Polkaros Pop Up + Drom Class

I know I know there was no post for a while. I was telling to myself perhaps no one was reading so how about a stop. I usually don't get excited over many things but this time just looking from Polkaros's blog is making me excited and looking forward to Polkaros Pop Up in Singapore.

Earlier on I was telling (or more like nagging) my friend Rehana that she must visit Polkaros Summer Pop Up at Sugar Town (Japan) and I must go if I am in Tokyo. Eventually Rehana didn't make it there but she sent me a postcard that make me even regretted not able to make it. Thanks to The Little Drom Store being one of my favourites, Ros came to Singapore !

Ps: Sorry for the weird size of the photos as all are taken by my iphone 6

Polkaros Pop Up


Polkaros hand crafted pots, clay brooches, tenugui, bags, and zines together with the adorable pompoms are so hard to give it a miss. I can still remember I have a copy of her zine with the tote bag not used on my shelve. This time I am not prepare to give the pot a miss this time even though my favourite was taken and most of them in store already have an owner :D

Drom class started in the cozy little treehouse of The Little Drom Store. What could be more therapeutical to sit down and paint on a raining night. With my best creativity I sketch a Teru teru bozu (てるてる坊主), Kokeshi, Bikini girl and lastly one that i could only sketch some parts here and there but not the facial expression.

All my classmate did very well with many good ideas and their pots are all so amazingly cute. Thank you Ros and Antoinette for giving me lots of idea and I guess I must be the worst in class. I painted without any sketches and at the end of the class, my piece turned out to be "Mr. Postman" or actually I wanted it to be a mailbox.

Given the fact that I have not much talent in drawing and painting, I eventually graduated from the class. I have much fun during the 2 hours Drom Class :)

The classes have ended but the pop up will still be on till 30 November so do drop by if you keen on getting some cute stuffs as Christmas gifts.

Do you still remember my earlier blog post about Not A Retail Shop // NÓNG ? Transitional___ by Shophouse & Co is a traveling creative platform that brings life to various spaces around the city and this time being part of the new initiative, online store Naiise set up its pop-up retail at 115A King George Avenue added more fun to the hardware stores in the Lavender area.

Besides able to browse through the assortment of lifestyle goods, there are also food tasting session by the various artisanal food makers such as the jam I have recently bought from GSH Conserves. There are also workshops conducted by Tyrwhitt General Company and pop-up coffee bar by Bettr Barista Coffee Academy .

I visited them on a weekday afternoon so that are not too much activities going on, however the weekend activities sounds too good to miss, still not too late to head down with one more weekend before they are close on 22nd June.

Colors Monday【MT Expo Singapore】

I know I took too long to post but better than none. The MT Expo held in July last year was the first time in Singapore and everything was about MT Tapes there. I went twice since it was so fun with workshops and hands on DIY with free usage of MT Tapes. A total of 5 Singapore limited edition tapes made debut at this rare event and of course they were off the shelves very soon. I am always happy to see new products from MT and love the Scandinavia series collaborated with Olle Eksell, Bengt & Lotta and Lisa Larson. How I wish there would be more collaboration!

Since many limited edition mt tapes that were not for sale and only available for exchange when you play with the gachapon coin machine so it was super addictive. Even though the event have ended here but there are always some MT event somewhere, so in case you are MT fans and planning for a holiday, do check out their website if there are any up coming event.

Labour Unto Rest

Earlier in May I visited The Letter J Supply x Gracesmiths space in Shaw Tower where they celebrate REST. The 4 day shop they have put together was a reminder for them to work from a place of rest. From Gracesmiths you can find a variety of handcrafted goods from cushions to stationery. I find it so hard to leave without buying the beautiful selection of handwritten type from The Letter J Supply.

The event have ended and in any case you would like to purchase something or order any customization, do check out their online shop or you can visit The Letter J Supply shop (do check for its opening hours).
