Tiny Stackable Bracelet

This week I have been preoccupied by these little bracelets. I have made two of them before in April and I sorta picked up my desire to make more. 

Amongst the six, two of them have names. I'd love you to choose them for me, say, a homework for the weekend? Enjoy your two days of rest! 

Best Friends

All these sentiments had begun last Friday, towards the end of the afternoon, an order came along with a private note asking how long does it take to ship from France to US.  I told her that unfortunately it'll take between one to two weeks.  A week for distribution, I wrote her, and another for an inspection at the duane in the United States, it's their regulation.  

Then a minute after she emailed back, told me that it was her bestfriend's birthday today, and asked me if I can do anything to make it faster. Classic solution, I offered her to ship the product straight to the bestfriend's address.  I asked her, casually, if she would want me to write a special birthday note.  She replied, you know the answer. Yes.

It could have been an everyday package I sent, but I take full credit to be the angel of their valuable friendship. That weekend, I couldn't stop thinking about every special detail things that my bestfriends did for and with me.

I wish I have as much courage as Dee to express what she feels towards her bestfriends.  I can only borrow words that could have been written to you, you know who you are, "You are beautiful inside and out.. I cherish our friendship and time we spent together..."

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
- Anais Nin

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."

Necklace Bracelet in One

Sometimes you just don't feel like owning too many jewelries, this necklace / bracelet can be your solution. Wearable thick on your wrist just like stackable bracelet or one loop over your head, it's for you to decide. 

Second Sale Event on Etsy

Yaay! I celebrate my second sale event on Etsy store. It's been awhile I am an etsy member, but it's only towards the end of 2010 I've ever sold anything here. I've created jewelry since 2005, it's been friends and family who supported me until three years ago I moved to France and have less friends here than back home in Indonesia.  The only connection I know is etsy, so while studying the language, I uploaded the photos and crossing my fingers that anyone would peek into my handmade store.

The first sales experience has been a blast! Finding out that my jewelries are actually liked by other people.  There are so many things going on after last year, I made plenty of friends through etsy teams, and I learn so much about how to promote the product.  In short, come check out my creation! bisous!

Back from Vacation and a Sneak Peak of My New Collection

Hei I am back in France! I started an early summer vacation, from the fourth week of May to the beginning week of July.  I flew to the US to spend two weeks of relaxing quality time with my parents before celebrating my brother's wedding in Arizona.  Then we took a road trip to Vegas and California.  And finally flew to the East Coast to meet with D's big family.  It was a long and fulfilling vacation for us. Flying back home, we asked each other, why do we even stuck in France while everybody we love live in the US. Life is weird and the question stays unanswered. For the moment we know that la France is our home and we are ready to continue our pursuit and excited to built the future together. 

Coming back, I unveil my unfinished project, and there you go after a week of work, in no special order.. 

I have made a couple of thin double-strand bracelet and necklace out of peach fresh water pearl and a heart champagne swarovski crystals for the summer brides. If you don't see it up sooner, please don't hesitate to email me for detail. 

This is my revisited green multiple pendant long necklace  I sold a long time ago. With more color added to the collection, and replace the briolette with a swarovski crystals, this new pendant is smaller but it is brighter. 

And more coming, I still finishing up two or three colors of multiple pendants, the mint and peach is one of them and already up on LBDS.  Have a good weekend!
