i think you need some new jewelry

I've been doing a little homework over the past couple of days. My art class is coming up this weekend and we were asked to find images to use in our college pieces. I, of course, am doing a Chinese theme. Surprise, surprise. I will be sure to post the results of my labors next week. However, if my pieces end up looking like a child made them, as I suspect they might, I'll post someone else's work, and just tell you I made it.

So as I have been wandering around the internet looking for inspiration, as I so love to do, I found this bedding.

Folks, let me tell you that the only thing that is holding me back from ordering this right now is the jaw dropping price tag. Just to give you an idea, see the darling little pillow in the first photo? The one with the heart melting little pagoda on it. It's $79.

(Here's the part where I play on your sympathies.) I think a little girl who has spent the first year of her life in a drab, colorless crib deserves this bedding don't you? I think my little china doll needs this bedding. Think of buying Secondsister jewelry as a donation to my nursery fund.

Cherry Blossom Necklace

I'll be listing this little trinket today. It's only $12. I think you need it.

lure of lanterns

For some time now, I have had a "thing" for paper lanterns. Something about them is entirely wistful and romantic. I have been on the hunt for some really great ones to hang over my work bench. I am also thinking they would make a cute stand-in instead of a mobile over Mei Mei's crib.

Here's the latest from the workbench, inspired by my love for lanterns and all things Asian.

Imperial Chinese Lantern Earrings

Sugar Daddy thinks they look more Middle Eastern than Asian.
