Haul + jewelry + BIG NEWS!

Some bracelets from my upcoming jewelry line

I would like to apologize to all my readers for being a bad blogger. As most of you may know, I'm about to launch my own jewelry line, which means that most of the places I've been going to have been the marketplaces (for materials and such). Also, when I'm here, I really enjoy going to these marketplaces because not only are they cheaper, but they have such unique items that are only found in the Philippines. 

Since it's marketplaces I've been going to, I don't want to bring my camera and start taking pictures because I don't want them to think I'm a tourist (I did grow up here after all) and hike up the prices. So I hope everyone understands the lack of pictures.

But that doesn't mean that I don't have ANY pictures! Here's my haul so far (sans my materials which is going to take up an entire suitcase) and some more pieces from my upcoming jewelry line + the big news under the cut!
