 Hello Loves!  Long time no haul.  So let's share something beautiful today.  I got some beautiful embroidered jewellery pieces in the mail yesterday.  Two gorgeous brooches and two pendant. All from Rainbow Tales by Rhichita.  This is my second time getting something from her and I am very impressed with everything I got.  First up are these stunning brooches.  The one above is originally was a earring that I felt would be too big for me and not something I'd wear often, so I got her to turn it into a brooch and I love how it's turned out.  Love the colours on this one.  This one I had my eye on for a long time and I am so glad I got it.  Love the mix of pink and orange.  Perfect!  Brooches are perfect!  She also sent me a free bookmark. It's embroidered and so lovely.  This Matsya pendant is a thing of joy.  My sister fell in love with it and we had to have it in our life.  She is tiny but immaculate...

Hello Loves!  Today I want to share some stunning jewellery pieces from Label Maati.  This is my second time getting something from her and her jewellery is truly special.    A bird brooch.  My sister has a thing for birds and so we had to get it.  An over view of everything we got.  Love these earrings.  The good thing is that they are super light weight so wearing them will not be a problem.  Then we have these two gorgeous necklaces.  The one above is a unique design and wonderful colour combination of grey and red, I have a feeling it will go with a lot of different things.  This yellow one might be my favourite!  Yellow. Flowers. Circle. Ghungroos.  Perfection!  Poulami makes such things of beauty and is a wonderful person too.  I cannot recommend her enough.  Everything from ordering to delivery is smooth.  Her jewellery is handmade, light weight and aesthetic and one of a kind.  I highly re...

  My friend Meenakshi sent me a very special Birthday gift.  A pendant with a P on it for Pooja.  :)  I love it so much.  My first piece of jewellery ever was a gold pendant with my name on it. It was a gift from my Thamma. when I was born.  Sadly it didn't last very long.  Why you wonder?  Well, because I began teething and chewed it up.  I don't even know how that happens.  But I was one tough and hungry baby so I really chewed up most of it, now all that's left of it it a bit of gold and half of a P.  So this pendant from my soul sister felt like a blast from the past and so full of love.  I wore it on my birthday and felt all dressed up and fancy, a change since most of my days in the past year have been dressed in comfy home clothes and little to no jewellery barring my everyday silver.  So it felt good to feel a tad bit dressed up on my birthday and wear something a very dear friend sent me.  :)  It's from ...

  Some birthday Bling.  A very thoughtful gift from my friend Meenakshi. An alphabet pendant from Prerto.  I wore it today and felt a little bit fancy and dressed up after months!  A dollie.  A new friend, her name is Tuntuni and she is a thing of joy and beauty and oodles of cuteness.  My sister got this super adorable doll from SewMe Dolls and I am so in love.  A birthday cake.  A Piggy who was cute and yum!  Some birthday reading.  Ruskin Bond on my birthday is a little bit of a tradition.  Read this book in one sitting and it gave me quite a few helpful pointers on How To Be A Writer.  My birthday was a quiet and happy one.  Reading.  Cake.  Yummy Food.  And so many birthday wishes and love.  I feel incandescently happy and grateful to be here and alive and well and I feel so loved.  It's been a good one!  Thank You  & More Please!

Hello Loves!  My Monday was off to a marvellous start thanks to some very happy mail from The Chandi Studio.   I came across this shop on IG last week and decided to treat myself to some my first silver jewellery of the year.  I was in the market for some small pendants to wear on the daily, my everyday pendent if you will.  The little elephant was love at first sight and I needed it in my life.  :) The little flower with these shiny shiny stones was also perfect to wear everyday.    Their packaging honestly blew me away. What a nice little box!  :)  Love the design and illustrations on the box.  The many moments of Jaipur, where the studio is based out of.  These are the pendants.  A little elephant. & A flower.  So perfect. 

Hello Loves!  Starting this first Monday of the Year with some beauty i.e. some flowers, well pressed flowers.  I spotted Rooh and Flowers on IG and loved her stuff, and if you know me at all, you know my weakness towards flowers and pressed flowers. So you know I had to get some stuff.  For weeks a lot of the stuff I wanted was constantly sold out, then finally on Christmas, I got lucky and got two things from her. And they arrived today.    Flowers and some Queen Anne's Lace.  :)  So retro and vintage and lovely.  The two beauties sitting together.  Looking fine.  If you're wondering about the book, it's The Adventures of Feluda Vol.I by Satyajit Ray.  Bougainvillea beauty.  I love love love this.  This guy was love at first sight.  You can find her on IG HERE.  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Hope you had a good start to the week and this first Monday of 2021 was a good one.
