Dusty Spring

One week till Australia! Ahhhh!

Just in case you're new here - please note this vacation notice. Today's the last day to order customised items or remakes if you wanna receive your items before Christmas. :)

I'll keep this quick, because December is busy and I've got tons of things to do.

This post is about something I made for myself. Since I customised my first double-chained bracelet for Jaycee (Songs of Joy), I've been dying to make a double-chained bracelet for myself. They look quite nice, especially on tiny wrists like mine. Since I like things in nice matching sets - I made the following bracelet and earring set:

Dusty Spring - a spring-themed set in dusty pink and ivory white.

Item Code & Name: SET021 Dusty Spring

Price: RM22.00 (bracelet + earrings) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Please see below.

 Rosaline, ivory and dusty pink pearls in varying sizes, and my new favourite antique silver-plated flower beads.

Item Code & Name: 132 Dusty Spring (Earrings)

Price: RM8.00 (earrings only)

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Rosaline, Ivory and Dusty Pink Faux Pearls, Antique Silver-Plated Flower Beads

 A lovely bird link flanked by ivory and dusty pink pearls, and a little flower bead. The placement of the flower makes it looks like the little birdy is the bringer of spring. :) ❀

Item Code & Name: 133 Dusty Spring (Bracelet)

Price: RM16.00 (bracelet only)

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Ivory and Dusty Pink Faux Pearls, Swallow Link, Antique Silver-Plated Flower Bead, Heart Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 14.5cm (including clasp) <-- this is the measurement for the inner chain - the outer (bottom) chain measures at 15cm so it hangs slightly lower on the wrist from the inner (top) chain. 

Just a note that the measurements are tiny because my wrists are abnormally tiny, so if you would like a remake, we can adjust this to fit your intended size. :)

Lastly, I named this set Dusty Spring because it is a spring-themed bracelet in dusty pink, and my brain is tickled by the fact that there's a singer called Dusty Springfield. Heheh.

Here's a super jiwang oldie from her. :D

Starry Starry Night - Customised

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land 

Love that song. Go listen to Josh Groban's version, if you haven't already done so.

One of my favourite things to do is to customise stuff for my friends using materials they already have - beads left over from an old bracelet, charms that have fallen off a random trinket. Recycling is good, yo! :)

Here's a pair of earrings made using some of Ai Li's old star charms:

Glittering silver-black and jet black chinese crystal doughnuts and silver star charms.

Status: Not Available

Materials: Silver-Black and Jet Black Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Silver Star Charms

Tonight's a nice rainy night, so I shall bid you adieu here.

Demure Daisies - Customised

Sunday's coming to an end. T__T

If I sleep later, Monday will dawn upon me slower, right? Time is relative! *nods*

Also, it's December already - so that's something to be happy about.

Today's post is about something I customised for my friend Lin, which was sent all the way to her beloved nieces in Besut, Terengganu. :) Her only instructions for customisation were for a purple-themed bracelet and a turquoise/green-themed one. Here is the first one - the previously pink and ivory Demure Daisies bracelet in shades of purple.

Shades of purple: soft lilac faux pearls,deep purple chinese crystal doughnuts, and a light lavender daisy.

 The antique silver-plated flower beads add a little character to the bracelet.

That's all, folks.

I'll be back on Tuesday with the turquoise/green customised bracelet. :)

Good night.

Bella Flora (Citrus)

Last day of 6 month anniversary sale ahoy!

So last Thursday I posted this pair of berry-coloured earrings. Here is its citrus-toned equivalent!

A sunny combination of lemon and lime (and let's pretend there's a citrus fruit that's bright blue) frosted acrylic flowers and tiny ivory pearls that dangle off the chain like bellflowers and dewdrops.

Item Code & Name: 127 Bella Flora (Citrus)

Price: RM9.00

Materials: Sunny Yellow, Lime Green and Bright Blue Frosted Acrylic Flowers, Ivory Faux Pearls

Wishing y'all a happy weekend.

Bella Flora (Berry)

Hang in there, it's Thursday! The weekend is near...

This week is a week of earrings, apparently. 

I have always loved the frosted flowers featured in this Petite Blossoms bracelet, and have been itching to make a pair of earrings featuring them. Finally came up with a simple design where the dainty frosted flowers hang like bellflowers from their stalk (in this case, the chain, dangling from your ear). I quite like the result:

 Sweet pink, fuschia and purple frosted acrylic flowers dangle from the chain like bellflowers, accompanied by tiny ivory pearls that resemble dewdrops in the early morning light.

Bella Flora - bella means "beauty" in Spanish, and I thought it would be a cute variation of "bellflower". I am probably butchering 10 different languages in the process. Go me! 

Item Code & Name: 126 Bella Flora (Berry)

Price: RM9.00 

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Light Pink, Fuschia and Purple Frosted Acrylic Flowers, Ivory Faux Pearls

I've made two variations of this pair of earrings. so this is the Berry-flavoured (I mean, Berry-coloured) one, and on Saturday I shall post one in Citrus tones! ;) This is what you get when a foodie makes accessories. Food-inspired accessory names. Shellfish lah, Berries lah. What's next? Chocolate?! Mmmmmm chocolate.

Remember, the sale ends at the end of November, so hurry!

Find out more here. :)

Vacation Notice

Yours truly will be going on vacation in mid-December to the land down under!

I will be away from 13 Dec - 22 Dec 2013, so here are the cut off dates to order items if you want to receive them before Christmas:

Available items: Tuesday 10 December

Remakes / Customised items: Saturday 7 December

Thank you!

Edited to add: If you've just chanced upon this blog but are in no hurry to receive any items of interest, still email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com k? I will respond to your email when I have time (or when I have Internet). Thankies!

Shellfish - Customised

Shellfish?

Oh noes, it seems like I've gone from selling accessories to selling seafood. Not a good combination. Quite disgusting, actually. What person, in their right mind, names their accessories after seafood? I have no justification for the name of these earrings. I just found it hilarious. I'm probably the only one. Ok moving on...

Here's another pair of earrings that I have customised for my friend Ai Li. (Hi again, why do you so frequently appear on my blog? :p) She liked the Seashell + Fish asymmetrical combination from this Under the Sea set, but wanted something in pink and ivory. So here you have the disgustingly-named earrings that are in actual fact quite sweet. :)

Rosaline crystal doughnuts and ivory faux pearls of varying sizes on each earring, a seashell charm, and a fish charm.

 Shell + Fish = Shellfish! :p Asymmetrical but complementary.

Item Code & Name: 125 Shellfish

Price: RM7.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials:Rosaline Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Ivory Faux Pearls, Seashell Charm, Fish Charm

Email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com if you want a remake :)

La Vie En Rose - Customised

Happy Sunday my friends!

My friend Ai Li (hi girl! ♥) recently customised a pair of earrings in sweet pink for a friend of hers, featuring Love and Joy charms. Here is the result:

 La Vie En Rose means life through rose-coloured glasses, and the song by Edith Piaf focuses on how life is rosy and full of love and joy, when you are in love. I thought it was an apt name for this pair of earrings, especially since they feature dainty little rose cabochons. :D

Clear and rosaline chinese crystal doughnuts connected to sweet pink roses on flower filigrees, with Love and Joy charms at the end of each earring.

Item Code & Name: 124 La Vie En Rose

Price: RM11.00

Status: [Sold], Not available

Materials: Clear and Rosaline Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Rose Cabochons on Flower Filigrees, Love Charm, Joy Charm

Go listen to Edith Piaf if you haven't before!

Her voice is simply divine and her songs transport you back to an old era of beautiful, timeless music.

Here's Je Ne Veus Pas Travailler, which means "I don't want to work", which I relate to on a soul-deep level. :p (No smoking, though. Smoking is bad. That way lies pain and death. Don't go down that road.)

Winter Wonderland | White Winter Hymnal Collection: Part 5

Hello folks!

Hope you're having a lovely Saturday so far! This morning, I attended my friend's beautiful wedding, so my heart is full of love and my stomach is full of food. Life's good. Haha! :)

We've come to the last post of the White Winter Hymnal collection - can you believe that Christmas is in a month's time? Hope you're all excited for it like I am! In Malaysia, where we have one huge rainy / humid / hot season, we don't get the wonder of snow in the winter. I have always loved this song, though:

Sleigh bells ring

Are you listening

In the lane

Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

This bracelet and earring set is inspired by the song above -- a winter wonderland, with shades of snowy white, frosty blue, and glistening silver, and many a snowflake. 

Item Code & Name: SET020 Winter Wonderland

Price: RM27.00 (bracelet + earrings) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Please see below.

 Three different types of snowflake charms, shiny silver pearls, silver-clear and cloudy white chinese crystal doughnuts and frosty blue round-faceted chinese crystals.

 I love the symmetry of this bracelet. :D

Item Code & Name: 122 Winter Wonderland (Bracelet)

Price: RM23.00 (bracelet only) SALE: RM16 only (30% off, while item remains Available)

Status: Available

Materials: Cloudy White and Silver-Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Cloudy Blue Round-Faceted Chinrese Crystals, Silver Faux Pearls, Snowflake Links, Snowflake Charms

Measurements: Approximately 18cm

 Again, tis hard to capture the frosty white of the crystals against a white background, so please refer to the images below for something clearer. These earrings feature star-like snowflake charms, and the same crystals that make an appearance in the charm bracelet.

Item Code & Name: 123 Winter Wonderland (Earrings)

Price: RM8.00 (earrings only)

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Cloudy Blue Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Cloudy White and Silver-Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Snowflake Charms

And here's a picture of the entire set against a silver background, to showcase the frosty white crystals better:

When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

That's the end of this collection, do email me if you'd like to buy them for yourself or as Christmas presents!
