Treasury on a beautiful Sunday morning

My Penang bracelet is featured again in another treasury.

Thanks Katie King for including me.

Beautiful Sunday indeed. 

Will be going home for the Chinese New Year holiday. Can't wait to be home and be inspired. 

Wanaka

My new dream destination. 

Where I come from, only a few wants to be here. 
It's either far or expensive or perhaps, not just in the radar at the moment as the go-to destination unless it's part of the Lord of the Rings trek.

But for me, it seems like heaven.

That's why I was pleasantly surprised when an ex-colleague went here  with the entire family during  the recent Christmas / New Year holiday. My dream came true....with them :)

Why do I love Wanaka?
I can't even count the ways...

All I can say is... it's simply breathtaking.

And this bracelet was inspired by that.  Check this out at my etsy site.

Caracas

My Caracas necklace found a home somewhere in the US.

As a jewelry 'artist', I love all my creations but there are some that I love even more and have difficulty parting with. This is one of them. 

Must be the rich colors plus the teardrop shape of the tourmaline that appeals to my inner senses.

I guess, what's important, someone out there will be wearing this beauty.

First treasury in 2011!

Thanks CraftMeSilly for including my Penang bracelet in your lovely treasury. 

I miss Malaysia too, especially the food.

Buzz at the Bazaar

 

Barely can open my eyes, when I arrived home from the bazaar yesterday.  It was so tiring, not just from the selling day itself but more to the preparation that went into it.

Haven't fully recovered until now though. The Dutch Ambassador's wife opened the event. It was a fun experience albeit all the stress that goes into it. No pain, no gain :)

My first ever bazaar

I'm quite excited.

My first ever participation in a bazaar.

If you happen to be in Jakarta, don't miss the Tulip Bazaar at the Erasmus Huis (Dutch Embassy) in Kuningan this coming Saturday, December 11.

This is an annual bazaar visited by expats and Indonesians alike. 

Will post pics of my experience. Wish me luck.

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me...

The countdown begins... 

I know, it's not yet 12 days but for me, we're almost there.

Time to do the Christmas shopping at etsy!
