Hi there. . . if you have been following for a while, you will know about my love for placing beautiful things on display at home and wherever can be -- from bottle collections to pretty flowers, some things are far too lovely to stow away, and now, with the holidays fast and happily approaching, creative juices are overflowing and quite adore the idea of displaying all the colourful greeting cards that I received on a set up such as this here, charmingly, with ribbons and pins,a sign of celebrations.. . . .sweet :)

One Look Two Feel

2010-11-16T07:39:00.000-08:00

see how the colours of the ribbon makes a difference to the overall look and feel of the bridal hand bouquet? Colors, indeed play a very crucial part in the way you want your entire get-up to be presented...

see how the brown in the ribbon adds up and gives a more striking edge to the bouquet and how the cream colour in the ribbon mellows a more feminine look in the bouquet...colors is major indeed xoxo

A weekaway in quaint Melbourne

2010-03-09T18:34:00.000-08:00

“Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” - freya stark -

Yes, so I am off travelling to the quaint city of Melbourne come this Sunday and will be back to reality the next....

Have a great week..... XOXO

I have to pop in, if just for a second, to say that the blog is not being abandoned! I promise! I also want to say “hi” to any new visitors that may be stopping by. It’s been a bustling time for us, and we are so grateful for all of the new visitors, orders, and encouraging comments and emails. Thank you so, very much! Our main goal is to stay as creative and personal as possible, because that’s how we roll (for a good 9 years already). There’s no factory, no giant warehouse; just a handful of people working hard and searching diligently to find the most unique and magical touch....
I’m very excited for the future of this little company, there’s still so much to do and also so much to be thankful for. Thank you again, for being here and coming along for the ride!

Eye Candy

Everyone was in absolute awe of the dessert table and it was definitely the ‘wow factor’ of the party! ..... Lovely

2009-07-09T22:10:00.000-07:00

Peonies are my absolute favorite flower. They smell as gorgeous as they look and as all good things must come to an end, they have a torturously short season.

Nothing is Perfect

2009-04-08T19:51:00.000-07:00

Old items, like this tarnished chair, have at least nine lives, imparting more and more vintage style with each passing trend. Think twice before repainting it as it carries with it many years of character and personality.... Authentic.

Welcome Spring

2009-04-08T19:36:00.000-07:00

Create this centrepiece for your easter table, not only does it add colours to your table, the little chocolate eggs in pastel colours are also a welcome treat for your guests.

Last night Karen told me that she wanted a white theme birthday bash for Jill... Oh, I just love to express my interpretation of a baby's birthday party in White theme and share with her...

When it's in "White", don't do the White too seriously. Can be Grey White, Blue White, Green White or Butter White ie Milk & Honey -- Paired with cream and a few touches of the palest grey and some dots of yellow which is playful and cheerful, rather than overly dramatic.

Also a variety of fun patterns adds to the playfulness of this look.

Mood: whimsical, bright
Palette: Apricot, cream, touches of pale grey

Pink Lemonade

2009-04-06T02:37:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love the different pink hues? Such colours contribute to the shabby chic affair and make it absolutely stunning, with layers upon layers of gorgeousness.

Tea

2009-03-26T23:46:00.000-07:00

Tea is a wonderful thing.....

The Japanese "Way of Tea" describes the first sip as consolation, the second as ectasy and the third, contentment. I think a good strong cup of Japanese Green tea with a simple "digestive biscuit" is a small experience of heaven on earth. I'd love to drink mine under those lovely roses with the Japanese lanterns.

Home Coming

2009-03-26T23:31:00.000-07:00

Did you think I was ever coming back? I know it was a long absence but I guess it was needed. The holidays came and went without feeling particularly holiday-ish. And here we are now...

So how have all of you been doing? Hope that the holidays went well for everyone. And "THANK YOU!" to all of the sweet well wishes in my absence. Cheerios.........

A little something

2009-03-03T22:42:00.000-08:00

I am so in love with flowers, especially the scented kind.

The softness of jasmine, the delicate line of a rose, the simplicity of a frangipani or the gentle contours of the freesia all bring a smile to face every time I lay my eyes (or nose) upon them.

Take me to a nursery and I'm like a kid in a candy store and I just love this pic - they're exactly as I'd like my heaven to be... It's such a beautiful space - the kind that fills the heart - simple, relaxed and non-pretentious. Just beautiful, without trying too hard..... Divine.

Pretty Innocence

2009-02-19T21:18:00.000-08:00

This is another bouquet I made that are striking in a sweet and innocent way. Lovely! On a day that's kind of grey with the promise of rain this afternoon, daydreaming of lolling about in grassy fields....These flowers also make me think of goddesses of spring. So soft and sensuous!

Flower Love Affair

2009-02-19T21:06:00.000-08:00

My love affair with flowers continue though I have been missing in action in my blog life currently. Apologies for not writing these past few weeks, things has got the better of me and kept me overwhelmed.

Nevertheless, I present here one of my very favourite bouquet combi of ice-pink peonies with white hydregeans and "lace-edeged" tulips and a touch of black.... understated drama indeed.

Flowers in a used tin

2009-02-09T03:07:00.000-08:00

I hold dear and close the big things in life like love, family, friendships, and relationships. I also believe they are all enhanced by the little things.

The little things in life...Those little trickets or thoughts that we hang onto. be it a shoe box in your closet or the attic.... Special paper and photographs in your desk drawers. A dish or an ingredient that you are cherishing to the last crumb.

A lot of the little things that bring a smile on my face.... you can guess, often related to food, flowers and little odds & ends.

Simply a task of slicing lemons almost always makes me want to drop a couple of slices in a hot cup of tea.... brings me a relief in a hectic day...

Little things like that make me vibrate, keep me alive, keep me going......

Dream a Little Dream

2009-02-04T03:45:00.000-08:00

A friend asked me if since I am already running my own business, do I still harbour any dreams?

Yes of course........................but reality is finally better than daydreaming if you are in love.

February Romance

2009-02-02T22:40:00.000-08:00

Howdy my readers, my apologies for not updating recently.....

Peaceful. Dreamlike. Foggy. Gauzy. Love. This is in the air of February.

That's right, Valentine's Day is just one week away... just think of colour palette that is chalky, dove grays, pinks and lavenders as calm and serene as a rare afternoon spent daydreaming of your Valentine.....Sweet.
