The Return to Markets and Burgerlab~!

Almost like we were attempting a sequel or a remake, this Saturday was spent almost exactly like our last Markets-and-myBurgerLab-later outing~ :)

Not that that's a bad idea -- nothing like a day of productive shopping, topped off with an extremely satisfying dinner. I finally got to taste myBurgerLab's Kajuu burger, after months of craving it! And I got some pretty decent loot at the Markets@JayaOne, too~

~Arts for Grabs March 2013~ "Do You Hear The People Sing?"

A bit of background for those who have just tuned in: Arts for Grabs is an independently-organized arts market, where budding local artists can showcase their arts, do a bit of networking, and maybe even make a buck or two over the weekend.

I've been to Arts for Grabs before, and while my previous experience with the event was like a charming weekend stroll through crafts markets like Convent Garden or St Kilda Esplanade ... last weekend, for some reason, felt like a post-French Revolutionary Bohemian meet, with politically-charged passions running high, and the stark, smoky smell of art-in-progress in the air. O__O <-- as you can see, I've been very strongly influenced by the art-vibe. Just being there felt like I was being part of some underground anti-government movement -- maybe it's because elections are so near?

~Bijou Bazaar, August 4, 2012~

Heard from Alyaa earlier in the week that there was going to be a day-long flea-market/craft bazaar thing at Publika over the weekend, so being the hijabster, bargain-hunting, clothes-and-shoes junkies that we are, we decided to check it out. :D
