Runs on Coffee and Cream

Do you ever find an Etsy shop that you just want to favourite every item listed?!? This is what happened when I came across geeniejay. Georgina, the talented lady behind geeniejay, makes the most adorable geeky jewellery and accessories. I pretty much want one of each of her necklaces because they're so well made and they just look so perfect and cute!

These are a few of my favourites from her shop, but mind you, I'd like to put everything in here!

A while back I received some amazing vintage flower beads from No Snow Supplies. I knew that I wanted to make some magnets out of them so they could be on display all the time. They are way too pretty to be hidden inside my jewellery box. But I had to get my hands on a glue gun (yes, I'm a crafter that doesn't own a glue gun. I plan on changing that sooner than later).




Anyways, after borrowing a friend's glue gun I pulled out some crafts supplies... magnets and pin backs.



It didn't take very long to glue everything together. I think the longest part was figuring out which beads and colours I wanted to put together. I ended up making 4 magnets and 2 pins.



Finished magnets:


Back of pins: 


While I had the glue gun out I decided to stick a couple of magnets on the back of LSP that I received recently in the post. Now she gets to hang out on my fridge too!



I still have a lot of flower beads left. I think I might make some magnet sets to put with future gifts.

Check out No Snow Supplies for an amazing selection of vintage beads!

Last month I came across this awesome Etsy shop, Pixel Closet. The shop is filled with the cutest fused beads accessories! I'm in love with all the keychains in the shop! The LSP one is definitely my favourite. And I don't know about other cat owners, but my one kitty enjoys eating plants so we don't have any in our apartment. This only makes me want the Piranha Flower or Fire Flower even more!

I have been receiving the best things in the mail lately! Every time I receive a post office slip for me to go pick up a package I pretty much skip across the street (yes, my post office is that close) to get my surprise.

I received an amazing package from Darling Stewie with the cutest TMNT stationary and some sweet stickers... I cannot get over how cute her designs are. 


And then completely out of the blue I received an Easter package filled with candy and chocolate from Kristy! I was in shock and also drooling while I opened it up. She seriously spoiled me! I would have felt extremely guilty opening this since I hadn't sent her a package recently... but I have a bunch of stuff purchased and set aside for her. I just don't feel it's finished though.


And then Arielle (@ToastyTreat) sent me this awesome perler bead Lumpy Space Princess and a letter that written as if LSP wrote it... I laughed out loud while reading the entire letter. This was such a lovely package!


I've been searching stores for some cute package add-ons and I came across the sticker jackpot at my nearby dollar shop.


I'm so excited to finish putting together some of my packages to get them sent out. It's made mail so exciting!!
