Pet Project: huey&wah @ Etsy
|
All safe and sound! :D
Art for Grabs was totally awesome! I can’t believe we’ve met so many interesting people, made so many new friends and met with so many old ones. It was tiring but I totally enjoyed it!
I didn’t bring our camera so here are just a few photos that I Instagram-ed. And by the way, our marshmallows and cookies from huey&wah were a hit! The marshmallows were all sold out on the first day afternoon, and we actually had customers coming back to get more the next day. So sorry guys! We obviously didn’t expect that. Thank you so much for the encouragement and support! If you are interested to order some (or more), write to us at [email protected]. We’re working on getting affordable and reliable shipping, and really, these sweet little piece of heaven is just so appropriate to be party/wedding favours, don’t you think so? ;)
And here’s a place worth mentioning. If you are ever in K.L, at Central Market, there is this Precious Restaurant and Bar on the first floor of the building. They serve really nice Nyonya food that I could still remember vividly how they taste like, until today. We didn’t know where to settle dinner on Sunday night, and Nadiah of nukilan recommended this cozy little place. I honestly don’t remember having any other Nyonya food that’s better than this – not that I’m a hardcore-Nyonya-food-fan or what, but seriously, try them. And the price was also surprisingly reasonable!
When you go in from the main entrance of Central Market, go upstairs and you’ll see the restaurant there. I’m so definitely going to dine there again!
So we’re traveling again! This time we’ll be away from 7-12 Dec 2011. All orders during this time will be shipped once we are back.
And where will we be heading to? K.L, again (we probably should figure some new places to travel to). We’ll be attending a few appointments, and then Art for Grabs – Human Rights Day on 10 and 11 December 2011, at Annexe Gallery, from 12pm – 8pm on both days.
What will we be bringing this round? Not all NottyPooch goodies. But wallets, journals, and storage bins will be there. And the best part is, they are all at about 50% off. This is strictly an Art for Grabs-deal only. Sweet? :)
And something sweeter. We’ll be bringing a few packs of homemade marshmallows from huey&wah along. When we say a few, we mean it. We have vanilla, lemon, and chocolate marshmallows ready to go into someone’s tummy. Only 6 packs/flavour available, and a few packs have been reserved. I know, why so little? Dude, it’s not easy whipping up this thing and working on orders + preparing for markets + travel at the same time. BUT – see, there is a but. We have prepared some taste testers. So come and eat – while keeping others in mind. We are toying around the idea of offering online order and shipping for this little piece of sweetness soon. Come eat and let us know what you think + help us improve.
And then, we’ll also be bringing some homemade butter cookies along. And, also only limited packs available. These are my parents super-famous butter cookies – no joke. :D
On top of that, we’ll also be bringing some items from our secondary line, ecolala. ecolala is a brand we recently started in order to provide working opportunities for members of disadvantaged groups in the community. We have coin purses, pencil cases, and travel pouches. It’s affordable, and it’s our little effort to work more closely with the community.
And if everything goes well, we should have more exciting news to share after we are back. So see you awesome-people soon! :)
We just came back from Art for Grabs in Kuala Lumpur and are dead tired. But I gotta tell you, the event was more than just fun – it was SUPER FUN! Not only we met some of the other Etsy Malaysia team members for the first time, we also met lots and lots of very fun customers! We both love the crowd there, and seriously are thinking if we should just move to K.L. LOL!
And team member catbun took the photo above when Wah was sitting at other vendor’s space either dreaming or checking some chics around. Gotcha! :P
I’ve been having lots of ideas to expand the Word Find t-shirt but haven’t had the time to work on them. Several weeks ago my mom was asking me about things that she can do for one of her projects and I shared some of these ideas with her. Turned out she had a lot of fun making these, and with some help from my dad, or what she called her ‘sub-con’. LOL!
These cases don’t look exactly like what I had in mind but certainly have their own characters from my parents.
And when they asked if we could bring some along to Art for Grabs, I thought, why not? :)
Counting down and see you soon! :)
 Things are getting a little hectic over here, with preparations and all for Art for Grabs. I’m dead tired. The pressure went up a little with sales that have been a little slower than usual lately.
We’ve been working on new marketing and advertising strategy while preparing for Art for Grabs – and did I mention that those preparations have been more than just fun? I’m hoping to get some time to blog about it this week. Otherwise, you’ll be seeing photos of Art for Grabs, and perhaps together with some behind-the-scene stories. :)
