Customized Bracelets - so lovely!

Hello,
just a quick post to show you some more bracelets requested by Deby but this is also a chance to make you think about the meaning of working with other people. Well, I've realized that working on a commission based work is so gratifying. Most of the time you learn from them more than creating yourself. In this case, I would have never thought to add so many details to my bracelets and now I love the look. The beauty in this world is that we are all different with ideas, opinion and style. And yes, we are all inspiration to each other.
Thank you for inspiring me so much!

Muffin Favours I made .... for my son's party

Here's a great and cheap idea for party favours. I made those for my son's baptism. You have a million ways to customize it. I had one night to prepare them so this is what I did. I hope it can inspire you for last minute favours. if you don't have time, just ask me! but only for Italy!

p.s. what a bad shop owner I am.... I forgot to mention that I have more products in store....I promise it's worth a look. Click here! Have a great summer! I'm off to prepare my suitcase :-) Jess

Happy New Year and a fairytale collection

This is just a little post to thank you all of you for staying with me during this past year. You made me realize how much I love blogging, decorations, and most of all to create.

All of you made me smile and always had nice words, giving me strength to continue even during the "after work apathy" :-) where I was too tired to switch on the computer or sit down at my sewing machine.

One thing is sure, cultivating hobbies is the best thing anyone could do especially when your family is already fantastic. It's the best remedy for going insane with all the bad news we hear. And this blog is a place where I want to store all nice things just because I love being here.

A special thanks goes to my hubby too that has been so supportive as well as my son that he's been so patient.

Enough now with soppy thoughts asI've decided to start the New year with a bit of magic and fairytale in my creations. Here's a little preview:

Alice In Wonderland

And now that Christmas is over, I can show you my sister present that took me 5 hours to make...I might be slow with beads but it was really hard to make. I'll be so happy if someone that uses this techniques could give me some tips :-) as I think the result is fantastic!

Necklace for my sister

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Another special cake for a baptism

Hi there,
and Merry Christmas to everybody! I hope you had a great time with your family.
Here in Italy we know how to eat. I feel like a stuffed turkey!
Holiday season should be a relaxing time for everybody but luckily my shop kept me very busy. Apart from the purse holders being sold everywhere in the world, we are still working on gift favours for baptisms. This one was done in blue and grey with a teddy bear theme.

 Each one contains 5 little "confetti" (Italian sweet confectionery) and a little card from the little man just born)

And for each guest, a little key ring/phone charm with a light blue handmade teddy.
This cake was made for 48 people.
If you'd like to have your own favour cake done, don't hesitate to contact us for a quote. Please allow 3 weeks for it to be completed.
Happy Holidays!
