A New Baby

Who said there's more free time on hand when one isn't working? I'm getting busier each day, though I'm not holding onto a 'proper' 9-to-5 job.

That is because I was roped in to dabble in another venture - a women's fashion blogshop. Same as managing Le Trésor Caché, running a second online store means MORE measuring, MORE phototaking, MORE listing, MORE shipping, other than the usual sourcing & pricing tasks.

This fashion blogstore - Sartorially Yours (sartoriallyyours.bigcartel.com) is where you can get your daily dose of fashion! You can expect clothing and accessories emancipating understated chicness. All of them are so versatile for you to mix and match to create a stylish look to call your own.

Collection 2 is coming real soon! Join us on Facebook to get the latest updates!

I Have A Thing For Glass

On a recent vacation, I brought back a couple pieces of beautiful glassware. I don't know what triggered me, but suddenly I spot a l-i-t-t-l-e fancy for glassware, especially faceted glass.

Introducing my fragile darlings...

A set of vintage tall amber glasses with rose prints.

I love the colour, rose prints on both sides of the glass & the faceted base.

Two tall clear glasses...

The faceted base caught my eye.

Found this in a cookware shop. I was looking for a glass cookie jar. I love those words on the jar. Makes it look so vintage.

And my most wonderful glass find are these...

A set of vintage whisky bottles by Brama Davidson, a glass manufacturer in England which has already closed down in the 1990s. 

Little brass signs hanging on the bottle neck.

The bottles have markings of Brama Davidson England

I didn't mind all of them traveling with me on a 7-hour plane ride. I'm just so glad I found these treasures.

And my hunt for glass continued last weekend.

The vertical lines on the dome-shape jars are so vintage-like.

I haven't thought of what to use them for yet...

And a small glass platter.

Notice the fleur de lis?
