Strap: 16 inches. Comes with a longer strap so you can carry it as a sling bag.

Glittery canvas handbag, with hand sewn beads and crystals. My photography skills aren't very good, so I didn't manage to capture the lovely bling-blingness of the beads and crystals. If you order this, and I pass it to you via snail mail, I will bubble wrap beforehand to ensure the beads and crystals are well-protected.

Responsibility

Sometimes, I ask myself: why on earth did I want to have a child?

Don't get me wrong. I love Jubi, and because I love her, I am willing to give up a career which defined me as a person. Because I love Jubi, I am no longer just Eveline. I am also Jubi's mother and Jubi's friend.

Having a child complicates matters. And forces you to be a responsible person, which sometimes, I'd rather not be.

If I get into a squabble, a fight with the spouse, having a child makes you think twice (thrice even) before you hurl that cup of milo at that spouse. Having a child stops you from walking out even when you're at breaking point and feel like you want to fling yourself out from the tallest building.

Having a child in your arms makes you rethink the way you show your anger. Even though you want to hurt yourself and your spouse in that moment of anger, you would never want to hurt your baby by hurting the people she loves.

After having my own family, I've come to realise how spoilt I am. How wanting I am in being a responsible, selfless mother.

Do I always think of the child first? No I don't. Sometimes, I yell at her for trifles. Many times, I've shown violent behaviour while quarrelling with the spouse, causing the little girl to look so frightened that it is forever etched in my mind.

Once, I hurled a bag while in a quarrel. Afterwards, the little one asked in a little, worried voice that broke my heart: Mama throw bag. Why?

And when I sobbed, she put her little arm over my neck and cried with me, not knowing why I cried. But still she wanted to protect the imperfect mama who had forgotten about her baby's fears in her self-pity.

Why did I throw the bag? Why did I choose to forget that I am no longer just Eveline?

Collection 3!

Hello I've finally gotten down to this. Most are limited items, so do sms me - 9797 7321 - or drop me an email - evelinegan@yahoo.com - if you want to reserve them.

Note: All the pieces here are specially marked down by about 30 per cent from the original retail price, so you'll have to pay for postage delivery if I don't meet you at work, or for a cuppa. Parting note, many thanks to friends who have been very supportive :)

================================================


COLLECTION 3
Summer Rendezvous

Item 1: Work of Art Belt (2 pieces left!)
Price: $19
Total Length: 41 inch

Skinny belt with technicolor, hand-painted prism beads. The belt-ends are beaded too (see second pic). Colour & design of each bead vary. No two pieces are alike. I love it. If I had a slimmer, more belt-friendly waist, I would have grabbed one for myself.





=================================================
Item 2: Beary Nice

Price: $26
Material: Cotton and linen-material rosettes
Size: Free Size
Bust: 30 inches
Length: 27 inches
Armhole: approx 15 inches

Total height of bear: 8 inches from head to paw

One colour only.
One of the cutest tees I’ve seen. Solid ribbed cotton material, not the flimsy sort.
Please note that the colour of the t-shirt is not as bright/light as depicted in the “outdoor lighting” photo (first pic). The actual purplish blue tone is darker, like the one in the close-up picture - see 2nd and 3rd pictures.





=================================================
Item 3: Peekaboo Crocheted Net Top

Price: $26 Further discount! Now $16, due to slight defect
Material: Crochet and inner cotton slip
Size: Free Size
Bust: approx 34-36 inches
Length: 34 inches
Armhole: approx 17 inches

Available in brown.

The best thing about this netted blouse is you can throw it over almost any tight-fitting top you have - a tight tee, singlet, bikini?

One of my favourite shops at Eastpoint is selling this top at $39. I'm giving a 30 per cent discount to friends. And a further price reduction. You must be wondering why?
If you look closely at the neckline, there is a very, very slight defect in the centre. The neckline isn't sewn perfectly, hence the further discount.
If you're not a fussy wearer, this is a very good steal. Please note that the sizing of the inner slip is quite small.


=====================================================
Item 4: Ethnic embroidered top (Orange sold out. Left blue 1 piece)
Price: $27
Material: Cotton lycra and satin (embroidered part)
Size: Free Size-
Bust: approx 30 inches when unstretched. Lycra material very stretchable.
Length: 27 inches
Armhole: approx 18 inches

Available in orange and blue.
The cut for this top is very flattering. The satin embroidered part ends just slightly above the bust, while the cotton lycra portion is flowy but does not cling to the body.





=====================================================
Item 5: Summer floral cami (Pink/ purple sold. Left green, and turquiose/lightpink 1 piece each)
Price: $24
Material: Cotton
Size: Free Size
Bust: approx 34-36 inches
Length: 22 inches (from bust to end; not including straps)

Available in 3 colours - green, pink/turquoise and pink/purple
Light, breezy cotton cami. Wear it on its own or layer with inner slip.


Green









Light pink/ turquiose



Hot pink/ Purple


===================================================
Item 6: Blowing Bubbles (All sold out)
Price: $24
Material: Cotton
Size: Free Size
Bust: approx 34 but stretchable.
Length: 25 inches
Armhole: 18 inches

Available in blue only.
White cotton part is t-shirt material. Very pretty, and airy. Love the lace hem.










=======================================================
Item 7: Lolita Slip Dress
Price: $26
Material: Cotton and lace
Size: Free Size
Bust: 32 inches +
Length: 28.5 (outer pieces) 33 inches +(inner slip is adjustable)
Armhole: 16 inches +

One colour only.
Two-piece lace slip dress. Inner cotton slip is made of thin (slightly flimsy, in my honest opinion, but breathable as an inner piece) cotton with lace hem. You can wear the outer piece as a top. Versatile. V-neck cutting for both front and back.

Please note that the cut at the bust is slightly small. For those with above 38 inches boobs, it'll be too tight.






=====================================================
Item 8: Crimson Blooms
Price: $28
Material: Polyester Cotton
Size: Free Size
Bust: 30 inches (but stretchable with elastic band at the back)
Length: 37 inches approx/ adjustable straps

Only one colour. One piece left.
Crimson floral trapeze dress. The cotton material for this is solid, not the flimsy sort. Has inner lining and adjustable shoulder straps. Great thing about trapeze dresses is that you can eat a whole hog (no offence to my vegetarian friends) and no one will know your flabby tum is bursting out of your epidermis.







=====================================================

Item 9: Summer Rendezvous (Electric blue sold out. Left dark purple and black)
Price: $32
Material: Cotton and wooden bead tassels
Size: Free Size
Bust: approx 36 - 38 inches
Length: 27 inches
Armhole: 19 inches

Available in dark purple, electric blue and black.

Airy cotton shift dress with wooden beaded tassels. Beaded part is detachable, so you can take it off when you wash the dress. Also versatile for work or play.







In electric blue and black
