Tokyo trip - Day five

Today I spent 12 hours manning my stall at the International Bazaar at the Tokyo Anerican club! It's been a long day but well worth it. I sold lots of bags and got to catch up with familiar faces as well as meet some new ones too. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported me! I will be there again tomorrow from 10am to 2pm. Here's to another fruitful day.

Open House

Last night's Open House event was so much fun! We had bubbly and nibbles and lots of lovely people turned up to see my bags. I also did a few tours of my studio and was able to show a bit about how I go about making each item.

Products on sale included some fab tote bags that I made recently. I will be adding them to my store soon. I also had some new handbags for sale, made from embroidered Indian silks in juicy turquoise and emerald colours, also to be added to my store soon.

Shop and relax

I've pretty much recovered from the jet lag and am on fine form for my next bag sale which is tonight at the Orchard School in East Molesey (near Hampton Court). I'm all set up and ready to go. Tonight's event is called 'Shop and Relax Evening' and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people and selling a few bags. I even have a glass of bubbly to help the evening flow!

International Bazaar 2014

The International Bazaar is just days away now and I'm getting very excited! I head off to Tokyo tomorrow and it will be my first time back there in a year. It will be so lovely to see the city again, as well as catch up with good friends and do a bit of fabric shopping. I've already arranged to go to an antique market on Sunday (one of my favourites) and have trips to Tomato in Nippori planned (Tomato is a five storey fabric haven) as well as a visit to my favourite clasp shop in Kuramae.

I'll be selling my wares at the International Bazaar while I'm there. 

It will be held at the Tokyo American Club on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th November. There will be a great selection of items to choose from and it's a fab chance to stock up on christmas presents.

Please pop along if you are in that neck of the woods, it would be lovely to see you!

Tokyo calling

It looks like I have just signed up to do the International Bazaar at the Tokyo American club, which means another visit to Tokyo in November - woo hoo! I can't wait. 

Better get sewing….

International Bazaar 2013

The International Bazaar at the Tokyo American Club is now over and was a great success. It was held on Wednesday and Thursday and drew in a good crowd. It was great to get to see some of my friends whilst working there, as well as catching up with returning customers and meeting new ones. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past few days and I look forward to coming back next year!
