Small Treasures

Other photographs of my vintage notions/haberdashery collections, some of them had been my props for these pictures. I took them in a same period, using different settings

Above are a small batch of my vintage plastics and glass beads and buttons. And below is also a small batch of my vintage mother-of-pearl buttons and plastics buttons, lace and ribbons



Okay, maybe it was too under-exposured, too shadow-y. I should put more focus on them

I have too many ideas in my head about what should I do with all those yummy pretties. Well, for me, nowadays, too many ideas can mean do nothing

Some ideas for using vintage beads/buttons/notions

{OOT} One of my muse, Danielle Laporte wrote a good sum-ups on "Credo for Making it Happen", and my favorite is number 10 : Do what you say you're going to do. You can download and print it here

Things that I Missed

For you that had emailed me asking whether I was okay, thank you so much for your love and attention. I was okay, fine and healthy. My job took me over for almost a month and a half. You can see me posted only four posts at March, and all the hectic started at the middle of March, and (finally) ended last week. Pheuww... Was there anything that I missed ? Ha.. not much, but some of my procrastinations caused me a lot of trouble

I missed to pay my domain renewal invoice that caused www.myinnocentia.com couldn't be accessed since April 28 until today (I have paid the bill yesterday). I'm really glad that I don't have to pay any additional fees

I missed to sew a birthday gown my niece, and the fabrics still lay in my bin

I missed to check the number of my blog's followers and I didn't realize 'till today that it had grown into 873. (Thank youuu!!!!)

I missed to moderate the comments, and at the end of April, the number of unmoderated comments was 7 (seven)comments (So sorry...)

I missed to follow kcwc spring 2012 on elsiemarley. Here's some of the projects that I adore :
