Snagged a Treasury - Fairy Tales

Just after I updated my blog with an Etsy treasury which included my hedgehog necklace! I managed to snag a treasury of my own!! :D Hurray!

What should I do.. what should I do... I know! In view of my latest necklace, I decided to do a fairytale theme treasury. Can you guess what are the fairy tales that are featured in my treasury?



From the above, here are some of my favorites.
  1. Peas Porridge Set of 4 yellow bowls - by LovinCup
    These bowls look so yummy to hold my porridge. I love the imprinted letters and make them fun to look at while eating my porridge.

  2. Snow White Pocket Mirror - by lely
    This is a beautiful and different interpretation of Snow White. Whenever people think of Snow White, they would naturally think of the Disney version where there is short hair lady with fair skin, wears a red ribbon headband and has a dress that's blue, red and yellow. This version is more delicate and vulnerable.


  3. Little Red Riding Hood Necklace - by Me!
    Last but not least, my latest favorite, a whimsical little red riding hood charm necklace! I simply adorable this charm. I was very blessed to stumbled upon this lovely charm that was not even "priced" when I bought them :)

Snagged a Treasury - A for Apples!

I just snagged a Treasury! And in honor of my latest necklace.. I have decided to do a Treasury full of apples! I love apples since when I was really young.. I guess it's because a. Apple is always the first one that you learn when you are learning about the alphabet, b. My Chinese / Mandarin name is inspired by Apples. 丽苹 literally means beautiful apple :) and c. they are usually more yummy than pears and lot more crunchy than bananas and sweeter than oranges... Hope that's enough reason to love them! Here's my treasury!


I think I have done a apple theme treasury before but at that time, I had red apples vs green ones. This time, I decided to pick mainly red apples. From the above selection, the following are my favorites.
  1. Zakka Apple Trinket Box by Wunderkind
    - I love the cute apple shape box that allows me to keep all knick knacks. It also beautifies the place like a cute ornament. It is available in RED or GREEN.
  2. Custom Apple Teacher Dish by thebrickkiln
    - I love this cute dish that is a perfect gift for any teachers or even colleagues. I can imagine putting my paper clips and other small stationery items on it! You can even custom it by indicating your receiver's name!

  3. Silver Red Delicious Apple Silhouette Necklace by ANORIGINALJEWELRY
    - I love the matte finish on this simple yet chic apple pendant. It's a perfect for everyday wear. Love it!

  4. Red Apple Necklace by ME!
    - I love the bling bling apple that glitters. It stands out with no matter what I wear. Definitely a conversation starter or attention stealer! :P I love it so much that I decided to make one for myself!

Snagged a Treasury - Plum Blossoms

I snagged a treasury! It's been a while but I am just at the right place at the right time :) The theme of my latest Treasury is Plum Blossoms. I am inspired by the coming of spring with all those flowers blooming and also cos I just came back from Japan :) I didn't want to do a cherry blossom one cos I think I have done that theme before.

So check out my latest treasury...........



Out of my selection, here's my favorite. It's this cute little bunny called Plum by Danielleorama. I love the striking rich purple color and the cute ears that are made from beautiful Japanese fabric with blossoms! The description of the listing is also really adorable. Little Plum loves all things Japanese and is currently studying Kanji (one component of the Japanese language whose characters are written the same way as Chinese ones).

Here's showcasing my Plum Blossom necklace which I included in the treasury above. The richness of the plum color Swarovski faceted crystal makes a beautiful focal piece with the cutest blossom at the side.

Treasury West - V E S P A

It's the first time snagging a treasury in Treasury West.. I was there just in time.. The title of my Treasury is VESPA. Basically a collection & selection of vespa / scooters in different medium on Etsy. Here's what the whole treasury looks like. I love vespas and I think they have this vintage feel and are very cute.. and looks easy to ride. (although I have not rode on one before).



In the collection showcase on my Treasury. The following 3 items are my favorites and caught my eye.

1) Vespa Card by AJKArtistry - The Vespa on this card looks so real and has a 3-D effect which makes it so cool and cute! The photo taken was also very clear as you can see the details on the Vespa.

2) Vespa Scrabble Tile pendant by WordDesigns40 - I love the black & white look of the pendant and really makes the vespa pop from the jet black background.

3) Sweet Vespa Necklace by ME - I love this Vespa charm as it is a solid one with details all round (front & back). By matching it with a dainty pink freshwater pearl, it brings out the femininity of the masculine vehicle.

I love all the hearts that I have selected.... Here's 2 of my favorites.
  1. Plum Heart by JDWolfePottery
    I have always love all the tiny heart bowls! They come in lots of colors.. plum, blue and yellow... And the most amazing thing is that the Plum Heart was sold the very day this treasury was listed!! *Hurray* I always feel excited and happy whenever the items I select in Treasury gets SOLD :)
  2. Green Lovebug by adamsonglass
    This cute lovebug caught my eye when I was scouting for green hearts.. The color combination just make stunning and cute. I think it would look good on my computer monitor.. lol! Definitely a conversation starter or attention grabber!

Snagged a Treasury - Red vs Black


I managed to snag a treasury AGAIN! This is so addictive and fun! And the theme of the treasury is "Red vs Black" sorry for the lack of imagination for the title but red and black are my favorite colors! In fact, they are the exact color theme that I used for my living room :)

Out of the my treasury picks, here's 2 that I absolutely adore.

1) Zippy Red Stuffed Guinea Pig Plushie Baby Size
I have always been a fan of Zygopsyche and her guinea pigs /rabbits plushies. They are simply adorable and cute! Here's Zippy the Red Guinea Pig.

2) Big Eyes - Be Mine card
I know.. i know.. this card can look a little bit creepy (like a stalker stalking you holding his heart) But it is this creepiness that makes this little card so interesting and eye catching. You would not have any problem getting the attention of the reader with this card. Something to think about for the coming Valentine's Day :)
