VISIT OUR ETSY SHOP!


We would also like to inform you that for most of the month of August, Aishiteru Honey will be away. Therefore, orders might be delayed. Even so, expect updates in a couple of weeks, to say the least.

Hello everyone!

Long time no see. We're back from our long, long hiatus! Sorry to keep you waiting, but we have been busy. But now we are back up and running full speed ahead. It is now our top priority!

We are working on new collections and I finally got around to decide on shipping prices for hats. So expect new items for sale soon. Right now I bring some pictures I took while we were working today!

While i filled in crowns with blue crystals.
What says on the package is that they're to be used in religious oil painting, haha.


A couple of the pieces i finished today.
Liliana her creations home and i didn't get to take photos.


And that is all for now.

Good night and we hope you will keep on supporting us from now on!

NEW ITEMS!!!

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates but there hasn't been much coming our way. Nevertheless, we have put up the remaining items from B-80's for sale at etsy among others. They're all simpler than usual, but very pretty nonetheless. Other very special items are also to come very soon!

So please check it out! Also, add us on myspace if you haven't yet! :)

See you SOON!

Aishiteru Honey will have a small sales stand tomorrow (saturday) at "B-80'S", an 80's party that will take place at ESPAÇOKARNART. We're making special, cheaper piaces especially for the party!

It will definitely be a good party filled with 80's cheese, so if you feel like having fun tomorrow, stop by. For information on the party and a map, go to their official website.

After we recieved our first two orders (three now, by the way) we wandered around Algés trying to find the simplest possible bag to put our items in. After a trip to the chinese shop and some other local shops, we realised there was no way we were going to find simple plastic bags. So snakeskin pattern paper seemed like a good alternative. It's not quite easy or cheap, but thanks to the waiter at Pacman (local coffee shop) who lent us an old pair of scissors, it turned out to be fun. We're not sure if it was the new Jennifer Lopez single in spanish or Tokio Hotel playing on the tv screen that got us somewhat inspired :P

Anyway, this paper will make very pretty packages for at least our first few orders! Until we get something better, we guess. So here are some pictures we took while we were making them...





Now Sara has to go have some dinner and Liliana will join her.
Thanks to everyone who ordered and we hope they keep coming! :)
The AH Team (haha)

I just wanted to say that tomorrow we'll be shipping our first two orders!

Thank you so much to Kariva, for being the first person to buy an Aishiteru Honey item! Also to Teabox, for being second <3

I spent all night editing photos and uploading to Etsy... I know I said friday, but assuming I started at around 1am, technically, in a way, well, it was still kind of friday! Since I really need to go get some sleep and I don't know when I'll have time to fix the website, the shop section will disappear for a while and it will link directly to our Etsy shop. It's only temporary, though. It would also be great if we could take better pictures for the website.

So...

AISHITERU HONEY SHOP IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!
and taking orders :D

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
We love you, Honeys!

So we made like, 3824982357983 new pieces today, but then it became dark, too dark for pictures. Tomorrow I have an important appointment during the day, so taking photos and opening the shop has been postponed to friday. I'm really sorry!

Either way, I don't come empty handed tonight. Our website has a new layout, so make sure you go see it and tell us what you think. Don't just take a glance, follow the link to the "about us" section for a laugh.

Also today we've ordered 500 (that's right, five hundred) business cards, which look like this:


So, how do you like the finished logo?

And! Last but not least, we did take some pictures tonight. Just not good enough for the store. So, here's a peek at some new jewelery...




Even though we didn't get to open the store today, I feel accomplished for now. I worked really hard the past few days! And you can't say I didn't try. And Liliana, too. Poor little thing, she was working with me all afternoon and night, and she hadn't slept for 48 hours! She had a presentation this morning, I hope she gets a good grade.

Well, that's all for now! See you soon.
Sara

Hello everybody!

So I finished a new version of the logo, i think it looks much nicer. Other than that, tonight I've been working on making an Etsy shop. There is nothing there for sale at the moment, but tomorrow night I will put a few items for sale! Not much, but, please look forward to it!

The reason I have decided for etsy is that because our bank account is in Portugal it is very hard for us to install paypal buttons directly on the website, also Etsy is a convenient and popular place for crafters to host their stores at. Nevertheless, I plan to have our website pimped up with galleries of the items and everything it deserves as soon as possible!

Also, I have been thinking about starting an inspiration book for Aishiteru Honey. Like a research book, with collages and pictures and drawings, even text. I've been planning to do this for a while, but I don't know where to start. I know right, don't think about it just do it! It's what I've been thinking, but thinking about thinking never goes anywhere. Anyway, I was thinking I want this blog to be an extension of it. I want to let you know not only about our latest news, but also about what inspires us and what we consider to be part of our brand's imaginarium.

For a while we've been collecting photos of clothes and accessories we find interesting, also random photos we find on the internet. Also I found tons of make-it-yourself books lying around with great ideas. My mother has always been very interested in art and crafting, so she spent her life buying books about such things that she never used. Which has turned out to be very useful for us!

I was about to start babbling on how I really enjoy boy's clothes, but I don't know what my point was anymore. Maybe because it's 5 am. So I'm going to say goodbye and please be our costumer in the future!

me and liliana have been busy, therefore we haven't been working as much as we should. probably i will only be able to open our online store in the start of march, instead of this week. either way, i have now seriously started working on our logo, and i came up with a decent temporary version:

i think it still needs a few adjustments, the crown doesn't seem to fit in well with the rest of the image.
please tell me what you think!
