite a bit, I finally
decided to get a Foley+Corinna one in Gunmetal (it's
a rare colour and being Spring now, the new models
are all bright!). I managed to find one after some searching
online only for it to be sold.
That just goes to show that sometimes you've just got to
make a quick decision, you can't have it all (ie. slouchy,classic,
bohemian, functional all in one) !

Yes, I am working on new items !

It has been a rather trying few months for me and
it doesn't look look like I'm getting any better at lugging
my jewellery supplies to and from Singapore :-)

As some of you may already know, I haven't been living at
home since my husband's new job posting overseas. This has
meant that I've had to do replenshing, ordering, forecasting
and making jewellery in 2 places so that when I do go home
to visit, I can actually work at it too (I'm addicted to this job!).

Of course, what has ensued is a mess! What I want to make
here, I've left at home and vice versa. Yes, yes, I do plan but
plans are only that...plans. There have been many moments when
I've felt inspired only to be let down by the fact that I've left
that particular component that I need in the other place.
There's also the detailed planning that needs to be done so that
my mum can help me send off items that have been ordered. I've got
to make sure there is enough stock, envelopes, boxes etc.
And then, complications also arise when I make some items and take
photos of them hoping to load them up onto the website only to realise
that I've forgotten to transfer them over to my laptop!

OK, so enough griping.
For all of you who have been so patient with me, thank you! I
will be putting up new items (with more to come in the following
weeks) for my Summer collection soon...in the next 2 days or so.

Here's a sneak peek at what's in store :

New Items At Retail Therapy

I've just managed to drop off some more new items for
Retail Therapy. Quite a number of them include my
handmade charms.


Secret Garden Bracelet
This happens to be a personal favourite of mine. The more
charms the merrier! I was somewhat reluctant to part with
it.




Angels of Love Bracelet




Springtime Flight Necklace

A Big Thank You !

I'd like to shout out a big thank you to all those who
came down to support me either for the Trixilini
bespoke session on Friday and/or the fash-bash event
on Saturday. It was a good chance for me to meet you
and I really appreciated your presence. I enjoyed meeting
some of you...finally, instead of merely knowing you by
name.

Once again, THANK YOU !

Bespoke Session

I'm gearing up for the bespoke session at Trixilini this coming
Friday, 17 April.
Titled `Eden Revisited', I'll be showcasing a variety of botanical
and love themed charms which you can mix and match to create
your own designer bracelet or necklace.


Here's a preview of what's available :






Some design ideas :



I'll be there from 12-3pm and 5-7pm. Hope to see you there !

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Blessed Easter ! 

I just realised I have not had an easter egg in ages !

Then again, Easter isn't really about easter eggs is it?

It is a marvellous thought when you consider how all

over the world, Christians are celebrating the resurrection

of Jesus Christ. But more than just mere remembrance,

it's about the hope and restoration we have and we are

then asked to bring.

Shalom

Keep 18 April Free

Yay! I've been invited to participate in the upcoming fash bash event!

Fash Bash is not the usual run-of-the-mill flea market but many indie
designers will be showcasing their work ! If you're into vintage clothing
or unique handmade jewellery, you wouldn't want to miss this event.

I will be unveiling new designs that aren't available in the shops as well
as offering great discounts on older designs.

Hope to see you there :-)
