Successful Opening
I'd like to thank you all for the successful grand opening Cocoa Pod experienced. It has been lovely, despite my computer crashing, hail spoiling one day of Spring, and various other things! I am looking forward to what next week brings. Thanks also to the people spreading my joy - these people include:
Some things have been sold out entirely, but hold on tight! I am working on getting my hands on the rare supplies again to make more. Also look forward to updates (= more items!) all through September. From October each item will be launched in a group the first of every month.

The 1st of September
Today is the first day of Spring in Australia, and Cocoa Pod's flowers are opening, with buds yet to bloom. Yes, the said cocoon in this post has finally opened, and the beautiful butterfly is enjoying this day with me too.
Today is the launch of:
www.cocoa-pod.com
Look forward for exciting updates all week!
I'd love to hear how your first day of Spring is going/went! Or, if you're from a different zone from me, I'd love to know what season you're in.

18 days past
But it feels like so much more. Hello me-deprived people! It has been crazy, crazy, and I am surprised I can not think of one quirky story to tell you at the moment. Right now I'm feeling ill and lost somewhere in my clothes as I keep forgetting to eat. :p Here are some silver lining:

Illustration and Mirrors
today's treasures
Dede's box, Grandma's brooch and Nan's buttons (all late), swapped and thrifted vintage cabochons.
Now I know why I was feeling off before - it was a start of a virus, but now after general laziness and various natural remedies, I am on the mends!
My orchid is going good too. It was looking so *perfect* for such a long time, it was sort of like looking at your 89-year-old Grandma who is still living at home perfectly. It just makes you think, "she should NOT be alright", so you put her in a nursing home and from there, everything goes down hill. Only instead of the nursing home I watered it heavily. I hope you have learned something today from my dramatic and intelligent dripping illustration!
Thanks for the best wishes in the previous post, and thank you Sarah for the plant-help, I will now go back to watering it once a week. =P
And I know, I know, everything seems so quiet, it's hard to believe anything is being done to a naked eye. Cocoa Pod is in a cocoon, and I suspect it opens on September the 1st, but possibly August the 1st, if my trip to THAILAND is delayed. You just cant rush nature. ;) For now we will mainly be talking about mirrors and such, and SOME sneak peaks, for sure.

I bought a new jacket! My last one offically died from me being lazy and wearing it while metalsmithing - I burnt it. Normally I do not worry about the cold, as after 10 minutes I am on another planet, and blue fingers just seem normal. The studio is in an outside room, you see.
Going back to the photo, smudging is great in the not being able to see my imperfections way (read: the Australian singature, freckles, and the far away yet so close to home 'Greek' singature. Go figure), but not in the tidiness factor. I hate mirrors, as I can never get them clean. Any secrets?

Busy little Bee
(Oops! This post was posted a week late!)
I have been a busy little bee filling orders for two local shops, as well as personal custom orders, and coming up with an exclusive range for one of my lovely stockists (stay tuned!). ^_^
I went down to the metalsmithing studio a week ago. As well as making much needed necessities (I'm a cheat - I write this word all the time, but can't pronounce it out loud :p) I finally did something irregular and organic again. My poor thumb might disagree; getting hit a couple of times.

Today I was putting my clothes back into my 'normal' closet, rather than my floor one. :p The prints, I thought, were quite inspiring together...
Oh, and I forgot to tell you before! I think I have come up with the perfect setting for my jewellery. What do you think? Your opinions are much appreciated. If you say you hate it, your comment will be deleted (kidding! :p).
Modeling today is the lovely Bee Hive earrings.
Have you heard? ...
Created by a variety of vibrant designers and business woman, it's already (in my opinion) proven successful by the amount of truly talented designers/artists who have sent applications to be a part of this great event. I'm quite thrilled for them, although upset that I won't be able to make it. Are you going? Tell me all the details, so I can feel apart of it! haha =p
