Kelsey's Bookmarks

So one of my last posts of 2014 was a bunch of keychains that Kelsey had customised from me (as seen here!). Here are two bookmarks that she also customised - in all their Christmassy, festive glory! :D I know it's past Christmas, but we can all indulge in the ~holiday mood a little longer yeah? What with the new year's first full week of work looming above our heads. T__T

For Anujah

Hello, friends. 

This is an advanced birthday greeting post to my friend and colleague Anujah! :)

Anujah's birthday falls on 31st Dec, the last day of the year. Since I've already given her this present, I can now share it here. :) It's one of my favourite asymmetrical necklaces, which I shall go into detail about (oh you bet I will, hehe) further down in this post. First up, pictures!

 An asymmetrical necklace in the style of the Eternal Flame necklaces, but instead of a heart, capped off with a magenta faux pearl, a clover link, and the star of the show - a ruby baroque Swarovski pendant. 

 Named Royale because the pendant is very royal and regal-looking, much like Jah herself! Gotta love the rich ruby shade of the pendant, matched with the magenta faux pearl. The Swarovski pendant is very intricately cut, with many facets. Also, this necklace can be adjusted to different lengths by moving the infinity link up and down - very versatile to match your different blouse/dress necklines. :)

Item Code & Name: 327 Royale

Price: RM35.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Infinity Link, Magenta Faux Pearl, Clover Link, Ruby Baroque Swarovski Pendant

Measurements: Approximately 44cm (including clasp), drop = 4.5cm (length adjustable to whatever you want it to be!)

Check out the present I made for Jah last year - also in the same rich wine tones. :) *click here*

Happy blessed birthday, Jah. :) Hope the new year brings about exciting adventures, moments of great joy, and lots of love!

Sunday Stylefile #8

My heart is heavy - yet another airline incident. Praying for the passengers of QZ8501. Hope you're safe somewhere. Please be safe, somewhere. Three Malaysian flight carrier incidents in 2014. Three too many. :(

This shall be a brief Sunday Stylefile post, featuring one of the accessories from the Jars of Clay collection. This is the pretty Porcelain bracelet, made of white, blue and black Lun Bawang beads that somehow resemble the old porcelain jars from ancient China with intricate blue paintings. 

I have matched this bracelet with three dresses that have similar colour themes and/or traditional motifs -

On ze left, be bold and stunning in this Baroque Floral Cap-Sleeved Dress from Dressabelle.

In ze middle, look elegant and refined in this Midnight Renaissance Wrap Dress from Whitesoot.

On ze right, rock the sailor girl look in this Royal Blue and White-Striped Dress from Hutz Fashion.

*Disclaimer* I own not the images above, they are from the sites that I have credited. 

Click on the links to go buy them pretty dresses. :)

 The Porcelain bracelet can be purchased at 10% off from now till the next Sunday Stylefile post. Originally RM20, it''ll now cost RM18. Check out more pictures of the bracelet here.

Kelsey's Keychains

I'm baaaaaaack!

Back with a bang!

Or should I say "back with a clang"... you know, the clanging sounds that keys make? Coz this post is about keychains? No?

That joke kinda fell flat huh. It's been too long since I last blogged; gotta get back that joking mojo. I blame my current immuno-compromised state! It's not my fault that I'm not firing on all cylinders! So anywaaaay.

This post is about a couple of keychains that my long-time customer Kelsey customised for herself and her friends! The base of the design comes from this keychain that I made as a farewell present for Ai Li some months back. These three keychains have separate colour themes, a different charm, and different alphabets. :)

Matching blue, pink, green keychains for an inseparable set of friends!

 The one that bears the closest resemblance to the original keychain, this one has frosted blue and aqumarine chinese crystal doughnuts.

Merry Christmas!

Hello one and all!

I am back - back to wish you a Merry Blessed Christmas and good tidings to all. :)

Hope you've been having a good break and that you don't have to work/study for the rest of the year. 

I'm feeling a little grinchy as I've been having some sort of bacterial infection (at least that's what the doctor thinks it is), which is accompanied by fever, chills, a very sore throat, and now has the added symptoms of swollen gums and swollen lymph nodes at my neck region. FUN! So I do hope that your Christmas is going better than mine. 

Then I am reminded of that story of Joseph and Mary so very many years ago, who travelled far and wide and could not find an inn to lay in while Mary went into labour -- Mary giving birth to little baby Jesus in a manger - all for us. The greatest gift of all. 

Hope you have a reflective and warm remaining 2014 - regular posting shall resume soon when I have had enough rest and hopefully rid myself of all this cursed bacteria. One can hope.

Feliz Navidad!

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!)

 Winter Wonderland (RM23)

 Poinsettia (RM18)

 Anna (RM18)

 Morning Star (RM12)

That's all for now - I'll be back from holiday soon with some new trinkets to feature!

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

Noelle

Sunday mornin'

Rain is fallin'

I'm still holidayin'

So this is a scheduled post. :)

(Also it's Sunday evening and it may not be raining, but I claim artistic license. Or gratuitous lyric-stealing license.

Sometime last year, I posted the Hearts and Lace collection, which included this pair of earrings that I like quite a bit. Here are some swarovski bicone colour variations!

Violet, light sapphire (the original) and aquamarine.

They're also available in rose, blue zircon and carribean blue opal. :)

Fun fact: my pictures are normally photoshopped to attain a fully white background, but it is sometimes über difficult to do so when you are featuring items with white in them. White lace is a nightmare. So here you have a semi-gray background, to give you a behind-the-scenes look of what we go through from the creation of the trinket, to the photo-taking, to the final presentation (coupled by nonsensical rambling). All in a day's work!

Item Code & Name: 107 Noelle

Price: RM8.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Silver-Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Lace Flowers, Heart Links, Swarovski Bicones

For The Little One

This day, Saturday 20 December, is the day my little brother officially graduates with Honours and is released into the scary postgraduate world. I am currently away and have most likely just spent my Saturday morning being bored to tears by the graduation ceremony in some majestic-looking hall somewhere in Melbourne. With my luck, it will be 38 degrees like it was during his graduation last year. Oh the sweltering heat and the gaping hole in the ozone layer above Australia! *pengsan*

Anyway, since it is the little one's graduation date and all, this post is dedicated to him. (Also, he's at least a head taller than everyone else in my family, so he's not little at all. But once a little bro, always a little bro - I'm sure some of you can relate.)

My brother is as big of a Harry Potter fan as I am, so this is a plain and simple Deathly Hallows keychain to accompany him through his many more years away from home.

Unfortunately, this ain't available because I don't actually have any antique brass keychains available (I recycled this one from an existing trinket I had lying around). But if you're a fan of all things Harry Potter, never fear! Check out more stuff here!

Little one, I'll leave you with this quote from the indomitable, quirky and ever-wise Dumbledore:

'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.'

Remember this as you face each challenge that comes your way.

I'm very proud of you.

 

Much love,

姐

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!

 G'night!
