Spotted Tuesday: Yellow

Happy Tuesday!
Here we are on the last week of July and I'm spotting beautiful handmade products in yellow.
Yellow is such a great color that can work with other colors perfectly. It's often associated with sunshine and gold.

Interestingly, yellow plays such an important role in  Asian culture, particularly in China. Yellow is the Yin and Yang, the center of everything. The Chinese believes yellow brings good luck and it is such a prestigious color that you would see that in the olden days, yellow or gold decorates royal palaces and temples. Emperors would also wore yellow robes.

What is your preference? Bold and bright yellow? Or soft pastel yellow? I can't decide really. Bright yellow definitely reminds me of summer season, while softer yellow makes me think of babies. Ha!

All of these products below can be found at Artfire.

Train with Clouds Decal set from SimpleShapes . I love everything in this shop! And the banner, oh so cute! This decal would be perfect to decor little boy's room, nursery or kids play room. I know my mine would want this for him if he was younger.

And how about these Burp Cloth Changing Pads from PooLouDesigns.
The fabrics are so soft and very absorbent! "Be stylish when you are out with your little one!"

I'm in love with this summer dress card! You can get this gorgeous card at cardsbylibe.
More cards available at Lisa's shop. With so many varieties, I'm sure you will find one you are looking for. If not, talk to her and she will make it happen :-)

How about some lemons, everyone? Take a look at this pretty Lemon Grove Bracelet by NightOwlJewelry. I have to say I'm loving the shop banner too (I can't resist the cuteness of owls!).

One of jewelry artisans whose work I admire is Umeboshi. Her Dichroic Fused Glass Wire Wrapped Pendant is simply stunning. "Wear this when you want to sparkle and attract attention. This would be a great pendant to wear to an art opening or party." I would agree on that!

ShadowDogDesigns is also one talented artist I found at Artfire. This Sonoran Sunrise earrings (perfectly named, I'd say) is made of Copal, turquoise and sterling silver. I like its simplicity and by that makes the yellow nicely pop out.

And last but not least, these cute Bumble Bee Favor Tags from my shop, adorebynat. These Bee Tags are perfect for birthday or baby shower parties. Each is 2 inch in diameter.

Hope you all have been enjoying your summer!

Spotted Tuesday: Green

Spotted Tuesday is back!

For the longest time, I have put 'Spotted Tuesday' to rest. I honestly can't recall when the last Spotted Tuesday was posted. Slowly I also abandoned my blog ...  you know, when life happened. Well, until now, life happens and that's the nature of it. I really want to get back to the blogging routine and I hope I do have what it takes to keep it going.

So without further ado, this week I'm spotting things GREEN! After all, Summer is here!

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is one of the most charming, adventurist stories that gains its popularity with adults and children.  No wonder it has been a popular theme for wedding and baby shower parties.  With that in mind, I have created these teabag favors that are perfect for any kind of parties.

Different images of many characters such as Alice herself,  March Hare,  the Hatter, and  Dormouse, Caterpillar, The Queen of Hearts and many more are included in this set.

Here are a set of Alice in Wonderland teabag favors I've completed recently. My client requested different ribbons and teas to be used.

 Personalization is such a trend too and giving you more personal touch. Here is an example set of personalized teabag favors.

You can find many Alice in Wonderland themed goods out there. 

Summer themed Tags and Toppers

I hope you have been enjoying the summer. In Asia where I currently am now, it is summer all year around. I would rather stay inside and have the air con on. I sometimes long for rains. But I do miss the summer season in Canada. The good news that I am going back to our home soon eventhough it is only for a little while. 

What I love about Summer in Canada, or  Vancouver Mainland, British Columbia to be exact, is the beautiful mountains and seas we are surrounded and many different outdoor activities we can do during summer. It is one of beautiful places in the world, I must say. 

This year, we are planning to do a road trip to Kelowna or Penticton, and maybe do some fruit pickings. My in-laws and little man who haven't done these before would be thrilled.

I can't wait to do some BBQ-ing like what we had in the previous years. And conveniently enjoying the very nice view of the golf course behind our backyard.

With that in mind, I created these cute BBQ or picnic favor tags.

 

Many different images are included in this set, all fun things you could enjoy during summer. Who doesn't love ice cream, sweet watermelon and delicious hotdog? I am all for it. Lol.

And of course, we shall get cupcakes as well and adorn them with summer-themed cupcake toppers.

What is your favorite thing to do in Summer?
