Lip Balm Giveaway Winners Announced!

Remember this folks? A few weeks back I announced that I'll be giving away 3 of my homemade all natural lip balms & let me just say that your entries have left me feeling all warm & fuzzy. Thank you to each & every one of you who took the time out to tell me what you like best about Mimpi! Really. I'm a puddle of goo here & selecting just 3 entries is proving to be really tough so I used the handy dandy random number generator Random.Org!

# 13 Viviene!
# 17 Watermelon!!
#2 :) zestful_shoppe!!!

Congratulations you guys! You'll be receiving the lip balm of your choice just as soon as I get your mailing addresses via email. Thanks again to everyone who took part & stay tuned for more giveaways that I'm planning for the very near future ;)

Polish Paper Chandelier

This Polish Paper Chandelier I spotted over at Wren Handmade is just the perfect shade of muted loveliness in all its papery splendor. I'd love to make one for myself someday like how Sarah did.

Smallest Village

It's only November but it's good to think ahead I say! There this really awesome (and very detailed) calendar round-up over at Decor8 that you should check out. Lots of calendars featured there are totally up my alley but this Smallest Village Calendar from Anthropologie just stole my heart. “Within this paper mansion, six smaller abodes reside, each with a piece of the calendar year set against their clapboard and cedar siding.” So stinkin' adorable that I might just have to buy it.

Updates!

Hello again my darlings. I've been very productive lately so here I am, back with another update for the close of October! Told you I was going to be doing more updates than before right? Quite honestly I don't know how I'm going to keep the pace up but I'll try my darnest to keep the blogshop stocked up so you won't be dissapointed whenever you pop by for a dose of Mimpi. Fingers crossed.

Anyhoo, check out my latest offerings over at Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets & More! I do hope you'll find something you'll love (Pssst! The much requested Puteri Biru has been remade & is now available. Snap it up quick! EDIT: Puteri Biru has now been reserved)

To those of you who missed the last update, I'm giving away a couple of my very own homemade all-natural lip balms to some lucky ladies (or gentlemen)! The competition is still ON till 3rd November & all you have to do is leave a comment at this post telling me what it is you like best about Mimpi (it can be anything from the jewelry designs, my blog posts, my dogs & cats, anything!). Easy right? So what are you waiting for? Leave a comment already!

The Tale of How

The Tale of How from Shy the Sun on Vimeo.

Here's a little something dark & spooky for all you trick or treaters from The Black Heart Gang. In The Tale of How we meet the terror of the Indian ocean, Otto, who is a giant octopus with a tree growing on his head. Being a lonely terror, his favorite pastime is to devour the innocent dodoes who live on his head but in the end is foiled by a white mouse. Spookily dreamy, yes? Have a great Halloween tomorrow my lovely ghoulies!

DIY Bouquet - Studio Choo Style

Look what I found! I came across this neat little tutorial after yesterday's entry about Studio Choo's gorgeous floral arrangements. So here's how you put together a casual picnic-style bouquet. Knock yourselves out folks!

Studio Choo

Oh dear me. After going through the photo diary/blog of Studio Choo, I now wish I could run off & open a little flower shop of my own. Perhaps you remember me blogging about them awhile back? Well, in case you don't already know, Studio Choo is a little floral design team based in the States that has a thing for flowers that are "just a little bit wild". I love their work & oh my god, aren't the flowers lovely?

DIY Pinwheels

A good pinwheel is hard to come by. Most of the ones you see out in the market here in Malaysia are garishly colored & not really my cup of tea. So what's the solution? DIY of course! I came across this neat little tutorial because I was originally attracted to the picture above (doesn't it look kinda dreamy?). All you need are some scrapbook paper, some wooden dowels (which you can pick up in various lengths over at Art Friend), pins, the usual suspects (hot glue gun, scissors, etc.) & you're on the way to creating some whimsical decorations for adults & kids alike to enjoy!

Si Lolita Parfum

Isn't the decoration of this apartment so chic? A little frou frou for my taste but believe it or not, it's a set handmade entirely in miniature for Lolita Lempicka's latest parfum, Si Lolita! Watch the ad below & then don't forget to watch the making of it too. It's pretty magical if you ask me...
