This morning we brought our kids to mass. There was a special celebration for the children as children's day coincides with the feast day of St Therese of the child Jesus.
We also went for a children's book launching "Chilli Padi" by Adeline Foo & Lee Kowling, the illustrator is a friend of mine at the Singapore Philatelic Museum. We managed to get our books autographed! We haven't read the book to them yet, but Anne Lise just love the illustrations....
Our boy Sean saw the F1 stamp collection & absolutely wanted to have it..... he is crazy about cars.
We brought them out for lunch.... then went for a small shopping trip for shoes for Luis....
In the evening, we went out dinner at Marina Centre. After that, we took a stroll across to Esplanade and there to our pleasant surprise, there was a live concert of 4 young musicians, playing violin & cello in the main lobby. We listened to them playing pieces from "Beauty & the Beast", "Cinderella", "Aladin", "Lion King". Our kids were impressed! especially Luis...!
Now, they are all tucked up in bed and are very thankful for the very eventful Children's Day!
This is one of the latest creations from my French cartonnage hobby which I haven't published on this blog so far.... It's made of cardboard & acid free Florentine paper (Smiling Cats) with a note pad..... Ideal for your working table or phone corner....
I had a half strand of coin pearls left and thought of adding some nice red garnet with them to give this classic chic necklace....
Some more earrings with gemstones & freshwater pearls - citrine, aquamarine, rose quartz, lapis lazuli & a nice pair of blue chalcedony briolettes..... all with sterling silver....
