[ EXCITED ]

This coming weekend is Children’s Day weekend 💕💕💕 and I’m really excited to share that we will be sunshine-ing at the beautiful shophouse space doing a little something different! 😍

We will be having a Bottle Art Jamming Workshop Activity Booth alongside other amazing local brands and crafters! 🍾🎨

We will also be selling our extremely kawaii limited pieces Wellness Pins which I’m still thinking about how can I put them on my bag because i love them ALL so much lol (*excited silent scream*) 😆🤭 Love every inspiring word on the pins we have curated and I hope they will bring joy to you - inside out ☺️💕

The event theme for this weekend is REVIVE, REMAKE & REIMAGINE and I’m so thankful to team .sg for inviting us to be part of this❣️Together, and I have spent the past weeks cleaning up craft beer bottles for this art jam and it’s so meaningful for my heart to see how we can revive, remake and reimagine how these bottles can turn into everyday art that can be displayed in your homes or offices 🥹🥲

This workshop activity is suitable for 9-99 years old and beyond!! No registration is needed, just walk in (limited to first come first serve arrival and availability of bottles) 💕 If your child is below 9 years old, an adult will need to accompany the child.

Lastly, for the faint hearted friends who feel they can’t draw, we got you covered too! 🥰 There will be some drawing guides available to help you make fun patterns on your bottle art ✍️🥰💕

I can’t wait to meet you all soon! Looking forward to art jamming together this weekend!! See you ❤️

[ Sept - Oct Shenanigans ]

Last night I had a bad dream which might have sprouted from a place where I felt a tad anxious if I was in a good timeline to manage my upcoming October projects - pre-event jitters 🥹🥲🙏 But you know life is still good because the reality is bad dreams don’t last and God makes living life itself beautiful 😭💕

After I started the mid-day with AMAZING coffee at , collecting my printed event posters for our upcoming October event workshops at , I thought I’ll pop by Meiling Street neighbourhood to support our local businesses and get some workshop supplies for a CSR community project which the sunshine team will be involved in.

LO and BEHOLD, as I was leaving Meiling Street, I spotted a cute handmade signboard that says Lee Craft! 😍😍 I couldn’t resist popping in and met Ms Lee who is a crafter who just moved in the neighbourhood a year ago selling handmade crafts in her colourful shop! I couldn’t resist but to buy a few handmade items that caught my eye!! (Swipe to the last 3 photos to see them displayed in my home studio!) 🪴🌈🌼🪷

As I was about to leave, I saw another lady taking pictures of flowers next door and curiously asked if this was a flower shop and found out she’s a pressed flower crafter (❣️) and we ended up chatting about a common crafter friend we know 😭❤️

What a lovely-lovely day of much beautiful shenanigans that encouraged my heart and made my bad dream disappear in a puff! ❤️

P.S. It was so amazing to meet you both Ms Lee , Rora and discovering we both know 😍😍 Thank YOU for bringing my day joy with your craft creations, conversations and stories ❤️❤️

I’m grateful and inspired by how amazing life can be ♥️🙂

[ Let your light shine ]

So grateful to have the opportunity to facilitate a Teachers’ day appreciation craft workshop for the Sunday School team at QLC earlier this afternoon ❤️

Together, we learnt to make a personalised paper cut jar lamp 😌✨ It was such a treat to see everyone’s smiles, craft alongside one another and hear the creative inner child’s inspiration behind each jar lamp story 🥰

It was lovely to also see banter amongst the team joking how the roles are reversed as they are now the students instead of being in their usual teacher roles 🤭😜🤩

May the beautiful jar lamps made today remind you what a blessing you are to the children whom you guide every week, dear teachers! Continue to let your light shine bright ✨✨✨ Happy Teachers’ Day! 🤩

📸: Thanks and for helping me capture such additional awesome photos!

[ Here We Are ]

🙂🏡

It is coming to our 19th year staying at Queenstown, Singapore estate and I cannot imagine moving anywhere else to be home sweet home 🥲🏠 Queenstown is the first satellite new town in Singapore and is named after Queen Elizabeth ll to mark her coronation in 1953.

This morning, I felt so honoured to have a group of seniors visit our home studio as part of a Queenstown heritage trail walking tour by Tapestry Trails 🇸🇬

Shared with the group how when we first moved here in 2006, we wanted to honour and celebrate our local community’s businesses so we actually got our rattan dining chairs from a local craftsman located at Alexandra Village🪑 When we started our Sunshine&Love home studio in 2015, we also explored collaborating with an gelato shop located near ABC Brickworks Food Centre to gift our participants a tub of their delicious gelato after they attended our craft workshop! 🍨

As our nation turns 60 years old soon, I would like to say thank you dear Singapore for being my home that I have grew to appreciate and love over the years as we journey on in our everyday’s unfolding stories ❤️

“Threads of a tapestry
A house full of love
Every voice is a story
Waiting to unfold”

Can never get tired of painting sunflowers! 🥹🌻 Maybe it’s the pretty shades of yellow, maybe it’s the therapeutic painting process, maybe I’m also biased as it’s one of my favourite flowers 🥹🌼

Had lots of fun painting this pair of espadrilles and I hope it will meet its Cinderella owner at our upcoming pop up with at ☺️🌼

📌 12-14 August, Tues-Thurs, 11am-4pm

See you! 💛

[ Hello August ☕️🎵🌼]

Recently there have been new friends and followers who said hello and I thought it’s been a long time since i did a post - even though I don’t always know what to share 🙃💕

Some fun facts:

I can live without a TV (probably only for a while?! 🤪) but definitely not without music everyday! Thankful we now have smart phones where I can bring my music everywhere I go including the bathroom and toilet 😆🫣🤪 I have a playlist on Spotify which includes songs from all genres and languages 🎶🎵

It’s been 10 years and I still love painting but painting for work these years with has brought me through seasons where somedays I feel obligated with a sense of responsibility more than joy and peace. I’m grateful for the last 2 years of learning to go slow, to adjust and realign my inner being to not see work as my core identity but instead a place where I can be a blessing to the people around me 🥹🙏

I’m thank-full for the opportunity to bounce back from my long break to paint with and join X (with new and old friends ) for a cafe-bazaar SG60 pop up. (Swipe left to check out more details!) 🌱

“The faster the world, the slower the heart needs to go…” 🥹🌼

Make a date with us on 12-14 August from 11am-4pm to slow down and have meaningful conversations over a cuppa ☕️ See you all soon (!) and I hope your August will be one filled with joy ❤️

[ ‘Story Art’ Accessories Holder ]

Everyday is a story to live out a new chapter of our lives 🙂🌱📖 Every person we meet, every path we take leads us to crossroads with the opportunity of a new journey! 🌈🌱

When I was attempting to paint this wooden tray, I was thinking of a crossroad path and couldn’t resist making a story art out of these two travelling figurines and a handpainted aerial landscape city view 💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️🌳 These figurines which come with the accessories holders can be moved around - for you - to create your own story 📖🌱

It’s our first time painting a wooden accessories holder like this! 🥰🎨 In the weeks ahead, and I will be painting a few more pieces of ‘Story Art’. They are perfect holders to display your cute accessories, trinkets, stationery and knick knacks ☺️🗝️💍🖇️

‘Story Art’ accessories holder will be available at our upcoming pop up with from 12-14 August, 11am - 4pm at ☕️📚

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks! ❤️

[ Gifts 🎁 ]

Throwback a couple of months back to this special customised gift that and I painted for our client! She wanted us to glass paint this bunny on a couch designed by Taiwanese artist ~ emmaAparty for her dearest friend’s birthday 🐰💕 with the words “Life Happens, Wine Helps” on a wine glass 🤓🙃🤓🙃

Painting this colourful couch was quite a challenge and to be brutally honest, we were initially not sure if we could eventually achieve the design’s original look and feel! Grateful that gamely took up this challenge request for our client 🥹🙏 Thank you for trusting us with this gift request! 😌🍷

P.S. Hello June to everyone! Can’t believe it’s half year of 2025 already 😮‍💨😮‍💨 Shall we? Let’s continue to press on the next half with hearts of faith, hope and love 🥰

Our Story

“For the love of sunshine & handpainted gifts”

Sunshine & Love is a local artisan who focuses on creating happy handpainted gifts from your everyday objects. We love seeing these seemingly mundane items get transformed into unique works of art that can be used as vases, drinking jars, stationery holders, money banks, home decoration items etc. Every item created is unique and 100% handpainted.

About the Chief Painter

Amelia enjoys handpainting on your everyday objects like mason jars, plates, mugs, beer bottles, and even pasta sauce bottles! She loves seeing them transformed into happy gifts for the people around her. One of the things Amelia enjoys the most about creating jar and plate art is when her clients share their gift requests and design ideals. Each request is so unique and special! Besides individual requests, her clients include Sew Into It, All Saints Home, Coffee Today Cafe, Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, WorldWide Marriage Encounter, Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic. She has also collaborated with Terra Village, Sprout Language Centre and Chinatown Heritage Centre for festive workshops and events. Other signature events that Amelia has participated in include Singapore Design Week, Makers Faire, ArtBox Singapore, Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival Light up and URA’s Streets for People. Amelia currently also runs workshops at her cosy home studio conveniently located at Queenstown. For more of Amelia's handpainted gifts, you can also check out @sunshinenlove_sg on Instagram!
