Excerpt from The Little Prince

2011-08-23T23:01:00.000-07:00

Here is a little excerpt from the book, since many people have not heard of it before ;)

So Sweet, it could be a vow.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, from The Little Prince

“Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.”

The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.

“You are not at all like my rose,” he said. “As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.”

And the roses were very much embarrassed.

“You are beautiful, but you are empty,” he went on. “One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you – the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.”

And he went back to meet the fox.

“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,” said the fox.

“It is the time I have wasted for my rose – ” said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose...”

“I am responsible for my rose,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

2011-08-03T20:07:00.000-07:00

Just went to "norcal" for a wedding this past weekend and spent some good quality time with friends!

Phew! It was time to take a break and rest for a little bit, but it is so hard to get back into the working schedule..Ahh!

Still a lot to do, but I have realized that it is really important to take time out to really think about what is important and prioritize!

Still can't believe I'm getting married! I'm going to be making my decisions with another person! Wow! At this point, many things are up in the air! I guess this makes things exciting?

Well... we took engagement photos and that was an interesting and fun experience! I couldn't stop laughing, so I'm hoping that all my photos don't look the same..haha!

Anyways, here's a sneak peak from Lovely Leaf! Thanks Alice and Serena and Wilmarose!

100 Days!

2011-07-23T15:36:00.001-07:00

Today marks 100 days until THE Big Day!!

Eeek!

I am going to try to keep an update on things here every 10 days... Let's see how it goes! haha!

These days, I am pretty busy making things for RUCHE!

Here is a little peek at the craziness!

These little fingers of mine are going through a battle!

It has been fun working with friends and creating these pretty little things!

In terms of wedding plans, next thing up is.... The Engagement Session!

Anabel, one of my bridesmaids and blogger for 3 Letter Words, and I went shopping yesterday for some outfits. The girl has some great style and I think I feel more confident about wearing these pieces... I am hoping it will come out well..hah hahh..

Even though I grew up with a photographer dad, I am SO not the model-type! I would rather be the one to pose other people or help them with their makeup and hair. I am getting kind of nervous already thinking about being in front of a camera.

Well... Daniel and I are in the hands of some talented people, so I think it should be great!

Shout-outs to Lovely Leaf Studios, Studio205 films and Lovely Jubilee!

Thanks everyone!

So next Tuesday we will be shooting in Downtown Santa Ana.- Historic and Artistic. Bricks and Foliage.

Me and Daniel's first date was at Original Mike's. Yes...it is pretty random..and I'm not sure if we both knew it was a date...puahaha!

and if you remember my photo shoot from the Winter time, we will also be shooting here:

Easiest DIY Flower Garland!

2011-05-02T15:20:00.000-07:00

I want to share with you a super simple DIY Flower Garland that I just put together to add some decor to my office. You can hang this pretty garland anywhere that need some cuteness or for your wedding with some twinkle lights (my favorite!)

1.) So basically, it is just two ready-made present bows stuck together. If the tape that comes with is already sticky enough, you can just peel off the stickers and stick them together with the ribbon in between.

If you need extra reinforcements, use double-stick tape or a stapler.

2.) I like to cut the ribbon after I finish putting all the bows together and I have it extra long at the ends to be able to tie it to places.

3.) Ta-Da! Pretty Garland made in like 10 minutes!

You can do this with any kind/color of present bow, but I found mine at Border's Book Stores. They were actually on clearance at one of the closing locations.

A Petit Plume Proposal

2011-04-22T12:37:00.001-07:00

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

a busy day of church, appointments and meetings for both of us..

TANGENT: last night, Daniel was over at my house and he helped me clean my room. I found this coral nail polish I had been looking for and immediately put it on! Daniel was like…what are you doing? You need to clean your room! Turns out that my nails totally matched this skirt I got a while back and was waiting for the right weather to wear it and it all just happened to match my ring!! haha!

We were both pretty tired after the busyness of our days, so we ended up knocking out! (I guess this was to avoid talking to me?…)

He has told me earlier this week that Jim and Annie were in town and wanted to get dinner with us tonight at Downtown Disney at The Jazz Kitchen…, so to make it “more fun and romantic”, he said, “let’s take the train!” We have taken the train in the past and it was quite fun, so I agreed…

Daniel looked pretty normal… usually I can figure him out really well…

I had a few suspicions and did think, “is he going to propose to me?, but I really believed we would get dinner at Downtown Disney and I had no clue on how he was going to do this because I am quite hard to surprise…

So we went on the train and it was actually quite crowded…he was searching for the right spot to sit without many people… I was like…just sit wherever! but we found a spot with one other person inside…

right when we sat down, he said, “we don’t have a lot of time.. and we are not going to Downtown Disney” (i was confused)

Then he look at me in the eyes and held my hands and said things like he loved me and wanted to be with me, but I interrupted him and was like, “What are you doing?!?!…

and then he was on one knee (while this guy walked in awkwardly…) and he opened the box with the ring and I was like…. “Really?!?”

and he said, “Genie, will you marry me” (I think he said this…)

and I said with nervous laughter, “yes..ok!”

then he put the ring on my finger as he said, “This is the right hand right?”

and then we looked at each other and laughed and said…”So we’re engaged?!?”

and then it was quiet and that other guy still looked awkward…

Then it was our stop in Downtown Fullerton and we got off the train and I saw a bajillion balloons and people and I was like, “Oh My Gosh….!!!!” and he had to drag me over there…

and then it was an explosion of Congratulations and happy people and I was getting all teary..

and THEN, he said, we are all going to walk over to FRATI for gelato on Me! and then I almost LOST it completely!

So I didn’t really cry when he popped the question, but cried about Frati… Wow…

Celebrated with friends at FRATI and then headed over to korean restaurant with both of our moms, dads, and brothers…

I thought about it a little more and was wondering, Why a train? and Why Fullerton?

TRAIN:

and then it hit me later, in our private blog…my last entry was “Marry Me by Train”…but it was Train the band..

I put that video up because I randomly heard it and thought..That is “So Sappy” ! and also because I really did want to Marry Him… (I almost deleted that entry..puaha)

So Daniel wrote as a comment right before the proposal, “okay.”

and just a few weeks ago, we took the train for the first time to San Juan Capistrano for a mini day trip and it was a fun memory!…

FULLERTON,

…well..I know that area like the back of my hand… I spend a lot of time eating, drinking and shopping out there…so Downtown Fullerton…does have a special place in my heart and Daniel and I have spent quite some time out there together!

BALLOONS:

not sure if he thought about all these things, but Daniel and I love the movie “Up”

so thanks for all the balloons, but we had to pop most of them to get them inside the trunk..haha!

and Now, we need to plan the wedding… because our parents are already asking us a bunch of questions…

Here’s us:

The pretty rose gold peach champagne ring:

More to come and thanks to all who celebrated with us!

(I think Daniel would have a more sappy and detailed entry than me...hahh... I'll put his version up later ;)

I feel Truly Truly blessed right now to be a part of this magazine, but more so because they took the time and care to really get to know me and my new vision. This came out so great!
Thank you Thank you!

I am so honored to be a part of Issue #13 of Utterly Engaged magazine.

Eugenia Chung of Petit Plume always
thought that a career in art therapy would
be the perfect way to combine her love
of art and helping people through art.
But when she wasn’t accepted into an art
therapy program her dreams were crushed.
She was sure that art therapy was the only
way to combine her two passions. Little did
she know that as one door closed another
door was just waiting to be opened.
The one of the left with the brown mini hat is taken by Crystal Jean Photography ;)

While Eugenia took time to
figure out her next path she
began making hair accessories
that she sold to friends
and family. What began
as an outlet for her to take
inspiration from the different
styles of people around her
and experiment with various
materials soon became a
full-fledged business. Soon
Eugenia was selling her Petit
Plume pieces on Etsy, at craft
fairs, and local boutiques.
After her first year of business
Eugenia felt the need to do more
than just make accessories for
the sole purpose of fashion.
She wanted Petit Plume to
be a business that made
a difference and inspired
others to give back to the
world around them. Eugenia
was inspired by a quote that
continued to replay in her
head, “You came into this
world with nothing and will
leave with nothing.”
Visit My Refuge House

“I literally started with nothing!” says Eugenia,
“I thought that I could only give if my bank
account was overflowing and I had excess to
give away, but I was really challenged to make
a sacrifice.
“If I can give in times when I do not have much but still
give to the best of my capability, then I can be confident
that I will be provided for with what I need.”
While researching organizations to work
with Eugenia came across My Refuge
House, a safe house for young women and
children that are rescued from sex-trafficking
in the Philippines. At the moment, My Refuge
House is in the process of building a new
aftercare facility to house the abused and
trafficked young women. “As Petit Plume
is also in the phase of rebuilding with a
new direction, I feel that we can learn
and grow together with the many exciting
opportunities that await us both!

My dream is to be able to provide jobs for the
girls at My Refuge House when my company
is able to hire more people.” says Eugenia.
To benefit My Refuge House, 15% of all Petit
Plume sales will be donated. Going forward,
Eugenia hopes to have special products and
projects go towards specific causes that relate
to the issues of human trafficking and abused
women and children. Eugenia has definitely
found a beautiful way to combine her love of
art and helping people through art.

Thank you to Utterly Engaged's Lucia, Henny, and Alison
and Serena Grace Photo!

Photos from Feature on Wedding Chicks

2010-11-01T14:03:00.000-07:00

Here are some detail photos from the 1960s Mad Men themed wedding that I had the opportunity to be a part of!

Susie works for The Wedding Chicks and asked me to create something that would match her beautiful custom made rosette dress. She was looking for something with a birdcage veil and a mini hat in ivory and optional color accents.

These beautiful photos were taken by Julie Harmsen Photography and you can see more of this unique wedding at http://www.weddingchicks.com/wedding-chicks/featured-weddings-events/64868/1960s-mad-men-theme-wedding/.

I loved Susie's look and her wedding was exquisite!

Petit Plume is One Year Old!

2010-09-23T02:50:00.000-07:00

Thank you to everyone who made it out to my party last Friday and for everyone else who couldn't make it, here are some photos and updates!
Your support is greatly appreciated and I am so excited to share this new journey with you!

On September 17, 2010, I had a Petit Plume One Year Birthday Party at The Wedding Pantry in Tustin, California.
I had around 100 people attend and some amazingly talented musicians and artists share their skills.

Petit Plume is NOW partnering with an inspiring organization called My Refuge House!
I feel like it's a great partnership because we are both in similar places of rebuilding and restructuring with exciting things that await us!
Russ from My Refuge House gave a moving presentation about how evil will continue to prevail when good men do nothing. Everyone has a part in making a difference! Big or small.

Here is a snippet of how I got here! (this is really embarrassing with my crooked teeth and all..hah!) oh! and sorry about the lagging...(don't know how to fix -_-"):

Patchwork-How did I get here and where am I going?

2010-06-02T00:54:00.000-07:00

–noun

something made up of an incongruous variety of pieces or parts; hodgepodge: a patchwork of verse forms.

work made of pieces of cloth or leather of various colors or shapes sewed together, used esp. for covering quilts, cushions, etc.

On Sunday, June 6th from 11-5pm, I will be at the Patchwork Indie Arts and Crafts Festival in Santa Ana (2203 north main st @ buffalo) selling a variety of my accessories at discount prices.

Visit www.patchworkshow.com

I can't believe it has been almost two years since I first found out about this show when I began volunteering at Orange County Therapeutic Arts Center in Santa Ana. I had been given a flyer to be a volunteer at this show because this show supports the Art Center. At that time, I had no idea that I would actually be a part of this show or any handmade or indie craft scene.
I was pursuing a career in art therapy and I had my mind set on attending Loyola Marymount University for their Marriage and Family Therapy degree with a specialization in Art Therapy. I was taking prerequisites and doing everything I needed to do to be a good candidate for acceptance.
Volunteering was great and I got to experience working with high functioning special needs children. I wanted to use my background in the arts to influence or help people and I felt that art therapy was the perfect combination of my desire to create and to influence.
Last year during March, I found out that I was not accepted to LMU's program and I was so devastated. It felt like a dream was crushed. As I thought about it more, I began to realize that this may not have been the dream that was made for me, but that I trying to create my own future that I ultimately had no control over. This was a learning process.
I made my first hair accessory to the interview at LMU for my self and I had made it to set my self apart.
I did not know that I would actually keep making more and more of these things, but as I was trying to figure out my next steps, I just ended up making accessories as a hobby and to accessorize my basic outfits. It was then that other people were noticing my pieces and through the people already in my life, I was connected to other opportunities. My first opportunity was to let Tulle use my accessories in their look book photoshoots. Through this, I was encouraged by a friend and business owner, Dan Kam, to think about starting up a business.
The entire idea made me very nervous. First, I had no money to do anything and second, I had no business experience and no special training in making accessories. So many terms were foreign to me and I needed detailed checklists to help to launch, but I ended up just going for it and thinking that I had nothing to lose during this time.
I has been almost a year since I made "Petit Plume" an official business. Most of all, it has been a huge learning experience. Many times, I have felt like a crazy person for starting this, but through encouragements and support, I have been able to endure and believe in what I do.
I do not know the future and I did not create a concrete plan. Besides, who knows what the next big trend is or how long I can keep making handmade accessories. I do not know much, but I do know that I love making people feel special and beautiful and to create and craft new experiences and perspectives for people through my art.
I must always remain thankful for what I have been given and to utilize my gifts.
Through creating accessories, I have met many vendors and some people who work in the salon industry. I had no idea that all these areas could connect and I may sound crazy again attempting to tackle another field, but cosmetology is an area that I would like to tap into for a variety of reasons, but mainly to serve people and be a positive influence.
Could these be my next steps? I am not sure and I will have to wait and see if the doors will open for me. I will take it one "patch" at a time to ultimately create a beautiful "patchwork" that could be a life that can cover a broken soul or to provide some loving care. This is what I mean when I say that Petit Plume is merely a stepping stone towards greater dreams. I hope to continue to keep growing and looking up.

Thank you so much for reading this loooong post and Thank you for your support!!!

Antique Magic!

I finally got a chance to finish some custom orders and also play around with my new materials. :D

I got a Darkener for Gold and Silver and I used it on a gold plated crystal headband to give it that antiqued look and to tone down the brightness of the gold.

BEFORE & AFTER:

Here is the original (some may still like it bright gold):

The finished headband

and a closer look!

Hand-wired, czech crystals on a gold plated trim and headband.

Beautiful!

It has been absolutely insane and I finally have a chance to update, so here goes!! Enjoy!

1.) Unique Los Angeles (April 24-25):

Lisa helped make my display...POP!

Booth Partners!! Lisa makes Vintage Jewelry!

He basically moved Everything up and down stairs for me <3
Fun hanging flowers, mirrors, and crystals with my birdcage (birds on the outside...) ;)

The last day, we had random deals and t-shirt giveaways!! WhooHoo!!

2.)UCSD Vendor Fair (April 28-30):

Basically...it's a LONG story, but let's just say that Steppie and I had quite an adventure...

Here is how it started:

so packed...used side view mirrors and teamwork to get to SD...

ate at Sushilicious and got a free meal for Steppie's Birthday!! Yippee!!

Delicious specialty rolls and Green Tea Tempura Ice-Cream!!

(and ask for magic tricks too...)

a picture of my "Brooklyn" headbands to show that we really did go to SD to sell our goods..

so I accidentally touched this sock outside of my car thinking it was mine...Ewww...

Mama Mia Italian Restaurant:

where crazy happens...
I don't know why, but we were pretty delirious and everything was SO Hilarious! This is what happens when you are outside all day and just trying to pull it together...

Special thanks to our friends Andrea and Esther for putting up with our crazy schedules.
and to our stomachs for taking in such delicious cuisine!
Oh and thank you to my mom's Nissan Murano for getting us AND our stuff to and from SD!!

3.) UCI Vendor Fair (May 3-7):

I enjoy coming back to UCI, since it reminds me of my college days...(not that it was so long ago...) but those were great times, especially with friends being so near all the time!

a different deal each day!

This frame was entertaining...people kept thinking it was a mirror..i don't know how many times I heard that...

"Juliet" headband would have to be my most popular item!

Anabel sporting her Petit Plume attire! Thanks for coming out and sharing your creativity!! Whee!!

4.) Graffiti Beach Indie Lux Pop-Up Show (may 8):

my cousin Peter came all the way from New Jersey with his friend Mike, who took some awesome pics for me! and here is my mom and grandma too!
My grandma thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful view-I would have to say that her being there made this event totally worth it!

On the Runway and Close-ups:

she is so thrilled to be wearing Petit Plume!

New Stuff debuted at these shows:

Double Rhinestone Tiara Band on 18K gold plated headband

Velvet leaf headbands -"Eden"-Velvet

"Peyton" - Another l'art headband: painted canvas, lace and rhinestones on settings

"Cecilia"-mini velvet covered metal headband with wired rhinestones on settings.

Met lots of cool people and contacts!
It's a Busy Time!!
maybe I need to become a coffee drinker...

Petit Plume at Patina Boutique!

2010-03-04T00:05:00.000-08:00

I got a chance to bring some new items to Patina Boutique in Costa Mesa today and thought I would share some lovely pictures of their cottage-converted boutique with you!

My line works perfectly with their store as they sell many vintage and vintage inspired items with a handmade appeal!
I love it! Most of my items in their boutique are one-of-a-kind and vintage along with some unique feather clips.
I think you could probably go there at least 10 times and still find something completely new and different with their wide selection of items within the creative and "shabby chic" displays.
Enjoy!

Drop in to say hello and find yourself something pretty! Super friendly! Tell them Genie from Petit Plume sent you ;)

Fine Art Necklace!

2009-12-25T15:26:00.000-08:00

This is a little step towards expanding from hair accessories to jewelry, but of course, I am all about the hair accessories! I also make brooches and plan to experiment with unique and modern veiling and hats. So stay tuned for my up and coming items!

These fine art necklaces are made from an acrylic painting on canvas, swarovski rainbow crystals and clear crystals, glass beads, shiny gold chains, coral shell bead and a large crystal bead all on an antique style gold chain. The backing is deerskin leather which makes it luxurious and comfortable on your skin.

Absolutely one-of-a-kind and my own personal design that directly incorporates my background in mixed media arts to use in designing something you can wear!

**EDIT**~

New Designs:

you can purchase this item on ETSY or email me at PetitPlumeDesigns@Gmail.com

This can be customized in color and design as well! So if you like the concept, but would like it altered, I would love to create something special for you!

What to look forward to!!

2009-11-13T00:22:00.001-08:00

Spent a lot of time driving today and it seems as though my mind is constantly thinking of ideas when I'm in the car. It also helped that I only had to go on one freeway for a really long time and was stuck in some terrible traffic right before my destination. Weird how traffic seemed to be a blessing in disguise for me today! Sure didn't seem that way for the people driving around me though! ahaha..

Just wanted to put a few ideas out there for you to look forward to and I am getting excited (and anxious) about the endless possibilities, so please bear with me as I share in this journey!:

-A few HOW-TO videos and posts about how my creations are made. For me, process is so important and I want to teach people how to incorporate my accessories into their lifestyle or wardrobe!
(if there are some vendors or boutiques out there that would like to work with me on this one, I would love to collaborate!) We shall take some adventures to LA's fashion district, second hand stores, and my lovely little studio while...meeting some cool people along the way!

-More to come with ARTE collection: Headbands and pins will look more like my mixed media artworks and will be treated as such. You will see materials like clays, printed papers and prints, jewels, burlap and textured surfaces and PAINT! All of these will be wearable of course, but with that added artistic and unique edge!

Are you getting excited?!?

Yes! It will be much fun and I would love to get to know you along the way!
So...Stay Connected!

I am always looking to give back to the community or to different causes, so as I continue to do this business, I want to use what I do and create to be meaningful!

Thank you for reading!

Hello World!

2009-11-10T12:56:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog site!
I have moved from my sister site: www.eugeniacdesign.com
and I am excited to share all the latest happenings of my handmade accessories and to also share in my creative processes and idea making.

I am a self-taught and independent designer and I am interested in all areas that involve creativity. Making accessories came out of a desire to stand out in one of my interviews and since then, I have just made so many that I created a business out of it! I love to incorporate my background in the fine arts (painting, ceramics, mixed media) into accessory making.

Petit Plume is where the fine arts meet fashion!

So Enjoy and please feel free to contact me! I would love to hear your feedback and to share in the process!

Thanks so much!

-Genie
