CNY Collaboration with I Can't Sew - Part 2

Wheee holiday tomorrow! 
I love public holidays! :)

I'm here again to share our 2nd collaboration with I Can't Sew!
Feast your eyes~


I really love this dress they're featuring. It's whimsically named the 'Coral Princess Chiffon Dress', a lovely flowing coral-peach affair, matched with Dainty Little Trinkets' 'Seychelles' set - a long necklace and earring set with seashell beads and little dolphin links. 

Methinks the sweet ivory seashells go very nicely with the coral-peach shades of the dress - a thoroughly Oceanic affair. :)

Originally at RM86, this package is now going for RM59 only. Such a steal, don't ya think?

Check out the promo package on I Can't Sew's webpage here ♥
Check out more pics and details of the Seychelles set here ♥

Good night and enjoy your day off tomorrow :)

Snowflakes Galore!

Hello!

Hope everyone has been having a nice, restful weekend. I, for one, would not mind if it goes on and on forever. :D Resolutely not thinking about the mountain of work that lies ahead of me in the coming week. De Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, yo!

So Christmas just ended a while ago, and I haven't finished featuring the Christmas presents I made for people. So bear with me yeah? Some brand new collections are just around the corner!

Here are some Christmas-themed earrings - lovely little snowflakes and crystals in frosty, snowy shades! 

 Snowflake charms and links are among my favourite, they're always so intricate and classy-looking. These were made for Karuna, Yin Lu and Ju Li, :)
 Clear and frosty crystal doughnuts with the most popular snowflake charms.

Item Code & Name: 159 Snowflake 1

Hola!

TGIF. With such a hectic start to the year, I'm sure a lot of us are looking forward to more holidays! I'm looking forward to Chinese New Year - only a couple more weeks to go, then it's ang pows and feasts galore! 

The lovely ladies over at I Can't Sew are back with another cool promotional month leading up to Chinese New Year - dresses in feisy red, sweet pink and rich maroon, with matching accessories. Dainty Little Trinkets has collaborated with them on a number of promotional packages. Here is the first. :)

Queen of Hearts

My favourite person in the whole wide world is my mummy. She has been ever supportive of this hobby of mine, humouring me everytime I show her every creation, accompanying me through KL heat and traffic on my bead shopping sprees, offering encouragement and unwavering support. :)

My recent trip to Australia was actually to attend my brother's graduation, and mummy wanted something elegant, with a dash of colour and sparkle to accompany her black dress. Here's the necklace I made for her:
 A dash of red and a hint of sparkle - ruby red crystal doughnuts paired with silver-black crystal doughnuts.

 The crystals on the necklace are also interspersed with little clover links, ending of course, with the intricately-patterned celtic heart pendant.


Item Code & Name: 155 Queen of Hearts
Price: RM22.00
Status: [Sold], Available for remakes
Materials: Ruby Red and Silver-Black Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Clover Links, Celtic Heart Pendant
Measurements: Approximately 42.5cm (including clasp) + 2.5cm extender chain; Drop = 2cm
If you're reading this, show your mum some love today with a great big hug! Treat them like the queens that they are.

Bookmarks

Ze week is extremely hectic and I am über tired, so this post shall be a short one.

Short by my standards, that is. Probably still too verbose for everyone else's. Oh well. It's my blog and I'll ramble if I want to (3 gold stars if you spot the reference)!

Here are 2 bookmarks that I made as Christmas pressies for two good friends of mine. :)
Silver bookmarks engraved with whimsical flowers, with little charms carrying personal meanings and inside jokes. :D
 For Winnee, who makes funny puns and is a Deer Friend of mine. :p

For Ivy

So it is Sunday evening. 
As this post is being published, I am probably on a flight back from Sarawak, feeling dejected at the idea of another work week that looms ahead. Yeah yeah, enough melodrama from me, I know. :p This is not a personal blog to spring forth all my whiny complaints, I know. On to the accessories, then. :)

In yet another "look what I got you for Christmas" feature, here are a pair of earrings I made for Ivy. Like Ai Li, Ivy is no stranger to this blog - in fact, if you click on this asymmetrical tag, lots of the items there were made for her. So last Christmas, I was faced with a dilemma - what was I to make for the reigning queen of asymmetry, the champion of mismatched things, that would somehow still appeal to my anal-retentive nature and love for order?

Voila - use the same ingredients but shake up the order a little!

 Sweet lilac roses on flower filigrees, with tiny clusters of silver/purple/rosaline pearls (the rosaline pearls are somewhat invisible due to my poor photoshop skillz), and larger lilac pearls. The asymmetry adds a dash of originality and quirkiness to this sweet, demure pair of earrings - much like the owner. :p
Item Code & Name: 144 Rosy Posy
Price: RM10.00 
Status: Not Available 
Materials: Silver, Purple, Rosaline and Lilac Faux Pearls, Lilac Rose Cabochons, Flower Filigrees

Have a good week ahead, my rosy little posies.
Remember that each one of you is a unique little blossom, ready to bloom and take on the world!

(Wow does that not sound like a motivational quote gone wrong? Heehee)

For Ai Li

Hola!

I'm actually on a mini-trip to Sarawak at the moment (hopefully gorging myself on kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, tomato kuay teow, fresh seafood and other yummy Sarawakian delicacies), so here's a scheduled post. 

My friend Ai Li, who has featured rather frequently on this blog as she is one of my most ardent supporters (), is a fan of pretty pastel colours. She particularly liked the colour combination of the tiny little sparkly Swarovski bicones in my lacey bracelet. So naturally, for Christmas, I gave her these Pretty Pastel earrings! :D


Swarovski bicones in shades of light rose, light sapphire, aquamarine and violet, paired with rosaline crystal teardrops for that touch of glamour and sophistication. Another pair of earrings that I kinda covet. :p

Item Code & Name: 138 Pretty Pastels
Price: RM15.00
Status: [Sold], Available for remakes
Materials: Light Rose, Violet, Light Sapphire and Aquamarine Swarovski Bicones, Rosaline Crystal Teardrops

As always, please place orders at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com.
I'll respond to your emails as soon as I finish stuffing my face all over Sarawak. :D

For Wei Lyn

First day of 2014 back at work or school for most of us, eh? 
Hope your 2014 has started with a bang. If it's been hectic, no worries, as the weekend is near! 

Now that the Christmas season has passed, the next few posts are gonna be about the Christmas presents I made for my friends. :) I'm quite happy with how they turned out, so I hope you like 'em too!

First up is a bracelet I am rather fond of. I've named it Tree of Gondor, because I am a huge fan of Lord of the Rings (and so is Wei Lyn, who I gave this bracelet to). Also, I rather love the varying beads in varying shades of green. :)
 A lone tree charm that resembles the white tree of gondor, and a bead with tree branch engravings.
A medley of green tones - light chartreuse and emerald Czech Preciosa crystals, sea-green chinese crystal doughnuts, and dark green chrysocolla beads. Chrysocolla beads are derived from chrysocolla stones, a minor ore of copper, and can range from blueish turquoise to green to earth tones. Fascinating stuff, these minerals. Pretty, too! :)
Pardon the quality of photos - this bracelet looks a lot more vibrant and a lot less washed out in real life.

Item Code & Name: 147 Tree of Gondor
Price: RM20.00
Status: Available for remakes
Materials: Light Chartreuse and Emerald Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Sea-Green Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Dark Green Chrysocolla Beads, Tree Charm, Bead with Tree Branch Engraving
Measurements: Approximately 17cm (including clasp) + 2.5cm extender chain

To order, email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com.

That's all, folks. 
G'night.
