My Chandelier Moments

Hi readers,

Ever since I start hunting for the perfect dining lighting for my house, chandelier with shades has always been the number 1 choice. Luckily my husband shares the same liking with me, so hunting for it has always been a fun activity to share. We want something simple, something pastel, something practical and something that can really suits the dining table and the green concept of our dining area I want all that we want but additional thing I want is dangling crystal drooping around it too…shhh….

Our hunting start from Jalan Pudu, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Ampang, Kota Damansara and when we finally found the one that suits the desire and meet the budget : ) , it was in Uptown, PJ. Sorry reader I can’t remember the shop but if you go to uptown area, there is this one row of shops whish cater all sort of lighting and the shop that I choose to buy is kinda of smaller compare to others.

The best part is that this shop can customized the shades by material and colour. In fact when I bought my chandelier it did not come in shades, just the bulb resembling the candle design (it’s nice also without shades but I still want shades..hehe, oh ya the crystal substitutes was a glass, ahh dat will do ..hehe), so the seller make my day when he said ‘ dun worry, if u like the chandelier we can always put the shades on top with just a little extra charge’ so we agreed and a few days later here it is our chandelier , hanging majestically in our humble dining : )

Quick fact :

So I stop by at their place, ask a few question and bought one coz i just cud't resist the design and of coz to taste it : )

-Proud to see the 2 young ladies handling their business, must be home based I guess

-They do take large order as doorgift for wedding or baby shower

-They take orders for hantaran gift too

-Love their creativity playing with different colours and design

-Price range from RM 2.50 - RM 4 each depending on size.

Pomander

Totally madly in lurve with this beautiful flower ball or modernly known as pomander bouquet

:: How I wish every lady in the street will carry this along with them instead of handbags ( sorry dun get me wrong, I’m a big fan of handbag too and can never get enaf of them) but the image of a women walking down the street with sweet floral dress and swinging this pomander around with her is simply adorable..ahaks! I lurve the power of imagination..

:: Its DIY, all you need is stack of flower, ribbon, beads or other matching details and foam or polystyrene ball. Insert ribbon in the middle of the base, stick up the flower to the base ( make sure you cut the flower stem according to the length that you want) , mix and match your creative touch and there you go, ready to swing your ball.

:: If you buy this in any floral shop or gift shop the price is quite expensive merely becoz the quality and type of flower being used, high quality flower and matching details like crystal tassel, pearl beads, silk ribbon and etc will definitely contribute to higher cost, plus theirs skills and workmanship need to be paid too.

:: Pomander bouquet is usually spotted in wedding ceremony, carried by the flower girl or dayang2 ( the malay term) to create that romantic and warm atmosphere. It can also be used as decoration item for your bedroom, bathroom (with scented flower), hallway or even staircase. I place it down my classic wall clock : )

:: A customer of mine ordered 10 units of pomander bouquet for her wedding…and I must say I’m enjoying every bit of involvement in it : ))

My Classic Search

It’s mine! It’s mine…finally I found it. I’ve been searching all over the place for the classics look kerongsang or dokoh. Ramadhan this year, I’ve actually set an eye for one, which is selling at one of the stalls in the Curve, Ramadhan Bazzar, but its way too expensive for me. So I had to close the desire to own it till recently I start my hunt again as I’ll be wearing a soft baby blue lace trim kebaya lining with gold colour satin. It’s sweet but I need more that just a sweet look, I want it to look sweet yet with a bold character into it and this is were the dokoh or kerongsang will play its part.

So for the past few weeks, I’ve start looking through hopping from one shop to the other, or from stalls to stalls and always ended up not buying as it’s too gaudy, too small, too many stones or to bla bla bla…nothing like the perfect classic look that I’ve imagined. Till yesterday, while browsing online and image googling with the word kerongsang & dokoh klasik, Paulini Collection’s name pop up and yes this is it...My search has come to an end. At an instance I feel in love with almost all of their collection. And yes the very same nite, I purchased my 1st Paulini Collection and trust me, there will be more!! Just look at that….ah..klasiknya..
