holiday notice

We are leaving for the airport this morning and you can imagine the madness at home right now with the frantic double and triple checking of things we will need for the long flight. Forget about travelling light - we'd better not forget Nathan's favourite blue lovie and Hi 5 dvds!

The online shop will be closed for the next 2 weeks and will reopen in mid April 2010 when we return from our vacation. Thank you for understanding and have a great holiday everyone!

hyperventilating already,

my hero

{ daddy and a 2 mth old nathan}

Today we celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary, and everyday I thank God that he put such a godly loving man in my life.

Thank you honey for putting up with my whims and nonsense all these years. And loving me all the same - quirks, warts and all.

Thank you for making me talk whenever I clam up during an argument. And for always saying sorry first even if I was the one at fault.

Thank you for being such an amazing hands on daddy. And for putting Nathan to bed every night so I can have a break.

And oh, have I thanked you for that lovely Kate Spade bag yet?

You know how shy I am about public declarations, so here's a simple
happy 4th anniversary sweetheart :)

You know I ♥ you.

New Necklaces

{petite etoile and petite coeur necklaces}

I added two new simple necklaces to the shop yesterday. They were born out of my own need for simple fuss free chains to go with all the fancy earrings that I make and wear. Although with Nathan now, it means I prefer to wear studs which he cannot tug and threaten to split my lobes in two... There are still days I just like something easy to wear and petite coeur is one of them :)

{Tooting Tootsie}

(Oh wow she got sold even before I blogged about it! Thanks S!)

Next meet little MissTooting Tootsie. She's a charmer of a vintage black enamel and gold owl pin with rhinestones round her eyes that I picked up on a Portobello trawl, like 2 years back? I seriously dig this babe! How cute is she?~! I plan to go back to my more complex necklace designs soon but that'll probably have to wait till we return from UK, with hopefully lotsa treasures and newfound inspiration in tow!

yippee yay yay,

A birthday and an update

New additions to the shop!

I know it's been the longest time. As V so succintly put it, "your last blog post was dated 9 Feb!!" I can only plead procrastination what with all the Chinese New Year celebrations, and Nathan's 1st birthday bash just a week later. Yes, a full whole year of 365 days has come and gone and our little man is now a full fledged toddling toddler!We had 2 parties for him on the actual day of his birthday - 20 Feb - one for his kiddy friends in the afternoon and another one for the whole clan (my side of cos) at his grandparents' place at night. That Saturday was really the longest day of our lives, if you exclude the wedding and nathan's birth naturally.The kids were such a riot! But so memorable nonetheless :) As we are heading back to the UK over the Easter break, Nathan gets to have another 1st birthday party with his dad's side of the family and relive his special day all over again! I'm just glad I don't have to plan this one haha. We are really looking forward to going back for the first time with Nathan, it really is high time he got in touch with his English roots! Not to mention enjoy a break from the crazy heat that was February. April showers here we come!

in vacation mode already,
