A Cup of Sparkle Halloween Pumpkins

Everyone loves Halloween pumpkins. Carving one is always fun, too regardless of your age. At a dinner party, I carved my first pumpkin yesterday. I usually have hard time deciding on a pattern, but this year I had a cool idea... Here is the 2012 A Cup of Sparkle pumpkin sitting on my front porch.

 What do you think? 

Have you noticed the sparkles coming out from the cup?

Have you picked your pumpkin yet for carving or if not, what about an orange pumpkin jewelry to get you in the Halloween spirit? This pumpkin necklace is perfect to wear this season at home, around the office adding all the more joy to holiday celebrations. The pumpkin is in a rich orange color accented with silver components and a tiny green leaf. It is not a perfect circle like any other pumpkin. It is organically grown...

 Have a great Halloween season to all you. Lots of love!

Slide to power off.

Ready to power off and get some rest? I am. 

It is finally the long weekend! And, we still have the great summer to enjoy the warm outdoors, beaches and parks. Hope you will all have a great labor day weekend. Make sure to power off some devices around you to better enjoy your holiday. The simple equation I have for you today is: Time Off = Power Off

Birthday gift for a mom

This is an illustration of my elder sister's family with two boys. She is celebrating her 30'th birthday this week and I personalized a special A Cup of Sparkle keychain with a golden momma bird and two white pearls representing her two little boys; my nephews. I have added couple silver charms; a large flower, a leaf and a heart that says mom on it. I know that she really liked her gift. I wanted to send her my dearest birthday wishes through my blog and share this design with you as well. Happy Birthday Elif!!! Enjoy your new year...

Map It!

Summer days tend to bring me a huge desire to travel. What about you? For avid travelers like me, maps are absolutely a must have whether it is on your shoe, on your carpet, on your bookshelf or on you... Here are some of my favorite map decor, accessories and outfits from the web. 

Enjoy and happy travels if you are somewhere else rather than home...

Map It and Don't Get Lost...

Have a relaxing weekend.

What are your plans this weekend? I am going to rest most of the time and enjoy the sunshine in Seattle after a long work week. Talking about relaxation, I saw this awesome, super comfy looking giant nest couch on Pinterest. Even the thought of laying down inside this nest makes me want to sleep. Pretty unique, isn't it? Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend.

Mommy Pearl Necklace with 9 Children

A Cup of Sparkle personalized mom necklaces hit a new record today. Here is a custom family jewelry with 9 pearls representing nine children and/or grandchildren. It sounds a bit crazy, but it is true and also really cute. I can see people trying to count all these tiny pearls in your nest necklace wondering how many you have...
