The 9th Market, Jaya One ( My First Bazaar! )

It is almost 9 p.m. here in Kuala Lumpur and I am still at my work desk. I have a mixture of feelings of how I actually should be feeling. My first flea market stint went quite alright I manage to cover half the rental of the booth.

I think the whole idea of having your stuff being appreciated and bought by people is really a fantastic feeling. It is like ' wow! ', if you get what I mean. The amount of experience I gained for my very first bazaar is really the most helpful thing for me. I should be able to execute my future bazaars well.

Apart from that, I learned to interact with customers and the best thing of all is that, I know what the 'in' trend among customers.

How I wish I have more time to whack out more cool stuffs! Time management is everything here and yes, I received feedbacks from my friends that I should be doing quilts apart from jewelries. Seriously, I am considering about it and likely to be doing it too.

So, anyone can buy me a sewing machine as my birthday gift? It is drawing near :P

My really humble display of products


 This one of the peak moment of our little stall


One of the stalls which took part in this 9th Market 


The never-ending long line of people lining up to get their burger at My Burger Lab. I have never heard of it until that day itself!


 The corner lot that we got is really giving us an advantage of capturing the customers' attention before they make one big round of hunting of goods.


The satisfaction I had with a grande size of green tea frappucino from Starbucks which I purchase at it's branch at Jaya One itself. Best part of all is it is free because I had yet to redeem my free cuppa the last round :)

About Me

Hi! My name is Roslyn Nelson and I am a crafter and I love admiring beautiful wearable art pieces. I am also into digital photography.

Seriously speaking, discovering myself as a crafter is the last thing that came into my mind. All started when I was in depressed with the news I received from my orthopedic doctor of the condition of my osteoarthritis on both of my knees.

With the hardcore movement and also energy required in catching the best possible photographs for my clients ( I was once a freelance wedding & event photographer ), I would make a visit to the orthopedic specialist. It came to the point where my orthopedic specialist telling me to make a choice to my knees.

With a heavy heart, I make the decision to stop taking up challenging assignments. With God's grace and mercy upon me, I was 're-introduced' to the beautiful world of art and craft. Art has always been something that I am passionate about as a small child. My late mother used to buy me those beautiful colouring books for me to colour.

Crafts, on the other hand is something I know I am able to do. But, it hardly came to me to move further. However, crafting does ease the broken heart of mine ( photography ).

While helping out my beloved friend, Hazel to source for exotic beads and findings, I ended up buying  beading kit for myself. And the rest as they say is history. That was nearly a year ago.

With the great amount of encouragement and also advice ( not to mention the amount of time and yes, lots of LOVE  ) which my dear friend, Hazel has given me, I work on perfecting my skills. Both of us work along side by side and we came up with a little blog store to sell our little crafts. You can view all our stuffs here at My B&C Closet.

I am still learning and I believe I will have more to learn and will never ever stop learning! And the thoughts of creating beautiful and wearable accessories does make my life more beautiful than ever!

I still snapping my camera away at times as a hobby. And my beloved cameras are still in good use for all the photos I took for all my creations. YAY!

Lastly, keep on creating!
