hi everyone!

thanks for coming by our site~ we're happy to declare that this online shop has been up for close to one and a half years already! thanks lots for the support.

as my inventory has really reached the limit, im waiting to clear the rest of these stocks before deciding to continue this blogshop. therefore, while there may not be such frequent updates in the coming months, all the accessories on this site are still available for purchase ('cept for those which are sold out of course)!! I check my email extremely regularly, so your orders can be processed quickly. All are still in good condition, and you'll receive them bubble wrapped in an envelope with a nice sticker of our site. Feel free to email if you're interested or have any enquiries.

thanks!

love, theo.

Welcoming 2008!

just an update.. we're gonna be putting some necklaces and charm bracelets up by the end of the week. lara's gonna be making some new ones just for our blog. she's also gonna be flying off to bangkok on a business trip next week and while she's there she'll be buying some accessories to be put up here so look out for them~ if you have any requests or suggestions do drop a comment- like if you'd like to see handphone pouches etc..

i also just bought some neat cream coloured envelopes and the bubble thingy to protect the jewellery in the mail (its lunch time at work now over here at bugis.. heh).

oh and btw i do have a POSB account that you can transfer to. its just a bit troublesome for now coz i don't have internet banking for it to conveniently check that the transfer has been done.. will try to get a POSB debit soon. so don't worry about it, you can use POSB internet transfer or fund transfer via atm to my POSB account (:

A brief intro :P

2007-05-24T23:09:00.001+08:00

“Xi” evolved from the passion and talents of 3 sisters (okay well i've always wanted to set up a blogshop of some sort, and lara makes these beautiful jewellery pieces to de-stress and even gives jewellery-making workshops and all these brand new pieces were just tucked away because she'd never have time to sell them, and it was time to rope in my lil sis leo to do something with us as sisters). With our differing age groups (one 30+ one 20+ studying at a local uni *jumps* <- can u guess?! and the youngest sis, a teenager!) and differing tastes (stylish! trendy! funky!), we have pooled it together to offer you specially crafted beaded jewellery to suit any occasion.

It is a great way to treat yourself and make perfect presents for friends! It's really simple to order and convenient to browse through. We only want to put up jewellery and accessories that are beautiful, stylish, fun to wear and affordable!

Brimming with artistry and created with sisterly love, we hope that we can share our “Xi” creations with you.

"The desire to be and have a sister is a profound one ….It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams . . ." Elizabeth Fishel
