♥Bliss Is

a) enjoying my new kitten! Halley Boo is growing up really fast and it is fun to watch her developing her own character and personality. She is really feisty and as like all cats, always know the best place in the house to sleep. She is really sweet too, always being there just hanging around us, accompany us when we work or study!
 She really knows how to make herself VERY comfortable..
Her very own faux fur bed.
Yes, she talks a lot too. She is telling me how she is crave for her favorite fish snack.
She loves to hang around on my lap while I surf!
She gets a bath every two weeks, she is really good, hardly struggle!

Yap, I was so amused to see her on her pink furry blanket, just keeping Beautiful Geek company when he is studying!
She like MTV too, after she ate, she actually would chill out here watching TV!
She loves my big white furry sweater!
Acting coy !


b) going to Melbourne!!!! My soul sister Lilien is migrating to Australia and she is hunting out jobs and apartments. I really wanted to spend some good quality girl time with her, this is a good time and chance to do so! Will be heading for Melbourne in May! If you guys have any places I MUST SHOP IN, please let me know!!!! Any Etsy sellers with B&M stores, please let me know! I would love to visit and SHOP!!




c) buying some fun stuff on ETSY!!!  This week, I spend some money buying some items that I had been eying for awhile!

♥ Bella Spain !

Antennas in SevilleBy wearethree


I wanted to blog about a particular country sellers for the longest time! SPAIN! Oh,how I love their crafts and wonderful handiwork! There aren't much of them, I did a Local search and it came up only 9 pages of sellers. I feel they are one of the most colorful and vibrant culture around. I really want to go Spain one day but I always end up in France ( guilt trips...;P). Anyway, here are some of my favorites from various Spanish sellers. Let me take you on a trip to Spain wearing my old jersey tee shirt and cotton pants with my cat on my lap. Let me pretend I am from some fancy magazine and I am doing an Editor's Favorite Page. LOL!!!! This is one of the big perk of having my own blog! First we'll drink some sangria, stop for shoes, bags and accessories !

Lovely Little Red Riding Hood sneakersBy zampatillas.etsy.com

Editor's Notes : I am a fan of drawn on sneakers and but till now I can't seems to find a decent pair. These however looks really fun! I like the fact the cartoon are drawn and colored very neatly and nicely. I think I will seriously consider buying this pair.

Silk brooch - Leaves

Both By gilbea 

Editor's Notes : I always felt Spanish designer emphasis a lot on bold colors and classic clean elegant cut on their work. These two items are simply lovely, they look like they could have came from an expensive boutique. Will think about getting the brooch for my sister-in-law who work as a lawyer, this should compliment her jackets nicely.
