ISB Car Boot Sale

As i mentioned before in a previous blog, part of our Microfinance Project for uni is to help the craftspeople of Tutong in promoting their handicraft products. Creating some exposure for them, so to speak. We're hoping they'll work towards supplying for gift stores and hotels.

ISB is having a Car Boot Sale next Sunday (18th Nov 2007), and they have kindly provided us with space for this project. Please come by and have a look if you're interested. There will be handwoven baskets (as can be seen in our poster) and the like, for sale. And also, stuffed pillows/animals which are the cutest things ever. They're covered in soft felt and hand-washable. You should see the stitching on them.. I've got one of those pillows in my car actually. hehe

If you have any questions, my classmates and I will be milling around during the event. That's us in the middle picture although it's pretty much just dots of colour. Biggest thanks to Anne who helped design our poster. Hopefully we'll see u next wkend. =)

I just love finding odds and ends in garage sales and all that. Not surprising that my favourite places ever include Portobello Market and Covent Garden. I do miss spending hrs just walking around and checking out the stuff ppl find to sell. Doesnt matter if i end up buying nothing. It's just such a rush. May have bought the Rebel his birthday JD glassware from Portebello on one such trip.

Yesterday I brought Meow along with me to OGH where the BCL (British Community Link) ladies were having their Festive Fayre. Posh garage sale, we described it as. I very much enjoyed it.. ended up buying a few bits here and there. Meow seemed to enjoy herself as well. She bought clothes, and earrings, and 2 Xmas mice. Oh, dont get her started on the mice. I admit they're adorable.. one holds a gingerbread man and the other holds a wreath. But dont ask her abt them. She'll tell u all abt waking up to them both staring at her and her thinking she heard them singing "Silent Night". I think she has rodents on the brain.
