Spotlight - Bookmarks

This is a scheduled post, as I am currently traipsing around Bangkok, hopefully shopping till I drop and eating till I can't anymore. :D 

This post will focus on bookmarks that I've made in the past - ones that I particularly love. Bookmarks make great presents for most people - they're versatile, don't require that much tailoring to personal taste, and serve a great purpose (unless the person in question doesn't read books, haha).

Here are some bookmarks (click on the names of each to go to their original posts!)

 I Believe (RM22)

 Olive Grove (RM13)

 Nymphaea (RM23)

Vintage Spring (RM18)

That's all for now - will be back soon!

Helloooo, I'm in Singapore for work, so this is a pre-planned spotlight post.

Spotlight - Double-Chained

Yo yo yo!

 

This is probably the most ghetto my blog has ever been, bro!

Haha, if you're wondering whether I've lost my mind, the answer is no. My mind was lost a long long time ago. :p If you're wondering what possessed me to post a picture of 2 Chainz (is that actually 2 Chainz? I have no idea. Is his name two-chains or two-chainz or 2-chainz?)... well, in this picture, 2 chainz/two-chains/two-chainz is indeed wearing two chains. Two very bling, very in-your-face gold chains. Which brings me to today's spotlight post - double-chained trinkets!

(I know, I know, my mind works in mysterious ways). 

Here are some much less bling and IMHO daintier and prettier two-chained trinkets - click on the name of the trinket to go to the original posts!)

 Dusty Spring (RM16)

 Vintage Romance (RM20)

 Mystique (RM20)

Where Your Treasure Is (RM32)

Spotlight - Words

It's only words

and words are all I have

to take your heart away.

--- So boybands through the ages have crooned (though Bee Gees will probably object to being called a boyband, haha).

Hello people! This is the first of the spotlight posts while I am off frolicking in Japan. As you are reading this, I am probably somewhere in Nara, walking around some temple in the cold winter weather, feeding deer (or being chased by deer). Oh deer. Ahahaha I amuse myself so. 

ANYWAY. I've already uttered waaay too many WORDS without getting to the point of this post.

This post is intended to shine a spotlight on accessories featuring little messages - words of joy, words of hope, words of love, as we need all the reminders we can get as we go through the routine that is life.

(Click on the names of each accessory for more descriptions and pictures)

 Everlasting Love (RM12)

 Live. Laugh. Love (RM18)

Spotlight - Christmas

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows
It's written in the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love Christmas c'mon and let it snow

Does anyone else love this hilariously Christmassy song from Love Actually? Also, Love Actually - one of the classics for Christmas, and one of the romantic comedy classics of our generation. :)

 Soooo I'm still on holiday, but since Christmas is just around the corner, this is a spotlight post that casts some bright wintry light on some of the Christmassy creations from Dainty Little Trinkets!

 (The names of each trinket link to the original posts!)

I'll leave you with the Love Actually scene where Christmas is All Around is being recorded (excuse the swearing, hehe). :)

Spotlight - Asymmetry

- zis is a scheduled post as yours truly is still on holiday -

Now you must be wondering - why the blazes is there a picture of some lady with a cool hairstyle on a site that is supposed to be about handmade trinkets? To be fair, if you are the sort to pay attention to titles, you would've rightly deduced that this post is about asymmetry and the reason why that picture is here is because of her gorgeously stylish asymmetrical hairstyle.

I am in general a fan of logic and order and symmetry, though the occasional asymmetry does spice things up a little. So here is my little ode to asymmetry, as you can see in the pictures below. 

 Daenerys & Drogo (RM8) - but currently on sale!

 

Eternal Flame (RM19)

 

 Cyan Blooms (RM9)

Nebula (RM34)

So if you like asymmetrical things, check out the asymmetrical tag for more goodies!

Spotlight - Colourful Clay

You know the drill -

I am still on vacation and this is a scheduled post!

Today's spotlight post will feature all things made from polymer clay!

First, have a pretty colourful picture:

Isn't it amazing, the kinds of things humans can craft from clay? There is truly no limit to creativity (well, there's a limit to mine, but not some other creative souls). Aside from colourful clay jars and all sorts of beautiful decorative items, polymer clay has been used by all sorts of arty farty people to create gorgeous little charms and beads. 

Over the course of this year, I've purchased quite a lot of beautiful clay charms and beads, so here are some accessories featuring them (click on the names to go to the original posts for more pictures)!

 I Believe (RM22)

 Porcelain (RM20)

 Le Petit Macaron (RM18)

 Lil' Shroom (RM12)

How adorable are those mushrooms above, yeah?

So go forth and browse and email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com to purchase stuff!

I'm still on vacation, so email responses may take a few days, so please bear with me yeah.

Spotlight - Flowers

You don't bring me flowers

You don't sing my love songs...

Haha, okay. This is not that kinda post. We are not about to be jiwang here. Today's scheduled post is about all things flowery and beautiful! Firstly, feast your eyes on this gorgeous photo:

Flowers are truly a magnificent creation of God - so striking, so colourful, so exquisitely intricate. Here are some creations that feature pretty flower cabochons and beads!

(Click on them trinket names to go to the original posts!)

Spotlight - Inspired by Books and Movies

Hi hello from the land down under!

Why yes, my brother is graduating yet again, and I am in Melbourne yet again, like the awesomely supportive sister that I am. :) What this means is that I will be missing for a while from the Internet, and in my absence, I have scheduled a bunch of posts so you won't miss me too much. Heehee.

The first of these vacation posts will shine a spotlight on one of my pet-topics - the books and movies that I love! The three book/movie series that I love most have a lot in common - they are all epic stories of the struggle of good against evil, they are set in fantasy lands far away from reality, they feature flawed, believable protagonists that you love and root for and cry with, and all have spanned multiple books and movies and inspired legions of fans.

I'm talking about Harry Potter, the Hunger Games and the Lord of the Rings, of course. Such epic sagas of love, honour, courage and hope. I could go on for days, but I shall not bore you with all my rambling. Instead, I'll feature some pieces that have been inspired by these wonderful works of fiction. 

(The names of each trinket link to the original posts!)

 The Golden Snitch (RM12)

 Patronus (RM18)

 Mockingjay (RM15)

 Tree of Gondor (RM20)

There are more accessories and trinkets inspired by these lovely franchises, which you can check out here:

Harry Potter

Hunger Games

Lord of the Rings

Email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com if you'd like to order something!

My replies may be slow as I'm on vacay yeah, sorry!
