Stones for November

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

October has reached its end, and so has the summer. And those wonderful sights come again; leaves turn to red, yellow, and brown. Blue skies above, though cloudy days greet us more often here. It is time to take our thick jacket out of the lower piles in the cupboard. And what accesoires to wear? 

Just like yellowish leaves in November, yellow Topaz, Citrine, Pearl, Cat’s eye and Beryl are the stones for November. For those of you who were born in that month, these stones are for you. And as red and brown leaves still hang on the branches, how about considering these power stones of November:  Power Stones : Topaz,  Garnet,  Coral,  Ruby,  Zircon,  Almandine,  Malachite, Moonstone, Opal, Peridot, Turquoise.

miniatur2a.jpgSummer is over. It is time to dig out the bulbs and save them for the summer next year.  But hey, the flowers are still beautiful enough to look at and to keep. Ok, let’s hang them upside down and let them dry. Few weeks from now we will have dried flowers as lovely decorations.  

Talking about dried flowers, Eflair has something to offer: a miniatur terasse made from dried flowers, wooden beads and zink. All are packed inside a wooden box covered with glass. Look at the detail here. 

So, don’t wait too long. Keep the summer ambience alive, be it eternity inside your house.      

 

How it began

Two sisters in two continents, Wenny in Indonesia and Durin in Germany. The first was tired with nine to five job in an office, and the later was searching a paid activity that could be done at home. Both have something in common: getting tired with working for someone and spent all day long in someone’s office. Since art was one of their interests in life, they talked about selling arts from their origin. During the preparation in 2003, an unpredictable surprise happened; a cute fetus was growing in the womb of one of them; the one in Europe. But the first shipment was on the way already. Though the process of running business continued during the pregnancy, it was the year of 2005 when the business really moved.
