Craft Fair

Overall the craft fair was really awesome! I met a lot of awesome and creative people and it was a cool experience. It was also really tiring and I was literally knocked out for a good few hours after on the couch.

It wasn't so busy the first day so everyone was trading their stuff with each other instead, which was nice too (I got some pretty cool stuff myself). The second day was busier and so everyone made more sales which was great!

While I was at the fair a number of people suggested that I contact Victoire to see if they would be interested in selling some of my stuff in their store. My sister Ting, already has some of her stuff there which she says is selling pretty well. She also makes jewelry and you can check out some of her stuff on her etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/acidzip !!

 Here are some photos I took at the Craft Fair.




 

 Here's some of the stuff I got at the fair!

I got a really cute pair of black, high waisted shorts from Savannagh and Magida. They're reworked vintage shorts so they are nice and tight around the waist but loose and comfy at the bottom. (you can find more from Savannagh and Magida at http://www.etsy.com/shop/SMknickknackeries)

I got an ink drawing of a whale at the fair too from Sarai. (you can find her at http://www.canitakeyourportrait.com/)



Last of all I got an awesome framed Polaroid shot from Regreta Brown. (here's her blog http://aformalistapproach.tumblr.com/)

Still Alive!...Kinda...

Sorry for not posting in so long! I was busy this whole time with exams and summatives since the education system seems to really enjoy torturing us so.

Anyways, I'll be participating in a Craft Fair this weekend at the new Archives Building near Centrepointe where I'll be selling jewelry I made. I like working with my hands so for me making jewelry is a nice pass time of mine. I've also set up an Etsy store (which you'll find to the right) which I'll be updating soon with some stuff.

I still can't believe the the fair is tomorrow (there's so much I still have to do...). I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but at least I have a little bit of experience from helping my sister with hers before.

The fair will be open this Saturday and Sunday from 10-4 so feel free to drop by and visit! The name of my stand will be Asymmetrics. :)

Here's a little of what you'll be seeing if you come.

Some of the necklaces...

Some earrings...

Introductions...

I'm Linda and I'm a lover of food and fashion, mainly food since i have been known to have a black hole for a stomach. The name of my blog I know is not the most creative (I suck at coming up with names) I promise you it does not reflect on my creativity. It does however hint at my adoration of cats as I do expect to grow up into a beautiful, old cat lady with 100 cats and counting. This blog will be a miss-mash of my everyday life with posts on my wardrobe/food/art/cats/photography/and any DIY projects I find time to complete :)

I'll leave you guys with this picture of an adorable cat to keep you busy until my next post.
