And of course how can I leave out my precious sticker monster! (click on the pictures!)

If you fancy nail art stickers, I have really dainty ones!

If you loveeee sponge-felt stickers and wanna press them all day long, I have too many colourful ones!

If you adore whimsical pointless felt and pink in colour stickers, I have some sweet and weird ones!

If you are craving for some good ol’ DIY session, how about some glow in the dark sparkly sheet to complete that craft project of yours?

This post might look late to most of you but trust me, I’m very proud of myself already at this relatively speedy update. New Year’s Eve post still sitting around somewhere.. heehee.

Back in April, Sharyl had another one of her fantastic Absolute Bazaar aptly named Absolute Bazaar 3 at 3k-inn, Subang. Since it coincided with my holidays, why not set up stall right?

Ei Leng and Charis, my two juniors who are equally gung-ho about the online blogshop scene, took up on my offer to share a spot at the bazaar. So I lugged all their clothes in my car (the entire backseat was filled up with Sweet Toothsome’s stock) and the two of them spent the night at my house labelling their clothes, and me, my stickers. 🙂


l-r: Kwo Kuang, myself, Joshua.

Because Kwo Kuang liked colours, I invited him to the bazaar (also because he claims that his saturdays are far too free for his liking and he would rather spend them taking photos and that he is also a good friend for offering to teman me). As for Joshua, one of his friends had a stall and he was there to help out. Bazaars are great for bumping into old friends, I think I met up to 10 people from my high school and college!


Stupid flash. Even Andy came to give support.  He came down to KL with the juniors so since most of them came to offer their support, he came as well. 🙂


Say hello to Samuel! He is my Desperate Housewives kaki!!


And Sharyl.. the powerful babe who handles these bazaars single handedly. She’s got another great idea in the works that might actually take the online blogshop by storm. An idea never ever done before by anyone else. It’s all hush-hush but I think I’m allowed to create some excitement! 😀 Online blogshopping will never be the same again! I’m so looking forward to it.


Andy helps to hold up the store front. Bless him.


Marketing gimmick. You know how sexy girls are placed next to cars to sell the cars? Hot boys can be placed next to stickers to entice the womenkind. Thanks Kev, you’re a gem. 🙂


Me and my partners for the day.


Met Melissa there as well! She’s quite the regular at bazaars too, I can see. 🙂


Can’t remember which blogshop this was, but they customize the accessories on the spot for you!


Kwo Kuang standing up to show some respect to my customers. 😛


Jiaa Jiaa, whom I’ve not seen in ages.


Lagi more people I’ve not seen in ages, Tek Yeh and Jolin.


A nicer pic of melissa and me. Much thanks to whoever who helped with this shot.


Reta!!! What’s it been? Like 4 years?? 🙂


Loving my yellow pvc mini glads.


Stephanie came to help out too. She was the self-proclaimed pre-loved caretaker. She was ecstatic when she managed to sell one of my t-shirts. Never worn before one leh!


Poh Yee dropped by as promised.


Myself and the juniors who were very intrigued with the whole bazaar concept. 😉


Stupid Kwo Kuang putting one of my box on my head before snapping this. Damn you!

Two Saturdays ago, there were two bazaars to attend. Since I had all the time in the world, I decided to check both bazaars out.

The first was A Shopaholics Den’s Birthday Bash at Of The Crest, 3 Two Square. I must say, Yien Yee did a fantastic job at choosing her venue. With each bazaar that is held, future bazaar operators take note of the do’s and don’ts and come up with full proof bazaar that can entice the crowd.

Though most of the sellers whom I spoke to complained that business wasn’t exactly brisk due to the amount of competitors present at the bazaar (note: the bazaar had about a hundred blog shops) but for buyers who were there for a major shopping spress, I couldn’t be any happier!

Seriously, this was the first time that I’ve shopped at a bazaar and ran out of money. The sucky part is that there was no ATM available at the entire place. So another thing to take note is to ensure that the place you’re renting for your bazaar is equipped with ATMs.


See how high the ceilings are? Maximum breathing space for excited shoppers.


Met Eliza and May – the two pretty owners of PHAT Culture.


One with Eliza!


*GASPP* Competitorrrr.. Not that the person was selling stickers or anything. But there’s a blinged hello kitty thing on the left hand corner of the pic, do you see it..?


That’s Jeremy from My favouritees! He is manning the entire business by himself, hats off to him! The guy has the most awesome statement t-shirts ever!


I think I bought my striking purple leggings from My Clothes Affair. I can’t really remember.


Ahh..my infamous Lady Gaga’s liquid leggings were from this blogshop: Bows Lover!


There were jewelries in excess there as well.


Very cute looking things from Just Girl Shop.


As you can see, the entire place was over flowing with clothes, bags, clutches and anything imaginable to womenkind.


Gorgeous heels!


Plus gorgeous bags. I bought like three bags.. hahahaha.


Would you squeeze through that to find that one piece of treasure? I would!


These accessories looked pretty edgy! I like! Too bad I can’t remember which blogshop this was.


The famous Alicewonders and her legion of bags.

After running out of money, I headed back to Subang Jaya where the TwoMADSBazaar was held. It was held at 3k-inn ever since poor Absolute Bazaar came up with the ingenious idea.


The crowd was a little smaller there. Perhaps marketing could have been turned up a few notches and also, it was their first time. A usual scenario for the first time bazaars. You need to carve a name for yourself in the scene before bringing in the crowds.


Met my junior from high school, Sabrina and her blogshop partner there! Check out their blog shop, Lazy Shoppers!


There were even Crocs for sale. 0_0


Got myself a few clever statement t-shirts from this bazaar. Once read: “Born in the 80s”. Another, “I make Boys Cry” and the last piece, “myboyfriendis here *with an arrow pointing right*”.


And from Baby Be Dazzled, I bought a Little Miss statement tee that read, “Little Miss Boobjob.”

Can’t wait to be back so that I can go for more bazaars! You lucky klang valley dwellers, better be appreciative and attend these bazaars whenever you can! Grrr.
