Update on the Port Moody Craft Fair

Just a quick update on the fair that I participated. It was GOOD overall. I didn't make a lot of sales but good enough, actually considering the low traffic that we had, I made enough sales.

What is more important is that I met 8 other crafters who are very crafty in their fields. We managed to fit our tables in a basement where the craft fair was held. Some of them are Etsian sellers and some of them sell locally. We learned from each other, not only about crafting and turning a hobby into business but also sharing our life as a mom. Most of these crafters are moms of young toddler like myself.

Furthermore, an idea came up to do another fair at a different venue. Apparently one of the ladies lives in a great complex with 'captive' audience with a gym that we can book. Sharing the cost definitely can make the pricebecome reasonable. We'll see how it goes.


These teabag holder seems to be a hit. You can find them at my shop. They are really great for stocking stuffers.

Port Moody Craft Fair


I'm crazy busy preparing for the fair that is going to be held on this upcoming Sunday, November 1st. The Tri-City News writes an article in it which is a GREAT publicity for us.

The story on how this fair started is quite interesting. See, my parents introduced me to their message therapist while I stayed at their place in Port Coquitlam, BC. My dad told her that I make cards. During some treatment sessions, we talked about crafts. She herself is crafty but she doesn't have time to really doing it between her work and taking care of her toddler, who is only 2 days older than Ethan. She then said that what about having a craft fair at her house, at least that's the first step for her getting anything crafty.

Long story short, I managed to get 2 etsian sellers to join the fair and these ladies managed to get their friends to join as well. The more the merrier!

Here are some paper goodies that I'll be bringing. There are more in work now.


So if you're in the area, please come by. We'd love to see ya! Details can be found here.

Settling Down

I can't believe that we're at the end of October already. Soon, there'll be December and that means Christmas is approaching. Phew, time flies too soon indeed.

We're slowly settling down in our new place, got TV and internet installed 2 days ago. Our place is not big but we do feel cozy, which is more important in my opinion.


Good things that we kept most of our belongings before we left to Indonesia in early 2008. Some were sold and given away. At the end we only had to purchase a few. Since this for sure NOT the final moving, we'd rather not buying more stuff unless it's necessary (of course my supplies is an exception!). Lol.

But moving is VERY stressful and we move a lot. *sigh*... at least for now.

And here is my little nook, located in the corner of my bedroom. The table will be a bit bigger once we put glass on top of it, which we need to pick it up at my parents' place this weekend.


I can't get enough of snowman, by the way. This one is one of my favorites and available at my shop.
