Where everything is handmade…
The last time I wrote about this was few years ago. We turned 3 and 4 then. Now, it’s Artisan Paperie‘s 8th Anniversary. 8 years! I’ve been in the creative business, officially. When I had the courage in opening a design studio and craft shop 8 years ago. Wow! Can you believe that? I’m still having a hard time believing it. Every year, …
Admittedly, I’m a very lousy blogger since this year started (It’s been years, who am I kidding?). To be honest though, I quite miss it. I’m not really a writer yet somehow writing has been part of my creative process. I like writing on my journals and I blog what I do, thinking someone might be inspired as …
I’m so excited to share with you my first craft gig this year. It’s Color and Calligraphy Fair with National Bookstore. This is so exciting because I’ve been drooling over their photos on instagram: @iam_artisan when they had this in Manila and Cebu. And now their doing it in Davao, woohoo! The fair is about showcasing …
The week was kinda not on my side. Either the universe was telling me to slow down or it was just a bad week for me. First, I got a flu last weekend. Second, I spilled coffee on my laptop and it needed some repair. Lastly, I am sick again with some stomach flu. I feel …
Davaoeños were shocked with what happened last night. For those who were not informed yet, there was a bomb incident in Roxas Night Market. And as of last night, there were already 10 casualties and 60 injured. I normally don’t post issues like this but Roxas Night Market is somewhat home for me. Wacky and I …
I haven’t been painting for weeks now and I realised that whenever I paint, it keeps my creativity flowing. So yeah, since I haven’t done it for quite some time, I’m experiencing a minor creative block. I’m supposed to submit a logo design yet I cannot come up with anything. Last night, I pushed myself to …
Do you remember, November of last year, I did a Watercolour Lettering with CBTL? Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is back again here in Davao and they’re doing a Street Art Series this time. The theme is Create: Brew Your Masterpiece, where participants will be taught to unleash their creativity through a mural. They already started the series in Cebu at …
Seriously, it’s already February? I haven’t felt January yet. Although, I did feel it in a form of Sinulog, workshops and a little beach on the side {Definitely what I love about Davao. Well in the Philippines actually. It’s always summer}, meeting with clients and hanging out with friends. January is indeed the busiest month …
Happy New Year everyone! Wow! It’s 2016. Last year was something else. Met a lot of people; Tried so many things that I haven’t done before; Went to a lot of places; Gained and lose some in terms of weight and experienced different emotions too. This was a photo of me and my sister when I was …
Back when I was still doing custom printing, I was always present whenever there’s a print expo. Then few years back, there was an expo here in Davao called Print and Label Philippines and shared the Manila printer suppliers and Davao printer suppliers. If you find papers and printers something that makes you giddy like me, then this …
For most of you who’ve been reading along or following my instagram feed, you’d probably noticed that I’m very much into coffee. Not that I drink too much of it, but I just really love coffee. But few years ago, when I discovered this drink called milk tea in Taiwan, I went gaga over it. …
You know how some girls find shoes and bags fascinating? For a time, I asked myself, how come I never had that thing? Then I realized, it’s not those things that are calling my name every time I go shopping. It’s mostly gadgets. Yes! I may like handmade and crafty things, but I am very much into gadgets …
Hello there! I’m back few weeks ago and I’m already busy preparing for another great project. Oh! The universe is just so good to me. And it’s giving me projects that I’ve been a fan of ever since. First was Instax, and now Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Yes! I’m doing something exciting for CBTL. First, let’s …
Few days ago, I posted about the Etsy Made in Canada vendors from stationery, jewelry and home decors. I really had to control myself from spending most of my travel budget for those beautifully handmade products. But I cannot leave that handmade market without getting myself something. Of course, it had to fit my budget. Here are the small knick knocks …
One of my resolutions was to blog constantly. Apparently, it’s not happening. Yes, I feel embarrassed for not committing to that. But I try. I really do. Forgive me because this post is one year and three days late. This event happened the last time my mom and I were in Vancouver. I was supposed to …
