What's In Your Shopping Bag?

It's the start of a new month (March!), did you buy anything last weekend or today? For me I just got this awesome set of paintings from Dialmformichele on Etsy.

Here they are! What do you think?

I think they are perfect to grace the cream walls of mine. My hubby & I are building up our collection of paintings & prints on the walls. So far we have 6 prints & 3 paintings. It would be great to have another 3 paintings to match balance out.

What did you buy this week / last weekend?

Stumble Wednesday - Miss Dolly

Stumbled upon these beautiful dolls by JooSweetie last week and I just have to feature and heart them cos they are so pretty. I have my eye on a few. But can't decide which I like best.

Here are my favorites. Which do you like best?

1. Marilyn Kokeshi Doll Necklace
2. Audrey Kokeshi Doll Necklace
3. Little Red Riding Hood Kokeshi Necklace
4. Little Mermaid Kokeshi Doll Necklace

Stumble Wednesday - Marshmallows Frenzy

I have never bought food online, let alone Etsy. However, I stumble upon this lovely candy / confectionery store today on Etsy. It is called VintageConfections.

I love their Valentine's Day selection and their WIDE menu of marshmallows. I have not seen so many different varieties before. How I wish I wish I was either in the States. *drool*

Who says Valentine's Day are for lovers. The candies are so yummy that I would even buy them for myself!

Here are my favorites.

1. Rose petal marshmallows
2. Pink champagne truffles
3. Valentine's Day love note customized fortune cookies
4. Double chocolate toasted coconut marshmallows

Top Sellers - Singapore

A fellow Singaporean Etsy seller sent me a convo with this link! I was so amazed that she actually took the effort to do up a countdown of the top sellers in Singapore and even looking to post more countdowns like the top sellers on Etsy, the top sellers of vintage, supplies, handmade items etc..

.. and I am so blessed to make it to the #13 spot!! Here's the amazing list and her link to find out more.

** speech : I would like to thank my customers for this honor to be in the #13 spot. I will strive to do better next year. ** :D

Look What I Found!! - Featured Etsy Seller

Stumbled upon this Etsy seller when I was just checking out the latest Showcase last week. Her name is Merissa Cherie Hi'ilani Revestir from Hawaii and a proud owner of loveMER. She is the eldest of 5 children (big family like mine!). She is married and has a plant named Curtis (how cute!) She got to know about Etsy from her sister who also have a shop on Etsy.

What caught my eye about her items s is that she uses the chain to create words which is really different and creative! I love the way she uses the different colors of paper as the background which makes her items really pretty & sweet.

Here's one of my favorite, HEART a-blush necklace. Such a sweet name.. Perfect for the coming Valentine's Day.

What's in My Shopping Bag? - 27 Oct 2008

I bought these on Etsy a few weeks ago and they just arrived! These are the awesome quality handmade rubber stamps from Norajane on Etsy!

Norajane's family runs Rubber Stamp Tapestry (www.rubberstamptapestry.com). Each stamp is handmade from start to finish. They specialize rubber stamps mainly in botanical images that can be combined to make one of a kind pieces of artwork. The largest part of their line of stamps are mounted on pegs for ease of use and for a stamping technique they referred to as “component stamping”. Their peg stamps are manufactured with placement lines which is a tool that her mother developed in early 2002 to make component stamping more precise and easy to do.

Here's one of those rubber stamps that I got. It is my favorite! One amazing feature that I love about these stamps are the pegs which are amazingly long as compared to those previous stamps that I bought. The long peg makes it easy to use. The stamp designs are also intricate and made to such great detail that when you use the stamp, these images appear exactly like the stamp.

I have bought many stamps in the past and sometimes when the rubber stamps are not made well, the stamped image appears like a BLOB! This is especially common when designs that have great details. Thus I was amazed and thrilled that these stamps are exactly what I wanted! Beautiful & Well Made! I will definitely be back and recommend them to my friends & family!

Now.. what is in YOUR shopping bag today?

Wedding Craze

In the midst of all my wedding preparation.. I get excited whenever I see anything that is wedding related.. Just list this one.. I love love these 2 Gold and Ivory Satin Lovebirds from cottonbirddesigns. They are simply adorable.. I love the idea of 2 lovebirds getting together saying their vows of holy matrimony.. okay.. I was daydreaming.. Nevertheless, these birds are perfect for cake toppers, ring holders, car decorations or just simply a wedding gift for a couple! I love the vintage lace on the bride bird's head.. Love love laces! I can't wait for my wedding in December!

Wonder if who of my friends can I hint to get me these? *hint hint*
