You Purchase Earrings, I Send a Diamond


I just love to play with the minimal packaging material and make the best visual out of it. 
Hopefully those who receive what I send will not only enjoy the items they pay for, but also receive a pop of the excitement sealed in the envelopes with their names!

Put Them All Up to the Wall

Finally moved in a new apartment and now trying to get things organized, I start digging through my pin boards and bookmarked pages I've been collecting for inspirations.

All in a sudden I was thinking, if there's too much hassle tucking everything in, why don't I just pull them all out and put them on the wall as decoration? That would make good use of both the objects and, the walls! Now I'm in serious consideration...

It's on until March 4th!


How long haven't I been here? I'm so sorry about the lack of updates! Days have been busy, things are still going... 

Anyways, since I will be off to Asia in about 10 days, half portion of the shop (esp. vintage clothing part) will be "on vacation" for 2 months. Wanted to have some stocks cleared when I can still ship things, so, it's the great time for you to shop the favorite pieces at low costs! 

Check out what's on sale now :) We accept offers of deeper discounts if you pick more, isn't it crazy? Just give me a shout through etsy convos! Ciao~

Candies for My Fingers


Do you have a crave for those colorful and intrigue triangle patterns like kaleidoscope? I have to admit that I can't resist anything as cute as this!

Eva at nomilktoday makes lovely jewelry from necklaces, brooches, rings to bobby pins with polymer clay in all happy colors (I'm sure her studio would look like a part of heaven!), everything is one-of-a-kind design that's handcrafted with love and care. Recently I bugged her to make me a customized double ring and it turns out so cute, can't wait to see it in person and put on my fingers.






If you haven't seen them on Etsy you must have missed out a lot, everything listed in store were sold out so quickly. But no worries, Eva is super friendly and nice to work with, you may wanna convo her for the next custom order and I'm pretty sure you will feel in love with these eye candies too.
