So happy weekend has come.
Things have been a bit hectic around SoCuteItHurts due to sewing and scheming for Pipit Market and i had this weird 72 hours sinus infection bug starting early this week on monday afternoon. It sucked but i'm just so glad and thankful that i'm my old self again ready to tackle all that needs to be done for Pipit productivity.
Back to work, but not without sharing one of my inspiration with you.
I have really enjoyed poking around the Pipit Zakka Store lately. They just launched their new art exhibition gallery. If you didn't know by now, this lovely cozy store always make my eyes glaze over. I was in for a treat when i visited their first exhibition : 28 days to my dearest illustrator.
A project by Pipit exhibiting the 'Marathon dairy' style postcards by 5 talented local artists. For the past 28 days of February, they have been sending out a postcard a day to illustrators all around the world.
The artists were even there to custom make a special postcard for each visitor. I am head over heels for the sweet creations by Yisin.
There is nothing about this exhibition that i do not find sweet, lovely, inspiring and charming. The primary focus is to promote and inspire creativity. It's ALL good.
Once again, have yourself a lovely weekend.
Love to you and yours.
Such a lovely shop! I love that they make a special postcard for guests. Wonderful photos! You have a fantastic weekend too! :)
