Last September 27 and 28, Teacup Ideas participated in its first-ever bazaar--and it was exhausting!!! The preparation of our products took at least a month, and I had to juggle between my 8-hour office work, daily chores, social life and finalizing things for the event--hence my temporary hiatus from blogging. Was it a success? The event was, but our products didn't sell like hotcakes (except for our hand-painted greeting card that is,) still, it was a good experience despite the setbacks. Anyway, I took a photo of what's left of the products that I made for the past few weeks:
Yummy food magnets for your notes. About 25 cents to 1-peso coin in size.
Lifestyle themed dangling earrings.
Bottled food pendants with brass chain.
Bottled elixir and poison pendants.
Fruit Loops dangling earrings and pendant set.
Various animal dangling earrings.
Bottled poison pendant with brass chain.
Set of Luna Lovegood's raddish earrings with necklace for Potterheads.
The group is yet to figure out how we'll be selling these online, plus I am still unsure how much I will be selling them online, so I can't put a price tag here just yet. But what I can guarantee is that we'll be hitting the bazaars soon enough. Our product line includes other artsy stuff, including tote bags, tees, pouches, accessories and other whatnot products that we can manage to whip up within a given time-frame. I'll be updating the blog for announcements on our next ventures, but until then I invite you to like us on Facebook to get the latest updates about our teacup group.
The blending of their voices is spot on and the melody makes me want to close my eyes smile as I slowly sway my head back and forth. It's a feel-good music and it does makes you want to bathe in the moonlight.
I've always loved indie music, especially when it's sang by serenading voices like these. This is the kind of music that most labels would probably take caution in producing because the market is limited to a niche, but thanks to the internet music like these could now be listened to without having to support big record label companies. Yeah...I have issues with the corporate world.
Me and a couple of friends will soon be presenting our products. It's for the quirky and the artsy folks who loves to express themselves through minute details.

When I realized that our Indochina trip was a go and that we were going to Chiang Mai, I couldn't help but insist going to this place. This wasn't initially in my bucket list, but it immediately became a must-see after I saw photos of the temple online. It's in the province of Chiang Rai, a three-hour ride from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Despite it's modern-artistic-white-washed exterior it's actually a place of worship and is a Buddhist temple. It was such a disappointment that we weren't allowed inside the temple when we got there, but I love the place nonetheless. There's more to Wat Rong Khun than just the usual pictures being shown online. There are museums and wishing areas for visitors. Chalermchai Kositpipat started the project in 1997, but the earthquake last May has resulted into bad damages that they needed repairs in certain areas. Creating a detailed marvel like this cannot be rushed, I just really wish I could have entered the temple when we were there.
In my recent trip to Siem Reap we went to Angkor Wat to witness the sunrise. A few minutes after the spectacle we decided to head back to our tuk tuk, and along the way I spot this horse laying on the grass with no owner in sight. I've loved horses for as long as I could remember, so I took this opportunity to get in as close as possible and take a few snaps before going on my way. The horse was a beauty and was used for horseback riding in Angkor for several dollars, so I didn't ride it. The morning light and the horse's position made for a beautiful rim-light effect, making a few corners of the horse's anatomy be highlighted very dimly. I wasn't able to get a lot of photos, but this was okay enough to post.
