New Month, New Start - I am on Etsy!

Yesterday was my last day of fun at Toy Outpost. I cleared my box and went away with a heavy heart. But that heaviness did not last long, as I am having fun somewhere else - Etsy! Etsy is the world's largest handmade market place and you can buy and sell handmade or vintage items, art and supplies there!

I am now officially on Etsy and will add items from this blogshop there, as well as load up new ones. No worries about deciding where to buy your accessories from. You can get them both here or at Etsy.

However, I would have a special supplies section only in Etsy. So, for those of you who are interested in getting some of the the pretty beads or gems I used in my creations, you gotta head down to Etsy! Also, I will sometimes introduce specials & promotions that might apply only to the blogshop or only to Etsy, so make sure you visit both places to find the best bargains!

Thanks for staying around... I promise there will be more...

See ya soon!

5 More Days at Toy Outpost

After 3 months of experimental fun, I have decided to push the pause button at my Box 40C at Toy Outpost.

I am having a clearance sale there now. So hop down to Vivocity #02-27 (2 units from Golden Village) and grab some of the nice stuff there.

If you are crying buckets because you will miss my box, don't worry - I will be back sometime in October 2010 with more great stuff! In the meantime, my blogshop will still be operating as usual - new designs almost everyday!

"Purple Twirl" Quartz Wirework Earrings

A unique spiral wireworked earrings with a rich purple quartz gemstone as centre piece. Quirky...

Sale price: US$12/S$18

The Reason Why I Disappeared...

After disappearing on the blogosphere for a week... I am back. You might have missed me cos I went on an amazing race of Western Australia. This is what we covered:

Perth --> Bunbury --> Busselton --> Margaret River --> Pemburton --> Perth --> Swan Valley --> Fremantle -->

It was a cool plus-minus 20 degrees in Perth and just a little lower as we go south. Nonetheless, the trip had been inspiring. The different sights and sounds during the trip have given my creative juices a boost and you will be sure to catch new designs over here soon.

In the meantime, enjoy a nice polariod photo of a leg of my trip, taken with my iphone... (ok, an iphone cannot take polariod photos... it is a free app I downloaded. But it looks nice anyways, right?)
