Message of the week Always Expect the Unexpected What happens this week with the Purge? I sold a lip butter set, a suit and a skirt. I received a bid on a T-shirt, a trouser and a dress. I received a warm message from Jill, owner of MeganMakesGood about the shop. She found my blog through my FB. It warmed my heart. First, because it is nice to receive some feedback from you do, Two, I did not know anyone would read about what I do on FB. I packed my good and made on more cyclop card for it and went to the shop. I spoke with my friend designer Zosia about developing the visual design of the shop I received a message about purchasing one of my dress and send it to Mauritius - Oulala I smiled, can you imagine me selling a £1 dress and send it to Mauritius...

Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler Little by Little, the bird learn to fly What went well this week? I sold 9 items. I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab. I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month. I tried to put a card in all my parcels. What are you thinking to improve? I am thinking to improve the message on the card At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated''  Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.'' For the drawing, I make little 

The Purge Continue - From Mariella Burani to Peep Eyewear

The first phase of Bazar Heureux is on the way.  It is the PURGE where I let go of things so I can give place to something NEW and this new thing is YOU. For this first week, one item got sold on my eBay shop. It was an unexpected item. My Mother in  Law used Mariella Burani Sunglasses Case.  The Mariella Burani brand does not exist anymore, so I figure that the buyer may be upcycling this item into something new or it may have value in some market I do not know exist. I am kind of looking forward to  see  what they may come up with. I put a note in the package letting them know that if they transform the item, I want to see what they come up with. I have seen different ideas on Pinterest for upcycling items - Thebuyer may be inspired by some of those ideas. I know that I personally am. hehe Click on the image for more info I do not have any sunglasses to put in this box, so I thought best to give it to someone else. In the future, I want some Peep ey

There is a wild bunny in each one of us - Shoes Tattoo with WildBunny Arts

Time to waking it up by getting our feet to fly! I have those adidas trainers on sale on my ebay shop. They need some love. I have been thinking if I do not manage to sell them to someone who needs them straight up! I will ask Wild Bunny Arts to give them a new look and offer them to someone I know who is a size 8 hehe. Have you came  across Wild Bunny Arts before? It is a British  a one-stop shop for personalised shoes and apparel managed by Rei since 2015.  She noticed that while it was possible to buy colour custom Converse and Vans, it was not possible to buy shoes, jackets and snap-backs with truly unique patterns and artwork on them. This is where she steps in. Her work is absolutely FABoLous. Worth having a look

Who would I like to encounter through my ebay selling experience?

I have to trust in God that anything is pushing me to do right now is the right pathway for me. In January, I started to sell more seriously on eBay I enjoy posting items on eBay.  I have approximately 147 items currently listed. I sold 27 items in total I feel particularly good when knowing that someone is going to make use of the items I do not need.  I enjoy making my packets, going to the post office and knowing that it is gone in the universe. The person on the other side will open the parcel and a new story will begin for the item. I could easily flog all the items at a charity shop. Yet I feel it is so impersonal. I came to learn that a large proportion of the sale of items in charity shops tend to help with the running of the shop itself as opposed to the people. I am not really sure where all this is going to lead me to. Like my friend says to me, it is not about where you end up, it is about the people you encounter along the way. Who would I li

The Bata Shoes, Comfortable Interview Partner, ready to be worn or upcycled, your inspiration

I cannot remember when I purchase those pumps. I remember to have worn them for job interviews They are associated with feelings of awkwardness and being tight in a suit. Once their deed was done, they were back into the cupboard. I must say they are terribly comfortable. I could keep them for the comfort. The knowing that I have some shoes for my next interview. Shall  I keep them for comfort? Shall I keep them for the next awkward interview in a suit? I have great comfort with the shoes I currently wear every single day. I am planning to have job interviews wearing comfortable clothes and no heels. A decision has been made. I have been thinking to maybe transformed them so I could keep them for longer. There are so many ways to embellish a pair of shoes Yet, I thought, I have already working on one art practice at the moment So here it is, in the spirit of transformation - some pair of shoes for you
