me and markets : night cake market

I'm so glad that I went to this market with my mother last week.

I had been here before but that was like years ago, so I'm

completely forget how amazing this whole market was actually.

Imagined you are surrounded by boxes and boxes of cakes

and pastries in a really long alley with people shopping and

dropping of another boxes and boxes of cakes in plastics or

already wrap in pretty paperie ready to be send as gifts or

wedding celebrations. This night market has been established

for almost a decade and there are two groups of sellers

every night. The one at starts at 8 PM - 2 AM and the second

group is from 3 AM-9 AM. I wish I could take more pictures

but I just couldn't stand to be moved around with that many

people there. Oh how I love Jakarta's markets! Yay!

Trade Tuesday : blueberryshoes

I met blueberryshoes for sometime in etsy chat but until

recently that we decide to do a craft swaps. She makes so

many cool things from art, plushies and jewellery with

vintage and shabby chic style that I love.

See that cute duck plushie and brooch? They all mine now.

And I'm a happy lady. Thanks to miss blueberryshoes and

crafty fingers. Glad we met, Miss! Now, you can check her

out yourself at http://www.blueberryshoes.etsy.com

me and my etsy: new ladies on the shoppe!

These are an old series for my first collage exhibition last year.

I just had the time to scanned them and put them at the shoppe

as blank cards for your enjoyment. And one new piece of art print

from my small Paperie Pose series is also available starting today.

Oh I'm so excited with this big updates! Hope you are as excited as

me here, peeps! Now go and do some shopping spree;)

me and crafts : making pincushions!

I will shamelessly admit that I am really proud of these ladies.

I have been thinking of making a new crafts forever and when

you are surround yourself with bunches of amazingly crafty

friends you can't help to feel a bit leave behind everytime you

see them come up with their new craftworks. Envy is good.

So last week I've start to draw a picture of a teacup pincushion

everytime I go to my fave flea market and see scattered of these

teacups almost everywhere. And here they are, four of them,

now available at http://www.bikinbarang.blogspot.com/

since yesterday. Not bad for a first attempt, right? Teehee!

Sunny Sunday

This is another busy and fullfilling Sunday with the sun shining

just right. I wento to my favorite craft supplies market and take

a short walk to another market looking for some vintage tea cups

where I found a second hand Scrabble set in a perfect condition!

Yay! Yay! Oh have I told you that me and the boy are hopeless

scrabble junkies?

Then I went back home making some new crafts to put at a friend's

craft shop afterwards. Meeting her for a big bowl of noodle and my

caramel latte intake for the day, before going back home to go to a

gig with the boy and our friends. Finishing the day by playing two

rounds of Scrabble until three in the morning. I know, what a long

day today. Awesomeness. Now, tell me yours.
