This is the post that I mentioned a while ago. Its the post explaining how I kept myself occupied during my first week of uni.
I found this lovely site where the lady makes jewelry which consisted mostly of bracelets and necklaces. It is one of my more girly habit of admiring such trinkets.
Such admiring led to me emailing her which led to me browsing the site for ideas.
Ideas?
What for?
Well ... for a customised piece. To be more precise, for my very own charm bracelet.
I dragged Mokesart into the whole choosing process. My enthusiasm was contagious because soon:
Hanis: Look at this flower, this one and this one too.
Mokesart: Hmm. Oooh. I like the 2nd one but perhaps in blue.
Yes. It took most of 2 days.
The lady was very nice, patient with my demands.
Hanis' Demands
8 very specific charms, completed with the various links of each one from her blog.
The arrangement style, which certainly took me some time to look for. There were like, a bajillion styles. It was like being in a bookstore filled with every single book that will ever interest me.
The whole ordering part took about 3 days. Payment followed (50 ringgit including delivery) and then it was made. Delivered but then ... the postman came over when no one was home. So today, I went to pick it up and I just love it.
Here's some pictures of it:
Yes, those are a H, cookie jar, carousel, castle, bunch of keys, globe, book and a feather.
H- Hanis
Cookie jar- The temptations of life which I sometimes, dip my had into.
Carousel- The child in me.
Castle- It reminds me of Cinderella's castle which of course reminds me of one of to-do things. Go to every single Disney theme park.
Bunch of keys- I'm the one holding the keys to my happiness, my dreams and my success.
Globe- I'm going to travel the world one day.
Book- My first love, reading.
uill- My second love, writing.
Yes, this charm bracelet is very personal to me.
Here's another picture.
Haha.
I encourage you to visit her blog and Etsy. Perhaps you'll find something you like (yes, she deliver internationally).

That is a lovely bracelet :) Even more so because so much thought went in to it.
