Wednesday cuteness

As you know, my love of cute stuff from Japan knows no boundaries so yet again I did a little late night online shopping over at World of Kawaii. With christmas soon to be upon us I bought some little things for my nieces who are stationary and babushka doll crazy. How cute is the little babushka doll key cover??? Have been to Japan just this April I knew the prices roughly of many of the items and unlike alot of japanese things on etsy they are really reasonably priced!!! so check it out

Mathildas market wrap up

It is funny how manic and exhausting some markets can be but then you realise they go for half a day!! Mathilda's market was once again a successful day for mimoo and it far surpassed my expectations sales wise but as the crowd was a large number I did not get to chat to many customers as it was so frenzied. I thought my table at one stage was going to topple over!! I only got a quick crowd shot because as you can see I was blocked in by market goers. I was glad in the end to have an early set up time as it meant I could get around and say hello to a few friends and meet a few bloggers I follow, which is always great!

I am back out again this weekend over at the Boutique markets (overexposure anyone?) so if you are local come on over and say hi.

mimoo hearts handmade

Sorry for the lack of posts this week as I have been beavering away for Mathilda's Market this weekend!

Speaking of Mathilda's, I received an email newsletter from the madeit.com.au gang yesterday and they had an interview with the organiser of these markets and I really loved the answer she gave below. Check out the full interview over here.

"Why do you love handmade so much?

Nothing beats handmade. Handmade things tell a story that mass produced items just don’t. I love that people put their heart and soul into crafting a handmade item, and that it’s likely to be, if not completely unique, then certainly that little bit special. I also love the little imperfections you see in handmade things that remind you it didn’t come off an assembly line, but was made by a real life, flesh-and-blood person! Oh, and it’s so fun to watch the way people’s eyes light up when they receive something crafted by someone else. So many things to love!"
