No. I haven’t fallen prey to Valentines Day hype… yet. What I have fallen in love with is the whole concept of romanticism and nostalgic whimsy in design and handmade goods.
I have never been a “girly” girl ever but the past few days I have gotten so hooked to romantic, Victorian and vintage style finds on Etsy. Some of the creations are so gorgeous it just hurts my brain to even think about them.
Like these earrings on Etsy by missficklemedia

and these earrings by serendipity2twenty2
Isle of Capri.. gorgeous Amazonite earrings
Suddenly I find that I LIKE flowers! A whole lot of them! Blooms all over the place.
These just drive me nuts:

Am I the only one who likes vintage chic? Do any of you share my current addiction?? Can Steam-punk and Vintage Chic be the next big thing Indian Jewelery needs?

Will post pics soon… - Like my header image? If you’ve visited this blog before, you’ll notice the change. This bright, peppy header was custom designed for me by a friend (who’s artistic talents are going up in Smoke, literally
). I’ve already mentioned this in my wishlist, but I’ll say it again – Thanks a bunch Varun for designing my blog header…For those who want to see the serious side of Varun, catch him at fossiloflife here. - I’ve been posted to another outskirts-of-city type of office and that doesn’t leave too much time for crafting
so you may not be seeing many posts for the next two months..But I’ll be back..
