Sneak Preview

September 8, 2009

I’ve been planning to do this for a long time. I wanted to open an online shop to sell my hand made accesories. I’m still in the process of making stuff and taking pics/measurements, but as a reader of my blog, let me share a little peek on what I’ll sell soon:

 

 

This is just one of the several lockets I have for sale (I have yet to take pics of the other pieces). I’ll be selling this one for 200 pesos. According to my supplier, the locket is silver plated (I asked what the inside is made of but she couldn’t specify the metal used for this one). It comes with a 21 inch chain. You have the option to choose a between a thin chain (pics soon) and this medium sized chain. I’m wearing one right now (I’m using the thin chain).

Tips tips tips

Before anything else, I’d like to say thank you to those who read my blog and e-mail/comment/ask questions about my finds. I feel really happy (and flattered) whenever I find a comment update or an e-mail regarding ukay-ukay. Thank you guys!

Anyway, a reader named Pochi e-mailed me a few questions last Sunday about finding the right item in ukay shops and cosplay. Her e-mail is quite long, so I’ll just put up my answers here.

 

On ukay shops:

I don’t really choose the shops that I go to. I think I said that some time ago.  Back in college, I go to shops that are near my school. Right now, I go to Monumento or Cubao for ukay-ukay. The farthest ukay adventure I went  to was my Anonas trip. (What Baguio? I didn’t intend to go to Baguio to shop for ukay.)
