love-sweet-home

you must be thinking finally... some clean product images as opposed to the usually colourful, crossed processed stuff and polaroid! well these keyrings are exactly as they appear (if you sit them on a white background that is..)

i can think of many corny ways to use these ('let me hold the key to your heart with this sweet keyring?') but no, i will not go there, and will just hope that they'll remind of you of something nice every time you go back home. :)

oo and also comes in all 12 messages (see necklace post below)

available here

retailer number tu

the second place that has started stocking littlemiso (from tonight!) is tu, a fantastic little boutique tucked away in shafto lane in the city of perth. the new candy hearts range will be there, as well as a select few mini teardrop necklaces. i also had the awesome opportunity to do the wall painting on their feature wall a couple of years ago (that swirly treeee)..so check it out if you find yourself in the city!

Shopmoooooooose!

my very very very first retailer! yay! the brilliant Matt Brown at Moose: Art for Living has stocked some of my new Love, Sweet Love (Candy Hearts) range, and many other goodies.

head to the Shop Moose homepage or a direct link to my moose-space! yipeee!

the length of hearts

please excuse these noob photos. i just want to show the length of the 'love sweet love' (heart candy) necklaces! the hearts sit on a medium length chain which hangs loosely around the neck.

chain specs: 45cm antique brass chain with parrot clasp (adjustable)

love sweet love

remember that heart candy you used to pass around in high school?

well to bring back some old fashioned romance, here are some hearts you can share around and keep forever. measuring 3cm in width, the pieces come in a variation of cut-through, etched and raster styles in necklaces (shown), brooches and keyrings. (more photos coming shortly!)

comes in 12 different short and sweet messages from the original candy:

. I Love You

. Be Mine

. Hug Me

. Hold Me

. Forever

. My Pal

. Hey Love

. I'm Yours

. Valentine

. My Sweet

. Call Me

. Sweet Heart

$30 for necklaces, currently listing on Etsy :)

C is for change

Beautiful type by Jessica Hische at Daily Drop Cap

There will be some changes to littlemiso products in the next few weeks, which will see prices go up. This is unfortunate because I've always tried to provide affordable prices for quality design, but it has become increasingly difficult to maintain, and is actually becoming a cost upon myself. In addition, littlemiso will be stocked in select shops and retailers the coming weeks, thus prices will be affected by retail markups. While the increase will not be huge (ranging from ~$3-$11), I just wanted to give everyone a heads up :) Please note that these changes will not occur until the 31st of January, 2010.
