Bazaar For All Season : November 9-10, 2013

BAZAAR FOR ALL SEASON: Yuletide edition

This may be too late but I cannot let this day pass without this post up on ze blog haha! 

If you wanna know more about the happenings about this event, read on further!

I have been a concessionaire of Bazaar For All Season for quite some time already, and it always feel so special, and positive whenever I am there. Perhaps it's because I get to share 2 days of selling with my co-bloggers, and I get to bond with my blog readers too!

We set-up around 9am, 2 hours before the gates open to the shoppers. I have lots of stuff to prepare and despite the pagod and stress I am still happy because I met lovely people on that day!

Met these two pretty girls, who are both a follower of Simone's Closet. They were the early birds who approached my booth, and imagine they went all the way from work pa! Super touched ako! :) I forgot their names but I won't forget the short time I was with them :)

We launched our very own bohemian maxi dresses on the bazaar, and I tell you it was a success! :) thanks for all those who bought these beauties!!!:)

Then I get to have a photo with these two beauties. And was surprised to know they have been following my crafting escapades all throughout I began designing accessories. It makes me happy and proud that they adore the pieces we sell! :) thank you girls for dropping by and for shopping our stuff! :)

Meet the mom and daughter duo, who are both my loyal clients, and whenever they see my booth, they never fail to get a piece or two! :) Thank you so much and I can't wait to see both again! :)

Kahit na busy kame, finally we were able to snap a picture with my boothmate/blogger friend, Julie of PINK FASHION SHOP . It's our first to share a booth, and I really enjoyed 2 days with her! :) 

With Julie's daughter, and cousin, parehong beauties!!!:)

Bazaar For All Season SUMMER EDITION Part 1

Yey! Another photo diary! See I am making up to the days I was gone because of my bazaars hehe! The photos above are just the first part of my BAZAAR FOR ALL SEASON SUMMER EDITION experience! I have more photos coming so I decided to cut them to two parts. 

Moving on, I was there with my co-bloggers ( Bella, Kat, Rhea, Raiza, Christine, Cristina, Bestie, Laureen, and Arnie) for 2 days last April 6-7. I was invited there too last November and never the experience is always worth it and super fun! What else can you ask for when you can get to sell, shop, dine, chat, take pictures with your blogger friends and blog readers, right?! Bongga talaga! Okay I was there as a blogger but since I have no personal items to sell, I brought with me my handmade accessories from Simone's Closet! I brought a plentiful of stuffs as in haha! Thank God that the crowd really appreciated my stuffs that my stocks gone almost empty! Well I have 5 cobwebs left that day and was reserved right away before I went home! yay! Super happy! Well aside from the benta, I was super grateful with the turn-out of the event. Bihira lang ako makakita ng bazaar na ganon kapositive ang vibes. I've been a bazaarista for 2 years and so far, Jewels and the whole BFAS team is the best among all! They're the warmest, kindest, and very professional organizers I have ever met. No bias or joking here. As in! They know how to treat well their concessionaires, they are very much organized, and they really go booth by booth while the bazaar is on-going just to check if you're okay or if you need anything else. Plus, the foot traffic is SUPER TWO THUMBS UP!!! Daming tao! :) What I admire most is despite of them being tired, they did not forget to thank their concessionaires and give them their warmest smiles before leaving! SUPER ENJOY TO THE MAX! There may be slight flaws (which I think really happens) but they handled the situations very well! 

I am sure to support them on their next leg!!! :) I heard they're doing the next BFAS on August 31- September 1! :) Yay! Can't wait!

Short Story Of My Busy Weekend

Hello! Hello guys! I am back from my weekend hiatus! Please bear with me since this will be happening again on the following weekends until May. Simone's Closet is still half-way through its bazaar adventure, but I do hope you'll just stick with me alright? :) 

Anyways, before I move on with my regular posts (outfit shots, random thoughts, photo diaries etc. ) let me tell you a short story of how my life was this weekend. Thank God for instagram and my ipad, it's easier to snap photos of my thingies hehe, so here you go...

this was the outfit (half outfit) I wore on the 2nd day of BAZAAR FOR ALL SEASON

Knowing that I am a mom, a writer, a blogger, a crafter, a bazaarista all rolled into one, my life is pretty a whirlwind already. Add to that, that I also join bazaars too on the side mas naging whirlwind haha! Whenever I join one, the weeks before it is sure to be a one hell  of a roller coaster ride!!! sleepless nights, meeting with suppliers here and there, crafting sessions til 3am, conceptualizing and crafting even if you're off to doing something (riding a cab, or while taking a coffee break). In short, walang pahinga!

My idea of rest, is me joining bazaars. I get to sit down and observe my co-bazaaristas, analyzing important things which could be a great help for my business, I can do my design sketches, craft while selling, interact with my customers, and most of all, set-up and display my works. I love it whenever I see my handmade masterpieces on such a beautiful set-up!

my neon and silver glittery sandals. Kept me comfy the whole 2nd day of Bazaar For All Season

Yun  lang, I always don't have the chance to take my outfit photos whenever I join bazaars. That no matter how I like the outfit I am wearing, still I always end up, getting none. huhu!!! Why? I just can't leave my booth. Clients come whenever I plan to leave, so I would rather stay instead. BUT don't get me wrong, I love entertaining my clients more than anything else! :)

assisting one of my loyal clients, Karen

Last Sunday, (2nd day of BFAS) I was alone manning my booth, well hubby is busy with his own business, my mom and dad taking care of Marise, and my brother is busy with his work, hence, I took the challenge to be all by myself haha!!! DInumog ako ng tao and shoppers, that even I was so tired and dizzy keri lang magbenta haha! 

Simone's Closet goes to United Kingdom

And so while I was on the bazaar selling, saw this photo on facebook!!! Simone's Closet is finally going to UK!!! For real na talaga!!! I never did imagine I will be getting international clients too! I supply overseas na rin woohoo!!!:) Such a reliever kahit pagod ako. :)THANK GOD FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS!!! 

feel good music is my weakness

And ya wanna know the secret of mine whenever I am swamped with work, no sleep, and stressed with all the bulk orders, online orders, crafting, meetings, and all business and work related stuffs? and still managed to be on poise and in positive vibes always? Well,  I always make sure to be recharged with feel good music! One of which I love listening to is THE WAY YOU MAKE MY FEEL by Michael Jackson. Try it too!!! Make sure to go watch also the video of MJ's live rehearsal. Super galing!!!:) 

vain me while waiting for customers

Of course, dahil mag-isa ako sa booth nung day 2, I had the chance to be vain haha! I was trying to be discreet hence that angle haha!

first day display

entertaining blog readers and shoppers at one time 

On the second day of BFAS, I was surprised to know that my cobwebs were sold-out!!! yay to that! even those stocks I brought ubos din! THANK YOU LORD!!! This may mean another week of crafting, pero keri lang!!! Happy naman ako eh :) 

I am still organizing my sched, my bazaar photos, and outfit photos, and other things, then for sure I will be ready to share a photo diary of the BAZAAR FOR ALL SEASON here! :) Watch-out for that mkay? :)
