For Lin

Hola amigos!

It is the end of September and the crazy-busy period in my workplace has settled a little (still crazy, but more manageable) so the hiatus shall end here and posting will resume effective today! Yay!

Have you missed me? Haha. I've definitely missed this little corner of the Internet where I can unleash my random musings and nonsensical ramblings. It's good to be back!

Today. 30 September, also happens to be the birthday of my friend and colleague Lin. :)
 I made her this long neckace that she can wear over her tudung or under her tudung, however she fancies!
A long necklace peppered with flower filigrees, flower links, circle links, silver-black chinese crystal doughnuts and black faux pearls with gold / silver swirls. Gaya. Mutu. Keunggulan. :p
 A close up of the various links and crystals and beads in this necklace. My favourite would be intricate flower filigree. J'adore.

 This shot ain't the nicest, but it's just to give you an idea of the necklace length! Here it looks super symmetrical - wear it asymmetrically for some flair~!

Item Code & Name: 293 Nocturne
Price: RM37.00
Status: Available for remakes
Materials: Black Faux Pearls with Gold / Silver Swirls, Silver-Black Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Flower Filigrees, Flower Links, Circle Links
Measurements: Approximately 115cm

At 115cm, this is the longest necklace I have ever made! :)
Check out some previous long necklaces here and here

If you'd like a remake, just email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com
 
 Lin Lin, hope you had a wonderful birthday holiday and an amazing birthday today with your lovely family! See you at work tomorrow (haha!) :D

My Favourite Things #4

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

 The lyrics above mark the end of the lovely Sound of Music song, and also mark the end of the My Favourite Things series of posts that I've been imposing on you, my dear readers. :)

For it is almost the end of September, which means we will resume regular posting soon! Can't wait to showcase some of the new stuff I've made (with a good helping of my usual ridiculous rambling on the side). :D

My Favourite Things #3

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favourite things


 Whoever wrote this song is an incredibly skilled wordsmith!

Welcome to the latest installment of My Favourite Things, featuring my favourite of all favourite things - earrings! They are the accessories I wear the most often, partly due to the fact that I am often too lazy to change necklaces and put on bracelets. :p

Here are some of my favourite creations:


 Clockwise from the top left (click on the names to go to the individual posts for more pictures):

Blood Diamond - shiny diamond links paired with ever-stunning cherry red and wine Czech preciosa crystals.
Pretty Pastels - cascading Swarovski bicones in sapphire, aquamarine, rose and violet, ending with rosaline crystal teardrops.
Nightingale - one of my oldest and most-favouritest creations - sleek silver pearls, clover links and adorable bird beads.
District 4 - matching asymmetry: an ode to Finnick and Annie from the Hunger Games - one the steer, one the anchor.

 These earrings are all available for remakes, so email me at
if you'd like to make one of these your own!

See something you like, but would like a few changes?
Customisation is possible!

:)

My Favourite Things #1

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Since I am on a semi-hiatus, allow me a moment of self-indulgence by picking and showcasing some of my favourite creations. Here's the bracelet edition!
Clockwise from top left:

Mulan - red and fiery, like our courageous heroine who defied gender norms for the love of country and family.
Faith Shines Bright - lovely black, blue and silver tones, a message of faith, and a stunning bermuda blue Swarovski heart.
Estella - my favourite lace creation: intricate black lace with a silver night Swarovski heart at the clasp.
Dusty Spring - a double-chained beauty with dusty pink and ivory pearls, a swallow link, and my favourite flower bead.

They're all available for remakes!

Temporary Hiatus

Hello faithful readers!


Just to let you know that I'll be on a mini posting hiatus from now till the end of September.
Wake me up when September ends. Literally. :p

Nothing's wrong, I'm not burning out, I'm not having an existential crisis. :p Just taking a break from posting new content. I'll still be accepting orders for both available and remake-able items, and I'll still be customising stuff, so don't hesitate to email me k! (daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com)

There'll be one or two recap posts every now and then, and I'll be adding to the clearance sale section now and then, so do continue to check in for your weekly (perhaps biweekly) dose of neurotic rambling! :)

Happy September, folks.
