For over a month, I have been preparing for this event, the largest indie art & craft fair in Hong Kong. Reforming from packing to table set up, expected to enjoy a bath of sunshine with my best friend Nicole.

Turn out it's a cloudy and rainy day. Our table was relocated to be under a shelter, with a green shop next by, and neighbouring with Totit. Soon Nicole and me found there were problems for that location: Plants from the green shop is blocking the way (Luckily they were happy to re-locate them), the path was kinda narrow, while kids passing they probably could destroy our precious fragile crafts. We tried different approaches to make sure the table, the path, visitors and us can fit with this packed environment in a cozy way.

While we start our set up, visitors started approaching. DB visitors are very nice and they appreciate local handmade very much. Some buy a few pieces for themselves and for their friends; some are buyers, reporters who were looking for interesting handmade products. One of the very special visitors was my primary & secondary school friend Elly. We were only managed to chat for a short while, as the stall was busy for the time. Glad to have Nicole taking care of my customers sometimes, and being my photographer. Here I wanna share some of her masterpieces.
