It’s been a busy day. While waiting for the power supply repair to complete,  I was  flipping through some fashion magazines, checking out these colourful and artistic shoulder bags from Floto. This quintessential bag caught my eye for its vibrant colours and patterns. Handmade in Northern Italy using patterned cotton canvas and matching leather trim [...]

let’s have fun with christmas crackers!

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I am a fan of Christmas decorations. I love the blinking lights and the beauty of glittering ornaments mixed with bright shades of red and gold. Just imagine this, every household can be given the same ornaments, yet, it is unlikely that any two will look the same. I love the fact that for one [...]

It’s always nice to receive personalized cards during the holiday season especially those with photos of families and friends.

pick your costume for your Halloween party

Part of the fun as a child is attending school plays, dressed up parties and school concerts. I remembered those times where I looked forward to dress up like a princess and parade on the stage in the fancy dress concert. Some of my school mates would be dressed in their fanciful costumes too. One [...]
