Weekly Word Picks

These are a few of my favorite things fine art print - FreyaArt

Weekly Word Picks is an Etsy curation series where a random word - any word at all, could be an adjective or a noun, be suggested by someone else aside from me, and I will compose a comprehensive treasury by searching for that word on Etsy. This is a self challenging series as sometimes I am given a difficult words to work with, as well as to train my treasury curation skills AND feature amazing sellers on Etsy.

Ramadan Food

It is the month of Ramadan, where muslims fast from dawn to dusk. But to celebrate the breaking of fast in the dusk, muslims usually have a feast! :D And it is only in this month you can find delicious food at Ramadan food bazaars selling all sorts of yummy food.

My first visit to the Ramadan bazaar at the Shah Alam stadium, which has roughly about 300 stalls. (crazy!) You can find all sorts of food from the usual nasi briyani, roti daging, cendol, satay to other weirder varieties like halal chow kuey teow, chinese style paus and even dim sum!! Needless to say, I feasted on these delicious food. My personal favorite are the colorful cendol! (those in the jugs)

Around the World - Germany, Stadtkind Potsdam

Once upon a time, I was obsessed with hoodies. Although I am no longer as obsessed, but I do still like a good hoodie or two when they present themselves. I love the clothes and especially the hoodies from Stadtkind Potsdam. Her design accentuates the hoodies, instead of having it just an accessory to the clothing. Which I find very unique.

New Earrings

From the Flowers of the World series. Decided to restock, take new photos and add new addition to the series. Seen here, the new ones are Angel's Trumpet (pink) and Hyacinth. (light blue) Going to list them into the shop gradually. Limited availability!

Around the World - Germany, Detail Loving

So I decided to change the posting format for the Around the World series too, and will highlight one Etsy shop at a time instead of one whole bunch in a post. There will be two posts a week, and two weeks for one country/state, so 4 artists in total. :)

To start it off, here is Sofie's beautiful photography from Detail Loving Photography.

So beautifully ethereal, with a little hint of morbidity and playful darkness in some. It is just so... 'her'! Check out more of her gorgeous photographs over at her Etsy shop!

Return from Americaland

Sorry for the abrupt absence from the blog, was just totally swept away by last minute preparations for my US trip. The blog and even my Etsy shop to a certain extent, went into a semi-hiatus mode from mid June onwards. I had to put my Etsy shop on vacation earlier than expected because of the preparations too.

But now that I am back, I will be trying my best to fight my jet lag and get my blog and Etsy shop moving again, yay! To start things off, here are some photos of flora that I shot during my trip in US. I do like to take photos of flowers and plants. :)

More to come!
