Angels,
Are you the creations of God?
Angels,
Are you the messengers of Heaven?

Angels,
Are you the bringers of good news?
Angels,
Are you the desirers of great peace?

Who made you with such beauty?
Who gave such charm?
To whom do you offer your praise?
To the Maker of the heavens and the earth!

I know that God has surrounded me with angels
To protect, guide and grant me peace
Though unseen, unheard and unfathomable
They are there as gifts from Him

How do I know this?
How can I be sure that God cares?
Where is the evidence of God's gift of love?
I turn to my mom!

This poem is written to remember God's love and also for my mum who is still in Singapore on Mothers' Day' 2010.
It was also to celebrate the end of the first year for My Angel Now! which was started as a tribute to my mum.

Millefiori Beads?

Have you ever walked into electronic stores and start staring at TV on display with a "show" that catches your eyes? I will always, without fail, fix my eyes on this particular one that shows the making of Millefiori glass. I think it is an art of its own.

Wanna guess what Millefiori means? It is not too difficult. It is Italian for "Thousand Flowers". World famous Murano glassmakers probably marks the origin of this beautiful art. Victorian Charm was made using these beautiful lampwork beads. 

Like "Charming Bali", this was one of those first pairs of earrings I made. I remember it was my first attempt to make wrapped loops using the headpin, and definitely the first pair that enjoyed the gunmetal colored findings. 



I have taken it off the shelf too but it is definitely available for order since I still have more of these beads. However, as unique as each bead is, a new pair will not look the same as Victorian Charm. For now, Victorian Charm belongs to me : ) I am basking in the joy of wearing earrings again!
