Handmade Market, Lex Empire Gallery

We were at Lex, Empire Gallery Subang last Saturday. It was the first Handmade Market organized in that mall and it was fun! :) Well, the crowd was not as encouraging as the previous markets that I've participated in but it was fun! I guess there was not enough publicity yet (or they were not shameless enough in telling people about the event, as my friend puts it... hahahahaha)

Here's some pictures of my booth & stuffs :) I shared a booth with Square Art and my resident photographer/postcard buddy was there too!

I guess the organizers really have to step it up to promote the Handmade Market better to draw in the crowd.. especially cos they are on the 2nd floor of the mall and hidden in one corner.. Some feedback I heard from people were that the people at the information counters were not fully informed, there were not enough buntings and clear signages... my dad even had to put one of the bunting up properly on his way down the escalator... seems it was overturned.. someone must have knocked it over... hmmmm

That said, because the crowd was not as packed, it gave me the chance to go mingling with the other sellers and take lotsa pictures! Something I was never able to do at other craft markets! Well, pros and cons! hahahaha.... Still, I'm willing to go give it another try if there's another handmade market there... cos I like the fun people I surround myself with :)

A special thanks to my parents, grandma & aunt who came to support me too... It really means a lot to me! And as always, my hubby is there to help me & keep me company :) He's the sweetest! Oh, and Alvin (postcard/photographer) was around the whole day on Saturday too so I was not alone... yeay! :)

The partners-in-crime :)

Go green

I try to recycle and go green whenever I can.... like saving my scraps cos I *know* that I will use them someday, up-cycling used calendars, use own paper bags or grocery bags when out grocery shopping (unless I ran out of bags for my dustbins... I use my own bag), blah blah blah. I know I'm still not that 'green' yet but I hope to contribute to Mother Earth however I can...

I'm gonna share with you now, how I'm storing my mosaic tiles. I bought them loose in little plastic bags so they don't come with a container and I prefer them separated properly so that it's easier for me to pick and choose which colour to use. 

So, I thought of something.... haha... you know those egg containers? Those that comes either in plastic or carton materials? They have many compartments and do make a good separator for my tiles! Look at how pretty the colours are! :D

neat & pretty!

I separated them according to colour scheme... hehe... just how I like it! And you can stack up the cartons together on top of each other if you've got a lot of colours! :)

I love how I've managed to go green & save some $$ too along the way! Gonna be debuting my mosaic tile frames this coming Saturday at Lex, Empire Gallery Subang! I'm taking part in that craft market too... that's the last one for now... Not sure when's the next craft market... so be sure to catch us there! :)
