Special Valentine's Day promotion - Week 1

During the month of love, I am introducing special pieces from my Rose Collection that are usually NOT available anywhere except for trunk shows and at selected retail stores, and bringing them to my Etsy store at a discounted price. These are usually specially designed or produced in small quantity only. Now you can get them directly from me to you, or to your loved ones. So get it before they are gone here.

This week you can find the 3 Roses and Chain Statement Earrings at my Etsy store, available until end of Feb. It comes in sterling silver and 2 other plated versions. But only the silver version and an affordable brass version will be available for this Valentine's Day promotion. Come back later to see the  brass version with unique tint of gold and lovely pink.

Music of the day - Freeway

As I sit at the store today waiting for customers to walk in, surrounded by my jewelry and more lovely things I want to own, I browse around for music to play to this horribly frigid weather. I was in the mood for some Aimee Mann today and came across a great cover of her song "Freeway" by an emerging musician named Greg Friedman. So here they are, both versions of the "Freeway", equally good and equally uplifting. Enjoy!

What to say about 2012 and 2013?

From Kozyndan Bunnyfish Collection

I feel like 2012 was a year that Harlequin&Lionhead was truly born. 

I was blessed with some really great mentors in this year. Thank you Arts Business Institute for pointing me to the right direction. And thank you Tracy and Robin for your guidance and advices. These all help laid a good foundation for me to build on.

I was lucky to have found a partner to be my ally at various shows, Jessica. You are a sweetheart and I don't know how I could have done this without having you by my side ;)

I was pumped to find out that Henri Bendel has chosen me to be featured at their NYC location. There I get to know a talented designer Brandy. Hope 2013 will bring you lots of good news!

And I am so happy that Harlequin&Lionhead has found a stable retail home at Urban Alchemist. Thank you for Imaan and Tara for bringing me to the lovely neighborhood of Park Slope Brooklyn.

Of course, I have to give a big thanks to my husband and my mom who have been so supportive of what I am doing.

Big plans for 2013. More to come. The rabbit that dreams to be a fish loves you all.
