Of Dreams & Rainbow

I started out on a project few weeks ago with a piece of wood, a can of spray paint, nails, lots of colourful strings and a single word in mind. It was an attempt on an 'Inspiration Statement' for the wall. 

I'm not quite sure which wall to have it hung yet, but I do know I wanted a wall of inspiration(s). This piece would be my first and I wanted it to be 'not perfect' but not too shabby as well. So I chose a piece of 1cm thick wood that isn't perfect. It has a one and half inch cut through it and some lifted 'skin' on the surface. This piece of wood was perfect I think.


I chose this word for a reason and it took me 40 minutes at the store picking out the string colours and laying out the colour sequence over and over again. Mum waited for me outside the store, but came in halfway through with her arms folded distinctively asking me to 'hurry up already!'; mentally :P I know her body language well enough. But I think that was because she didn't know what I was up with all those strings and wood.

This piece isn't for sale; but I would be happy enough to make a duplicate or one of similar kind; depending on size, number of alphabets and colours. 

Do you have an inspirational word? What is yours?

Mini Vintage Postcard with Vintage Envelope & Stamps Gift Box

Is your loved one far away? Those who are far away from home really misses their loved ones a lot. Life is too short to be brushing things aside and say ‘maybe next time’ or ‘maybe later’, cherish your loved ones while they are still yours to love and miss. Write to them and send them old style postcards, love notes and letters, it doesn't matter what you write about. Tell them about the latest movie you saw, your job, what you did today, what sort of weekends activities you’re up to, what you cooked for dinner, the latest joke you heard -- anything at all. Above all, tell them you miss them and love them. Don’t worry about your handwriting, spelling or grammar, they really don’t care, just getting mail and cards are a big deal to them (& you) and they know how hard it is to write those themselves too.

Often when I’m away for work or even vacations, I would long to know what my loved ones are doing at that moment, are they sleeping the mornings away? Are they out running errands, are they thinking about having freshly bake orange muffins with hot steamy cup of coffee? Or are they just hanging out with some friends? Either way, whatever it is, I would love to know and it makes me feel closer to home too and wherever the heart is. 

Whenever you thought of something to say, any time of the day, pen it down, even if it is random; It will light up his/her face even if it’s just a simple handwritten note that says, “I Love You” or ‘I Miss You”

These are Vintage Postcards complete with its vintage envelopes & stamps. They come in a box with a string to have the cards clipped up on your walls or deck to remind you & your loved ones how much they have been missed while they are away (even just for a few hours!)

 




Each Set consists of:
20pcs of Vintage Postcard
10pcs of Vintage Envelopes
12pcs of Vintage Stamps (Re-usable)
1 pc of Rope
1 pc Gift Card Tag
1 pc Gift Box

RM45 per set

Wooden Chalk Clips!

So I just went to Sungai Buluh recently to buy some plants for my new place. And instead of just buying what we intended, we ended up buying other unplanned plants..White Chillies, Applemints, Rosemary, Kum Quats, Lavender, Thyme & those plants I wanted. I don't know its name, but they look like mini tea leaves bunch and they are rounded like parts of snowmen

Anyway, with all these new plants, I wanted to label them like those chalkboard labels in the food market. So I use these chalkboard clips to label them and other stuff around the house, including onions & garlic baskets. They are shabby-chic and oH, so Old-School!


These are about 6.8cm x 4.8cm






They come with a little magnets at the back of the clips, so you can even use these on your fridge with notes to family members, shopping reminders, simple recipes or photos clipped on it. 

RM2.50 each
