Happy New Year!🎉❤

2021 was rough but here we are! Let's kick 2022's butt!

So very thankful for you all. You have no idea how you all have helped get me through this past year. It will be better this year. I put it out there in the universe. Let's continue to be kind to one another and help each other. Stay safe out there my lovely people! ❤

I know what I'm thankful for! I'm thankful for all of you and all the support you all have given me with my little business. Without you all, I wouldn't have had the drive or the inspiration to actually do something like this; to turn an occasional hobby that I enjoy into something that I am really putting my heart into. I truly am thankful for all of you! ❤ 🍂🍁🦃

I'm going to be closing shop for a bit to catch up on orders, to celebrate my son's birthday, and to prep for Thanksgiving with the family so I most likely will not be taking any new orders until after Thanksgiving weekend. Please take care, be kind to each other and stay safe! Love you guys!😘

Current orders will be going out soon! Thank you all so much for your patience. Peace and blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Fall Y'all! My most favoritest time of year! I'm going to be closing shop for a few days starting tomorrow evening (Thursday 10/7) to catch up on orders, to celebrate my birthday, and to prep for an upcoming local sweets and treats pop-up event (if you're interested in coming, let me know!) where I will have several of my Filipiniana goodies available for purchase. I will be available here on IG and on my FB page but most likely will not be taking any new orders until after October 16. Please take care, be kind to each other and stay safe! Love you guys! 😘

Happy Friday all! Haven't posted anything in a bit, life has just been pretty busy, you know how it is. I've added two new masks to the store. Sampaguita inspired! I am so obsessed with these flowers. They're just so pretty! 😍 Check them out! They're located in the embroidered mask listing and the Filipiniana inspired mask listing. Take care, be safe and be kind to one another! ❤

I had the privilege of creating a custom Filipiniana-inspired Arras pouch for the Las Arras ritual part of an upcoming wedding ceremony. I didn't really know the significance of the ritual since I was born here and all so of course I had to research it! Truly amazing to learn something new about my culture and it made me feel even more honored to be able to make something special for this beautiful couple!

The Arras coin ceremony/ritual, according to linandjirsa.com,
"Exactly 13 Arras, or coins, are carried in a pouch and brought to the altar by the coin sponsors. The Arras are then blessed for the groom to gift his bride as he promises the welfare of her and their future family. Traditionally, the promise is made by the groom, however, today’s couples are more mutually supportive than ever before. The coins are an emblem of their future children and before the church, the bride and groom promise their care and love."

Isn't it so romantical? What can I say? I am a sucker for love! And I live for the opportunities when a customer reaches out to me for custom pieces because I truly love working with others to bring to life something that they have in mind and something that will hold a special place in their hearts. And admittedly, I also love being a little part of that special memory. I know, I know lol!

Thank you Sheila and Alex! Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials and wishing you both a lifetime of love! ❤

Y'ALL! I DID A THING! Just to see if I could do the thing lol! This is my entry for 2021 Design Awards! Now I know that masks usage is starting to phase out but I am still pretty darn proud of this design and I don't even mind if I get an honorable mention. Shoot. To think that I couldn't even sew at the beginning of 2020! I know there are waaaaaaay more cooler stuff that can be found on Etsy and waaaaaaay more talented designers and artists but it never hurts to give it a try because you really have nothing to lose! So never stop doing the things you love! Good talk!

In the words of the infamous Donnie Simpson: "It's Friiiiiiiiiddddaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!" I've added new Sampaguita inspired items to the store such as bangles with different initial charm options, adjustable rings, hair combs, and necklaces, all available in either silver or gold finishes. Please stop by for a visit! Please stay safe and hydrated out there. It's hot out there y'all! ♥
