New Arrival: LINeage -- 20% off all LINeage purchases made by May 22nd.

It has been a crazy few weeks over here.  Not only did we have to rush out the Mother's day orders two weeks ago, we also had to prepare for our new LINeage collection launch last Friday.  I'm relieved that all orders during the Mother's Day week was delivered to our customers on time.  As soon as that week was over, we had to sort through hundreds of images, and choose a few to go through the editing process.  Even though only a few were chosen, we love all the images we took.   It was the most tedious and eye straining work we've ever done, but it was the most rewarding.  The work doesn't stop here of course, but I just like to take a brief moment here to share a few of our favorite LINeage earrings with you.  I hope you like them too.

All things Felt

{ image source }

I was so delighted to come across this felt pillow tutorial from Anne Kyrrö Quinn's new book, Felt Furnishing.  She uses simple technique of gathering and folding to create these Rosette clusters; and with bright orange felt material, it's calling out chic and stylish to any home decor.  Not to mention, it's economical.

Felt is widely used in home decor as well as accessories.  Because of its durability and versatility, they can be used in various forms.  For instance, you can even make them into slippers.  Purl bee put together this easy tutorial with downloadable slippers template for anyone with no prior sewing skills.  You can go to Purl bee blog for the full instruction on how to make this felt slippers.

This brings to mind another talented designer that I'd love to introduce to you, Heather Keiko. Coquese just added her gorgeous jewelry line to our jewelry collections! She's an Australian textile designer who utilises her repetitive layering skills and loves for subtle details to create unique and yet playful jewelry.  Each of her creation brings out the true beauty of the material that she uses.  One of my favorite is the loop necklace in ivory.  Each loop is hand cut in different length and sewn together with the finest German wool felt.  Then, it's threaded together with stainless steel wire cable and finished with a silver chain.  This piece creates a bold statement of creativity and compliments to whoever wears it.

Stepping into 2011

Wow, can you believe 2010 year is going to be over in less than 24 hours? This year for me was the fastest year I had ever experienced. I remember the beginning of January and all of a sudden we are in December! I attribute this feeling to the many changes I experienced in my life, work and relationships.  No matter how fast or slow this year was for you, I think now is definitely a good time to pat oneself on the back and luxuriate in this year’s victories, humbly identify and cherish lessons learned from failures and get inspired to realize one's dreams in 2011!  So let’s leave 2010 with a bang and enter 2011 with all the faith, determination and strength we can muster.

From all of us at Coquese, here is to more years of looking your best, radiating like the sun, blossoming like the Mountie tulips and being happy and successful in all your endeavors as you step into 2011!
