Hello dear readers! It's been a crazy week. I'm sorry I've neglected my regular blog posting! I usually spend my free time queuing blog posts, but last week I've been busy preparing for
ManikaManila's Tiangge. The event was held last Saturday, October 20, at Greenbelt Parkplace in Legazpi Village, Makati City.
 |
| My booth named Chocochipmunk. I still have leftovers, which I'll be selling online soon! :D |
Tiangge is Filipino for "bazaar", which was exactly what the event was all about. Some of our members (including me!) put up booths and sold both handmade and pre-loved items. There were items that were raffled as well! It was one of the most successful events held by ManikaManila so far. Over a hundred people attended! It was like a mini Dollism! How awesome is that?
 |
| Violet, Miette and Blair - my pretty models |
This was my first time being an entrepreneur. It was scary but exciting at the same time. I'm just glad my booth was quite a success. Yay money, LOL! I'll probably use the money I earned to open a dolly bank account. *u*
Anyway, click on

I regret not being able to buy the usamimi on Violet's head. The design is soooo adorable. Although am glad I was able to buy some from you before the event ended!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I praise your photography skills because I know it was a little too dark in the venue! The fact that you were able to capture these photos so clearly amazes me!
ALSO, MSDs REPRESENT! I think this is the first time EVER I've seen so many MSDs in one shot. And with adorable furniture too.
Last of all, thanks for the birthday gift Kass! Violet looks really gorgeous now! ^_^ I plan to make her my wallpaper soon.
