Thank you to those visited me at @handmadecanberra

Thank you to those visited me at @handmadecanberra 1.5 weekend ago. It was huge for me after 3 years of market hiatus after all the cancellations and postponing…

It took me almost a week recovering from post market. I still find myself falling asleep on the couch after dinner the last few evenings. I hit the hay before my kids 🫣

In fact I have been busy at the back scene! My attempts to go for a run after 3 months of healing rest on my heel. Went to see an eye specialist in Barton today. My visions are still blurry since the dilation agent onto my eyes this morning. Will get into more detail the next few days. I received a few wholesale orders and orders right after the market, literally back to back. Thank you for the orders! 🙏

A very special and warm thank you to my repeat customers, my friends and fellow stallholders. You truly came and check me out (as my video suggested) 😘 It was so good to see you all! I’m sorry if I ever came across very quiet. I was actually resting my heels from standing too long 😅 This bloody pandemic really sent me off to more introvert. I have becoming very good at minding my own business even more 😆

Its always filled with joy seeing you sharing stories about where and what you bought my products. And that you telling me how much you adore my work. How much you loved what you have purchased. You would wear different enamel pins you bought from me on your work attire everyday (you are so cool 😎). I remembered a few of you came up to me thanking me for creating something fun and uniquely Canberra as well as the quirky gift I created. To me, how I see it as why not have lots of fun and roll with it! 😚 After all, life is too short to gift boring gifts!

A heads up letting you know that I may be bit quiet the next few weeks given I’m now starting to plan my next market. I will be at the Finders Keepers market in Melbourne from 14~16 October! My first time with FKM! So excited! I will most likely holding off launching new items as I will be bringing them to Melbourne:)
That’s right Melburnian!! I’m coming! Save the date y’all! 💕👌🏻

Unveiling next design from our new wearable art range! Please meet my flower!

I never was a flower lover kinda person until I started working and dating my husband (my boyfriend back then). I like different kind of flowers different stage of life. I particularly like yellow Billy Buttons. And then I moved onto loving and appreciating native protea (and eucalyptus flower too!) since the move to Canberra. There’s so many native flora in our surrounding. I felt so blessed being able to see them everyday.

Do you have any favourites? 🌸😘

This is one of my early years work. There’s no iPad nor Apple Pencil back then. I created it purely using just ink pen on sketchbook. Missing those good old time drawing and drawing like there’s no tomorrow 🥰
