notebook/journal sneaky-peeky

i've been busy ironing out the details on my new journals, but i wanted to share a little preview with you (i've been raving about how excited i am about these on the maoiliosa facebook page for ages, it seems!).

5-7 different styles will be listed in the maoiliosa etsy shop early next week, and will make their fair debut on march 24th, when i attend the vista ridge high school spring bazaar (in cedar park, texas).

each expertly adorned notebook (100% earth friendly, i might add!) will come packaged in a clear gift box with 1 matching full-sized pencil and 1 white pencil cap eraser.

check back throughout the next few days for more sneaky peekies on these lovelies!

glossy pendants

as promised, a few pendants with glossy finish have been added to the maoiliosa etsy shop this morning.  the new finish is subtle yet effective at making the pieces 'pop'.  they don't at all look like cheap costume jewelry, like you often see in gloss-finished pendants, as there is not a thick, plastic-looking dome of sealer - just enough gloss to really make the pendant special :).  these are pieces you will be wearing and enjoying for years, ladies.

and would you believe that within an hour of listing these beauties, 'ambrosia' (middle pendant, below), already sold?  it's since been relisted, of course ;).

you can expect more gloss-finished pendant styles to be available soon!

'grey green asian persuasian'

my 'japanese teahouse' earrings (secretly my favourite pair!) have been featured in a most stunning treasury on etsy (thank you so much, beadyeyedmonster!) and i wanted to share with you:

i hope you all are having a wonderful start to your holiday season!  thankfully, i think all my holiday shopping is done, but if you need some wearable japanese art for the people on your giftlist, you know where to go ;).

happy holidays!

♥,
melissa
