Beautiful Things from Sayuri - Part 2

The photos took a while as I discovered our DSLR is not working. *sigh* I know it probably only needs a maintenance trip to Canon but one part of me thinks I need a new camera. 

Anyway, let's take a peek at my package, shall we?

Unwrapped!

A very pretty pink flower ring. My favorite in the package!

Delicate lace earrings. I love the rhinestone dangle in this one. 

Vintage necklace. I love the brass-toned pendant with a picture of flowers in the middle.

There is another item in the package, a bookmark.. which I think is way too pretty to be a bookmark :) I had to buy a beautiful book to match a bookmark that pretty before I dare take a photo. 

My favorite color has always been pink. 

What? Really? You didn't know that? Well it is. So I LOVE that there are a lot of pink elements in my accessories. Thank you so much again Divya and congratulations again on your blog's anniversary. Looking forward to more years of your beautiful inspiration.

Beautiful Things from Sayuri - Part 1

Last December, my blogger friend Divya celebrated her blog's 5th anniversary with giveaways. Divya is a talented jewelry designer behind Jewels of Sayuri and I have always loved visiting her blog to see the beautiful things she makes. I joined the jewelry giveaway and imagine my surprise when a few days later, I got an email from her saying I won.

I won... yes... me who never really wins anything much, WON!

*insert happy dance here*

And today, the package arrived!!

All the way from India.

Inside the package...

Don't you just love her business card?

And inside the box? Coming soon next week. I want to take nice photos to do justice to my prizes and right now, I only have my camera phone. 

Can't wait to try them on!! :)

Back to School

It's back to school for us, and Andi's little friends too.

Andi said that the little bear is her. That's her favorite.

I got the Kindergarten Music School set from sulit.com.ph from a very nice seller, tesl. The set came with the school, the school bus, the Chiffon Dog mother, and 4 babies. Great deal huh? The price wasn't so bad either... just a little over the price of a brand new school bus if you buy it at the mall :) The other babies I bought brand new from the mall.

Now I wish the going back to school part for Andi was just as happy and scenic as it was for her friends but no... she didn't want to go back. She threw a tantrum as I was about to leave her at school... complete with screaming, lying on the floor and kicking. It's the same old scene we go through everytime she has to go back to school after a long vacation.
