Inspiration juice flowing!

4 new pieces of work this week. I am very happy! ^_^ I have listed 2 of them - "Keep my heart" and "Serenity" on my blogshop. Do take a peep! =) You can find better photos of these lovelies from my Facebook. If you wish to get updates on my work, pls "Like" my page. ♥

I will list "My ring" later today. As for "Shining Hearts", I am battling within myself whether to keep them. *opps*

Hope you like them as much as I love creating them. Have a wonderful week ahead!

17 more days before my 2nd work year anniversary with my current employer

I have been counting down since last month to my 2nd work year anniversary with my current employer. How many of us work just because of the money? Sadly, I am one of them. This job gives me the funds to pay my bills, accumulate some savings, support my passion and my materialistic cravings. Call me shallow, I am pretty used to that.

My dream job -- to open a beads cafe, where I get to sell quality beads and gemstones, with a corner of the shop selling petite pretty pastries and serving gourmet coffee and tea. Not sure how practical this dream job is, but I would love it! For now, I can only daydream about it.


****************************
Managed to create a pair of earrings last week. Check out my blog and etsy for more photos and details. =)

No matter where you are, hope you have a great week ahead.

Went christmas shopping yesterday with hubby. Visited my all time favourite shop "Das Erzgebirge-Haus" at Ion Orchard. I bought for myself a little Guardian Angel.

Also went Kinokuniya and got myself the latest issue of Imagine FX (my most loved Digital Art magazine). Free 2010 calendar enclosed inside with the magazine!

New item listed

Newly listed on both my blogshop and etsy. I had great happiness creating this piece. Love the intricacy of the bead caps and the sparkly crystal teardrops. Always find refuge in creating new pieces. Sometimes I wish my full-time job is just to make these lovelies. Hope you like this piece. =)

Store update and my new loot

Newly listed! (Visit my online shops for details.):-

1) "Winter Wonderland" Necklace - This necklace is created with the spirit of joy and winter white in mind. I used swarovski round square indicolite crystal, blue fiery moonstone, crystal teardrop, czech beads and seed beads. All woven on a filigree and covered with another. The necklace cord is made of suede. 

2) "Sweet Giraffee" Earrings - Sweet pair of giraffe (with an extra "e"!) earrings. Totally fun and adorable. Wear them to school, shopping, casual outings or dates. 

*******************************************

I want to share with all about my new loot - Jill Stuart's blusher compact. I ordered this online via ebay from Japan (Jill Stuart is a big popular brand in Japan. I read that their cosmetic counters are always crowded with eager buyers). Mine is the 02 colour. The 4 shades look bright and pink but when applied, they blend very well with the skin - giving a pink sweet glow. =) Everything looks so pretty and girlie. Packaging is the main reason (I believe) why Jill Stuart is such a hit with ladies. My only complain is the brush, which tends to slide back when in use. 'Nuff said, here are the photos.

Shop update =)

Things I made this weekend

This weekend has been tough for me emotionally. I'm thankful for a supportive hubby - he was understanding and gave me the personal space I needed. I took the time to make some pieces for my shops and also a piece for myself.

These are for my etsy and blogshop - "Take Me Home" ear studs (measuring only about 0.4 inches wide each... aren't they cute?) and "Ribbons" earrings (I love the little ribbons!).

The one below is my personal collection. New from my workbench. I used Japanese ceramic flower (see the shades of pink and white), huge blue fiery moonstone and a little one on the top left of the pendant. I also used lovely AB crystal teardrops and raspberry colour crystal bicones. Do you see the pink quartz chips too?

Have a good week ahead. Thanks for dropping by! **hugs

Do You Love Me Earrings by ~littleorangetree on deviantART

New items listed!

It has been a while since I post a store update here. Here's a peep to some of the new items that I have placed on both my blogshop and etsy for sale. They are elegant and high quality, but still very affordable! Do check them out!

My very sincere thanks to all who have supported me during my last sale. I am very encouraged. Love you all. **hugs**

My new loot + shop update

2 new things to share with everyone. Both in pink! 

Call me kiddish, I bought a Little Twin Star key chain yesterday. It's really sweet - with a pink bow, the trademark angel couple, several pretty plastic smiley stars and lots of tiny gold stars. I hang it on my bag, the size is perfect!

I also bought a large jewelry box. Decided to use them to hold my bead supplies. The box looks pretty but the quality is not that great as compared to another one I bought from Hallmark. Nevertheless, it will serve me well to hold the stones, beads and findings... not forgeting my tools.

=============================================================
Store update - Blue Petals Earrings listed in my etsy and blogshop. At a very affordable price.  ^_^  Do visit often for more new items.



Thanks for dropping by!

Store update ... and what I just ordered from Rakuten

Store update - "I Love Ribbons" earrings

Made of lovely pastel bluish green chalcedony gemstone beads, with 16K Gold Plate over Brass Ribbon Detailed hoops and swarovski crystals. Very sweet and elegant! Now available in my etsy store and blogshop. Please do check this babe out!

===============================================

After window-shopping at Rakuten for several months, I decided to give it a try -- by ordering a bag from one of the participating shops that could ship items overseas. I bought a blue leather bag from a shop named Yamamoto. It is a really simple but functional bag. I just love the blue colour! I'm still waiting for the seller to get back to me on the shipping charges. Hopefully the entire transaction would be smooth.

Store update

~~ * Fairy Love - Floral Filigree Necklace * ~~

Inspired by the beautiful gemstone beads and Japanese clay flowers.

I weaved lots of treasures on 3 pieces of metal filigrees - Japanese glass cabochon (this is a rare gem I found at my local bead store), Japanese clay pink flowers, crystal bicones, ruby teardrops and seed beads. I also added sparkly pink quartz, glass faceted beads and crystals for the rest of the necklace. Realised copper and gold make a perfect couple. ^_^  

~~* Berry Nice Earrings *~~

Dainty pair of gemstone earrings. They remind me of sweet juicy berries in the fields. Made of sparkly pink quartz, crystal bicones and elegant silver bead caps.
