MAAD Shopping!

Ohhhhh what fun was had yesterday. I met the uber-talented Cindy (Starry Designs) for the first time, bumped into Belinda and had a fun-filled day supporting local artists. We met at the MAAD market at Red Dot Museum, traipsed through Chinatown and spent way too much time laughing at a bead shop :))))

Here is some of my stash from the MAAD event:

1. Cheeky Onesie & knitted bootees
Aren't these ADORABLE!!! Just could not resist taking a set home.

Betsy Toh of Knotty Bicsie is the creative genius behind these oh so cute onesies and crocheted bootees. The onesies have cheeky slogans such as "I POoD" & "Drama Queen".

What I also love is that Betsy crochets bootees in all sorts of wild colours too, not just the traditional baby blue and baby pink.

2. Necklace from Oriental Rose
I'm wearing this piece right now and for once, feel so "with it" (cos it's usually just pearls in the office). Hahahahhahhahahahaha!

The gorgeous Yiwen of Oriental Rose had almost sold out all her creations by the time I visited her table -- way to go, gal!!!

Sorry about the bad pic. Will try to take another one with better light. This piece has sparkly rhinestones :)))

3. Pendant from Jewel Parlour

I spent quite a bit of time admiring Jewel Parlour's items, especially her pendants like this one which is made from a real stamp. Cute, eh!

This was the only stamp pendant, but she also had lovely Japanese flower prints and angels too.

4. Ear-rings from Wenya Designs

Wenya's was the first table encountered on the way into MAAD and the last one you saw when you went out.

I'm glad I stopped by because Wenya Designs has some really unique creations, such as this pair of tool ear-rings. I would've spent more time admiring, but Little Rascal wanted goreng pisang (banana fritters) and the stall at Maxwell Market was calling :)))

5. Other exhibitors of note
