♥ NEW ♥ Raindrops Keep Falling Collection

I love the rain. The sound of the pitter patter. The smell of the rain as they fall and hit the window panes.

One of my first fond memories of the rain is having tea with my best friday at TGIF glass house (which has since closed) and watching the rain hit against the glass house and passer-by rush along with their umbrellas. Another memory was when I was still studying in Melbourne. Love smelling and hearing the rain fall as I peer through my bedroom window. It was a welcome distraction from my mugging for my exams.

With these precious memories, I created a collection called "Raindrops Keep Falling" (Title came from a song that my younger brother used to play on the piano when we were little). It is a collection of necklaces and earrings with raindrop falling from clouds in matte silver or matte 14k gold.

1. Raindrops Keep Falling Necklace { Original - Blue } - Matte Silver
2. Raindrops Keep Falling Earrings { Original - Blue } - Matte Silver
3. Raindrops Keep Falling Necklace { Clear } - Matte Silver
4. Raindrops Keep Falling Necklace ( Clear - Iridescent ) - Matte 14k Gold

Watch out for its nemesis Acid Rain coming soon.

♥ NEW ♥ Czech Glass Beads Earrings . Bright Citrus Hues

These are the new earrings that I made with the vintage Czech glass beads that I found during one of my beads hunts. I made 3 pairs of earrings; each with a different mix of the citrus hues. I love the bright citrus colors as well as the unique twirl design of the glass beads. As you can see some of the beads are opaque in color and some has a tinge of translucent. Not one bead is exactly the same as the other.

1. Cherry Tomatoes - red + orange + yellow
2. Lemon Meringue Pie - orange + yellow + pale yellow
3. Custard Tart - orange + yellow + cream yellow

Gone too long

It's been a long time since I post any entry on my blog. OMG it is more than a year. The truth is that I deliberately took time off and wanted to stop writing my blog as I was conflicted about using it to share my jewelry creations and using it to share the things that I love.

After much thoughts, I decided that since it is supposed to be MY BLOG I should be able to do both and not focus too much attention of whether it will bring me more sales. Tsk... Ta da! Here I am.

A very meaningful song.... Love Me by JJ Heller

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…

Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew

Listen to it here.

Playing with my Hipstamatic

Here's some photos that I took after dinner at Epicurious @ Robertson Quay today... "Where's dinner?".. well, I was so hungry that I didn't manage to take any photos of my meal until my plate was empty and I thought to myself, I should have taken a photo... :)

April : Cherry Blossom Season : Meet the Princesses

Have you met my Cherry Blossoms princesses? You might have as I featured them in my April newsletter. Click here to subscribe.

April is a season of Cherry Blossoms especially so in Japan. It is a such a big festival that people often take long lunches just to enjoy the beautiful view at the park under the Cherry Blossom trees.

In view of this beautiful and significant festive, I have created 3 beautiful necklaces of these princesses.

Who do you think is the fairest of them all?

Happy Easter!!

It's been so long since I had a good long break... (ok..I know I just took leave during my birthday but it's different! :p ) This week has been awfully quiet (at work) I guess most people took leave to fully utilise the long weekend. I had nothing plan this weekend, just to stay home, chill, shop and probably house cleaning. :) How about you?

Anyhow, I still had time to window shop on Etsy. Here's some goodies that I found!
