Been working on a few things, one of which was a donation to the raffle for our ho'ike. Here is a pic and description: Sculptural glass flowers in the most delicate colors of rose pink, marigold yellow, and white coconut, adorn this lovely necklace. Coordinated with sterling and fine silver .925-.999, and Swarovski® crystals. This was truly created with aloha as the original was a gift for our halau hula's first ho'ike (recital). Hope you like it whomever won it:)
We have some free jewelry for you today. Seriously, no buying involved, just our thanks for visiting our blog. These two earrings will be offered on our etsy shop. Just click on the picture of our jewelry gallery and it will take you to the shop. Thanks for stopping by:)
I think that it's time for a freebie soon. I was thinking of doing a PIF (pay it forward -an act of kindness to some stranger, who, in turn, reciprocates with another stranger) but giving jewelry away is not really a random act but something more intentional. A random act IMHO is more like opening the door for someone or picking up something that someone dropped. And also, I believe that a gift should not have any attachments as with a PIF. So, stay tuned for something like this in the future either on our website or etsy shop. Anyways, if you're looking for eye candy, here are some vintage beaded earrings that are a little different than what we usually make.
I am afraid that I am a bad blogger. It has been awhile hasn't it?!! I never know quite what to say and so procrastination seems to get the best of me. We recently purchased some really nice smoky quartz and agate gemstones that are going to be utilized in some of our jewelry designs. The new pics are a couple of examples of what we've done so far. They're not very springish but some people don't like pinks and pastels so we always try to make things that all our customers would like. Or that we think they would like. Anyways, stay tuned for more goodies and feel free to leave a comment on what you would like to see. We love custom requests:)
In the meantime, here is a funny video by the Black Eyed Peas. It's not something that you would see on MTV as it is sung in Tagalog, one of the member's native tongue. Granted it has been out for a while, but since I am over the hill and out of the loop, I just recently saw this. My brother has it on his myspace and when I first saw it, I could not stop cracking up. If you know or have any Filipino members in your family, you will definitely relate to the beginning.
These late night posts are starting to affect me. There are dark circles under my eyes, sluggishness during the day, and lovehandles around the waist. Oh, wait a minute, that's from the girl scout cookies:) Alas, nothing that a little/ a lot of coffee and makeup won't fix. At least there is only one more day til Friday. Here's the matching necklace to the earrings "Morado". I still need to write a description and something fab that will entice you into purchasing it. Of course, you can save me from the work and just buy it anyways:)
It is a very special time of year for us -Girl Scout Cookies are here:). We have been very good so far- and have only purchased 2 boxes of Samoas and 1 box of Do-si-dos. Unfortunately, that was all the cash we had on hand. Alas, on the ride home (from purchasing them) one box was already gone and the rest were consumed by the next day. Those kids of mine:) I... must ...have ...must... have... more... cooooookies!!!!!! They are so addicting to us that in previous years, we have been known to consume around 15 boxes. Poor hubby, he probably gets to eat one box to himself:)
Anywayz, here is something new from us- oxidized sterling silver w/ black and red swarovskis. As soon as we think of a name for them, they'll be up on our website and etsy.com.
I can talk your ear off in person but I never know what to "say" online. So, it will probably take a few more posts until I write these long winded blogs that other people seem to easily undertake. For now, I'm more comfortable in showing you our pretties:) Freshwater pearls on sterling silver 925. Now available on http://www.adornmentsbymilani.com/
Is there anyone out there? :) Here's our most recently made bracelet. It's not on the website yet as I have to think of a name/title first. Any suggestions?
Welcome and thanks for visiting our blog. Prepare to be served with jewels, food, and a little bit of humor. Enjoy your stay and hope to see you again soon.
