♥ MY NEW FABRICS!!!!

Oh my goodness! Today i am so excited I don't even need coffee!!!! All my new fabric arrived today! I am astounded by how many I bought, I think there are over 50 new pieces! I am one of those people who if I see something I like, I buy it in all the colors available!




One of the best thing about living in Shanghai is that there are soooooooo many online stores, I just need to make a cup of coffee, surf and click click click, pay and voila! Next thing I know, the stuff I order arrive right at my doorsteps in 36 hours!

I am such a fabric junkie. No joke, don't ever EVER let me in a fabric store with a credit card! Even if I do not have money, I would ask my friends to lent me, if I am a lone, I would go home, get my purse and go back again. I must have them! Hence, that is why I stay far far away from any fabric store possible! Of course, erm.. hee... I shop online! Oh but nevermind me, I am so happy, I took pictures of some of them. So sorry for bad lighting, the sun set earlier than expected ( so is my excuse ;P).




I am a total zakka addict. I see anything remotely zakka style, I go crazy! I love that feeling, I cannot really describe but that soothing, peaceful vibes I get from it. I have over 300 fabrics and each of them is my prized possession. I use them to make my buttons but everytime I cut a piece, my heart aches. It is silly, the only reasons I bought them is because I want to my buttons! I love making buttons! So therapeutic and I love the creative process!




This batch of fabric is just so awesome! I really love the ones with words, stories style! I will use them for my next batch of buttons for my buttons store. If I have a lot more, I will just carried them in my purse and admire them on and off ( just kidding, I am a addict, not a pervert!) LOL!

♥ Aww.. So Nice Of Ptitebaloue

She added me in her fabulous treasury! Oh do visit her store Ptitebaloue too! She has a lovely collection of knitted soft toys , My items had been in Treasuries before but it the first for my buttons ! *Proud Mummy I Am* . Isn't a nice selection? I love the colors and wonderful selection of items!



You can view the treasury hereI Think I'm In Love here, but hurry, it will expire in 2 days!

♥ My Vintage Button Machine

Ok, got some time, thought I better show off my fabric buttons too! Hee hee, these are my pride and joy! I took so much pain in planning, sourcing for the materials, making them taking pictures of them and listing them! I love fabric buttons and I was so happy when my mum gave me her old one which she had use when she was like 25??? I mean, she is a kick ass seamstress and she had used this machine as part of her craft to help financially support our family. I love her ( my mum) to bits and I love love love this old quaint machine too!

Fabric buttons are not that easy to make and I had an aching wrist to prove it but then ahh....... how pretty they can be!





Oh, yeah.. I have like loads of fabric, lace , buttons shells and whatnots ( taken a picture to show you 25% of it.....) ! Out loud, I am always complaining how I have too much and it mess up my "studio" ( self proclaimed corner of my living room;p) , but inside, I am gleefully enjoying the mess and how the colors are all mixed up and create such a sense of life! So sorry for the lace pictures, did not expect it to turn out so blur.







You can order and purchase them at MyOldFashionButtonMachine
They take sometime to make and I would need 2 to 3 days but if I can complete them ASAP, I will! You can see some of them below.:)

♥ Ahhhh Finally !

I finally got around to create a blog! I had wanted one for the longest time but just never quite know what to say. Then again, I do have plenty to say, some stuff are harsh and not so nice to say but since it is my blog, I hope to be able to think out loud here and post odds and ends of my thought! Of course being a business woman, I want so shamelessly use this to promote all my stores!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Jessie, I am from Singapore and currently I am residing in Shanghai , China as my DH " Dear Husband" ( hence from now he shall also be know as DH) is working here. He is a real cutie and a French. Yes, I had stuffed my face with foie gras last Christmas . Prior to that, we had live in Seoul , South Korea for two and half years. I had use to sell in eBay for two years and ran a pretty successful store selling South Korea accessories and stationery. I sold my eBay store and decide to open an Etsy store ♥ IHeart ♥. I had thought it would be a mini store just selling what I love but erm.. I end up with a big store again! LOL!

Mostly concentrating on South Korea stationery and craft supplies. You can see some of my items here.:)
You would kind of notice ( *blush*) I have like 400 over different deco sticker tapes !!!! And over 400 types of Kawaii cartoon style stickers too!
