Ever since I was little, I've love jade stones. My mom used to give me her jade jewelry and made a collection out of them. I still collect them until now. I was born in the year of the Dragon and these are my lucky charms according to my birth year. I ordered the charms online and made the bracelet myself.

Below are my 60 plus orders that are going to be shipped out tomorrow. A customer ordered 30 of the Dream Catcher bracelets and I'm very excited about this.

All 30 dream catcher bracelets in one box. Thank you for your orders!

This one's a custom order. The customer requested purple beads instead of the red ones.

Over all, I had a super busy week and I love it! Thank you so much for your orders! I am very inspired to make your jewelry and I love that you love it! :)

I had the best time with my family yesterday in NYC! My cousin and her friend visited from California so we spent a memorable day with them. First, we met up at Bubba Gump for lunch in Times Square and tried to catch up since the last time we saw each other in 2009.

Our next stop was the beads store on 6th Ave and got some supplies.

We went down China Town and had some bubble tea, and my husband got me more lucky cats to add to my collection.

love my handmade hat from Nepal <3

I just had to share this picture my brother took! 

He definitely has an eye for photography.

Max Brenner has been our favorite place to eat simply because my husband and I love anything chocolate. Every time family and friends come over from different places, we have to take them to Max Brenner.  It's now becoming a tradition. Not only they serve chocolate desserts, they also serve different entrees that will absolutely satisfy hungry stomachs!

To end our day, we picked up a red velvet cupcake from Crumbs on 42nd Ave.

Crumbs best seller, so it's worth trying!

Between my job as a nurse and jewelry making, it was a great escape to spend time with my family, I always have a blast and it's always a memorable one. Being with my family is the best thing! :)

Until next blog!

Loving Earth Colors!

I love the vibrant colors of earth tones! So I put together browns and reds with gold highlights, and a turquoise center piece. I've pretty much based my designs with earth colors and I love it's lustrous beauty! I mix different colors of metals and beads and in the end, it all comes together perfectly!

Magic Kingdom

We're here in Florida and we're having a blast! Today, we went to Disney's Magic Kingdom and they didn't call it magic for nothing! Everything about it is absolutely magical and I became a kid again. It's pretty crowded for this time of the year and wish we can come back tomorrow. Here are some pictures taken today.

My 2011 Re cap

Happy New Year again everyone! As we welcome the year 2012, I have so many things that I am thankful for for 2011.

In the beginning of 2011, I introduced the Crochet Line which lasted for a few months. Then I concentrated in making more jewelry and finally found my niche and style. 

I listed the shop's first bangles, bag design, feathers jewelry, mood rings, toggle necklaces of which most of these were sold out.

In March 2011, I made the very first Dream Catcher Bracelet which was placed on Tumblr and garnered over 31,000 notes and still going. Someone emailed me and told me that she posted it on Pinterest.com and it's all over the site (: Thank You! It is still my best selling item to date.

In May 2011, I build my dream art studio in our basement. I never thought I would spend so much time down our basement (: 

In the beginning of 2011,  I started having 1-2 orders a month to having many dozens per month! I thank everyone who had supported me in my journey... every follow from Twitter, every like from FB, emails, pictures you send, the wonderful comments I get, and personal letters I received from all over the world counts and is appreciated. I THANK YOU.

 I had a blast reaching out to people all over the world with my jewelry and in my business, nothing is better than making people happy. This fuels me more in creating new designs. I look forward to doing that over and over again! 

Over all, my 2011 was a great. I cannot wait for what 2012 will bring and whatever it is, it is going to be amazing!

Wishing you all good health, happiness and prosperity for the year 2012!
