Customised you say?

More often than not when I find myself interacting with clients at exhibitions - the one question I almost always get asked is - can you custom make it? And when they hear you say yes, you can almost see their eyes light up.

Makes you wonder what it is about customisation that makes people go that way. Is it about it making you feel special? Have you ever been gifted something custom made and felt the excitement? I remember, this one time, when Mr. J (read the hub) gifted me a lil something for my neck - with lil pearls, that equalled my age. I still remember feeling elated and on top of the moon - just cause it made me feel so special and it made me feel that he cared enough to take the pains of getting it made for me. 

I guess it's that moment we wish to create with our surprises and lil custom made gifts. We hope it makes the person feel as special as they truly are for us. Well, just so you know and if already did know, then just to remind you, that yes we do custom make almost anything for your special someone. Some of our best sellers in custom made include - custom made lamps, beanies (yes we are back with em), scarves, clocks, iPad and laptop sleeves, bags/clutches and so on. If you need a gift package done of their favourites, we could help you create that too. Just shout out to us with a theme and let's create some magic. 

Here are a couple of pix of the lamps we have done :))

Oh btw, if you haven't already, do also look up our website www.dashofbling.in to check out some of our existing designs :)

A fab sunday with a surprise visitor

So we had a super fun Sunday; a fab fab sale day but for the rather crazy ending with a surprise visitor. I was quite expecting her to show up but the others around me were pretty confident she wouldn't and so we just decided to play it by the ear.

Of course, come evening and there she was - descending upon us, rather furiously with thunder storms. Yes, we are indeed referring to the rain goddess. Had us all soaked to the bone. 

She was in no mood to spare our goodies even. Not surprising, I was panic stricken but I was flanked by two super heroes by my side that night - G & G who fought the odds to have everything tucked away safely, me included :) and it all went well from there. 

Here's a peek into what we looked like that day - all happy and cheery. 

I have a little secret to share

So, while we have been in a scurrying rush to get things sorted for our upcoming event this Sunday (where btw we are hoping to see you), we got an exciting project to work on. 

What it is, you ask? Well, well, we aren't too good at keeping secrets and even though this was meant to be one, we'll let you in to get a little peak. 

The Big Bang Collection - comic print 

Darling Elie - our fav and much loved Elephant print 

Yep, these are our much loved prints on fabrics :)) Now hold those horses, we aren't gonna just sell 'em as they are. Remember the little project we talked about - it's to design a fun outfit for the organiser to wear at the event with our very own print. She's chosen our 'Darling Elie' - our famous and much much loved elephant print and 'Fall' - the Bodhi leaves print for now. 

But here's the thing that's for you, while we were at it, we decided to collaborate with a real close friend of ours, Ms. S to introduce an exciting collection for your wardrobe too :)) fun, happy prints in georgettes and cotton. Limited pieces though, so be sure to be there soon.

The madness before a mandi

So we participated in the recent Kitsch Mandi (a forum where upcoming designers showcase some fun stuff). Well, you always think you have it all under control till just the day before the exhibition :) and that's really when hell breaks lose. I guess we could safely blame Murphy for it ;) cause he insists on being my best friend. Sticking with me through all my ups and downs. Mostly responsible for the downs but well, the lesser said about that, the better it is.

Nonetheless, the day of the exhibition turned out to be quite fun. The energy of the mandi always has you in high spirits. To top that, when you have some sales going, the day just couldn't get better. Leaving you with some peeks of our stall:)
