Fleamarket and Updates

Joined a fleamarket recently and well, did make some income to cover the rental. I was selling mostly stuff you don't find in fleamarkets. Afterall, fleamarket is one where you sell second-hand goods. However, this definition has somewhat shifted. You can now call it craft/fleamarket. Yep, I was selling crafts like small notebooks (in pic), marking clips (in pic), handmade cards, peel-off stickers, etc.

These small notebooks are not handmade, but they are redecorated. I covered the cover with coloured paper and just add in stamped figures, cut-outs, etc. I only sold 20 on that day. Well, at least I did sell some of them!

These are marking clips from Japan. They are kawaii ("cute" in Japanese). These are preferably be used as paperclips instead of bookmarks as they are made of metal and may cut the paper (you bookmark a page but you use paperclip to hold more than a piece of paper). Also, not for children under 7 (this is a kiasu parent - "kiasu" is someone who doesn't want to lose out).

I also advertise cross stitching, tatting and card making services on that day too. My friend saw the tatted cross bookmark and am working on it for her.

Other than that, I don't have any other orders. Sad but am still glad that there are people who stop by at my stall and look at my stuff. To all these people (customers and potential customers), I thank you. Am sorry I'm not a good salesperson as I don't talk much but hope that the products are satisfactory to you.

Currently am working on a photo cross stitch for a customer. The piece is half completed so I'm finishing it. I underestimated the time so I have to work doubly hard to finish the piece on time and without compromising on the quality of my work. Seems like I never learn my lesson in estimation **Sigh**.
