I'm sorry I put this off for so long...They have answer my email interview since January 5th, sorry my bad.. but since then their collection obviously grew with an addition of more wonderfully woven handbags... Chameo Couture was established in 2007 by a team of Husband and Wife, Lim Masulin and Yuliana Lim. The name CHAMEO is derived from chameleon. Chameleon survives by its ability to blend in with the surrounding. They hope the characteristic of a chameleon also goes with their handbags, they want their handbags to be relevant to the users and their surrounding.

Here are my interviews with them:...

Okeeeyy Dokeyy... hurry up, you might be the lucky one!

If you are the kind of person who often lost thing in your own handbag (like me..) you should get one of these... it keeps your handphones, pen, keys, or wallet in places that are easy to locate. And if you are a person who change your bag as often as you change your underwear, you are definitely have to own this kind of bag, so you just have to move this little bag from handbag to handbag.

I know there are a lot of these bag organizer out there right now, but this one is one of the ones I like. It comes with a simple design and color combination.

Quoting from their blog this is how they describe IZZIBAG:

"Our Multifunction Bag to make life Easier.

IzzyBag is a multifunction bag that can make your life easier and more organized. Each IzzyBag is make with love and care, with many colors available. Purchase your IzzyBag now to organize your bag thus you wont be difficult to find your handphones, lipgloss, keys, or movie tickets!"

check out other exiting color combination on their blog and you can also order this IZZYBAG there: http://izzybag.blogspot.com/

hmmm... as I write this, I will definitely have to get one!

I don't know if you believe in 'The Law of Attraction' or not, but I certainly do. This is the second time that it work out in my life without any intention of doing so, the first one is how I got my blackberry bold ( loong story..). Well, I hope that it also works on those Totally Monogram LV that I wanted...:)

Anyway I was blogwalking and somehow landed on this cute blog called dreamesh, browsing trough I found out that the owner Amesh Budiristio is making these cute items from Batik and there is a link to her flicker showing her creations. I'm wanted to contact her to asked a couple of questions about her blog, but since there are no email address or shout box, I don't know how to reach her. So I just let it go for the day.. suddenly on late afternoon, when I checkout my blog there is a message from Amesh in my shoutbox, offering to have a giveaway on Made In Indonesia... wow, how cool is that, eventually she's the one who found me instead...

Anyway, after quite a bit emailing back and forth here is her story...

I just love.. love.. love jewelries.. the real ones especially (*wink).. I have an eye for those with a modern yet elegant design...so when someone pointed me to twinkle + sparks website, I fell in love instantly with almost everything they have on site. Today I just revisit twinkle + sparks website again and I just can't  put off another day to share it with you all.

So the master mind behind this twinkling goodies is Kartika Pratiwi, she began twinkle + sparks on late June 2009. But as a hobbies, creating jewelries started after she graduated from high school when she stumbled on a jewelry book and started making them right away. The hobby continued even when she was in college in Toronto, Canada. While she was there she had a chance to wok at a bead store, there she got  access to lot of knowledge of the materials and techniques on jewelry making.
