many hearts

love: heart pendants :)

I first used this heart link in this bracelet, liked it so much that I ordered in a huge bulk (just a small portion photographed here), I think I went overboard because now my drawer is overflowing with these lovely hearts....

(another voice in my head defensively says pretty things are for keeps!)
 

But the good thing is I can now make interlocked necklaces that I have been dreaming about, no need to skimp or keep counting if I have enough for other projects :)

 Here are the pieces I worked on during the weekend, I made it in 2 different lengths since I can't decide which one I like better...

fabulous pink

adore

Taken over at my new room, will be moving in end of July.

pink walls! ♥♥♥

I'm grateful for my new home, grateful for a new lovely 'studio' to work in (a corner in my bedroom), grateful for the large storage spaces & definitely grateful for my pink walls ;)

As I'm writing this, I can't help but reflect if that is all I'm grateful about, pretty shallow don't you think?

I guess even without all the excitement surrounding my new house, I'm just grateful to be alive & well.

as reminded from my devotion time last night "my goodness is nothing apart from You"

The world is not my home, a truth I need to be reminded of, not be sidetracked by the shiny toys of the world....

brand new week

taken from my jewellery notebook, where i scribble ideas, note down orders & a to-do list i never really bother

I love Mondays, the fresh start of the week :)

& I love the bead shopping trip last weekend!

For the rest of the week, with more beads added to my collection, I'll be in jewellery making mode.
New & restocked old ones, it's quite a lot to sort through... can't wait to get this done.

Among the new beads are shiny-cum-matte glass pearls, in the most awesome turquoise shade ;)

will show it here one day!

treasure chest

How pretty is this? I was certainly lucky to have found this palm size treasure chest snugly hidden in a home deco store.

 The size is perfect to display bracelets in my retail store, was so glad I managed to get this it (it was the last one, or else I would have bought a couple more!)

Close Up

I love its wooden, rough finishing :)

I used it temporarily to store jewellery materials that I was going to work on, these eventually became charm bracelets.

(21 of them, but I forgot to take pics of the finished pieces, they are all at my retail store right now!)

Here are a couple of charms that I really like.
Especially my latest loot- the 3D teapot in the center ;)

With this last photo, I'm joining the 'much love monday' fun 

have a great week ahead!
