Cocoa Chu Chu is having a craft fair in downtown Toronto!!!

When: Thursday, September 3rd

Time: 11 am - 3 pm

Where: Butterfield Park, OCAD

Address: 100 McCaul Street Toronto, ON M5T 1W1



I'm looking forward to my very first craft fair! It's gonna be fun. If you live near Toronto area, hope to see you there :)

Currently sold out & Craft fair

My two necklaces, Paris, je t'aime and Allons en France are currently sold out in my shop. I have already ordered some supplies and hopefully they will be in stock again sometimes next week. These two necklaces are the bestseller necklaces up to date. They even got featured on Etsy's front page. They make me proud. They are just like my babies :)

Just a quick note that I will be doing a very tiny craft fair on Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 at OCAD in downtown Toronto. It will be my first craft fair ever! I'm looking forward to it. I will post more information about the craft fair later this week in my blog. Please stay tuned :)

Finally there's some sunshine in Toronto. It's been raining cats and dogs for the past week. My puppy got scared when she heard thunder sounds. She would quickly come sit next to me. I found it very cute!!

I heart

(a) Sabon body scrub vanilla coconut.

(b) Tour de France necklace by Cocoa Chu Chu (my new creation).

(c) Marilyn hair accessory by which goose.

DIY cushion covers

My old cushion cover I bought from Ikea a few years ago was ready to go. The zipper was broken and it was beyond fixable since the cover itself was falling apart (my dog loves to tear it up).

I happened to find some lovely fabrics at Fabricland. I love bright colors as well as sweet pastels. I was so happy to find these 2 fabric patterns from Liz Claiborne and on SALE :)



It took me almost a week to finish sewing one cushion cover (by hand). I don't have a sewing machine, but would LOVE to have one in the future. Let's hope that my dog wouldn't start tearing this one up again.

500 Days Of Summer

I watched it!! I finally got to see 500 Days Of Summer and I'm a big fan now. I just love the whole thing. There's no better cast than Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel!! The song, Here comes your man by The Pixies, is now officially my new favorite song :) I kept smiling during the whole film :D

Well, I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it. Let's say that I'm a big big fan. By the way, my man is away for the whole week (work related). I miss him already!

Some of my favorite scenes from the movie:

If you like this movie like I do, please check out this website. It has a bunch of info on the movie :)

Green tea ice-cream

I got this green tea ice-cream at a local Korean grocery store the other day. Whenever I find green tea flavored snacks, ice-creams or any products, I just have to give it a try :D

This green tea ice-cream is quite bitter. It has this bitter feeling at the tip of the tongue. I personally prefer it sweeter. I love green tea ice-cream from Baskin Robbins as well. I heard somewhere before that girls should eat sweets once a day to maintain happiness. Wonder if it's true, but it sure works for me.....haha

I'm LOOKING forward to Taste of the Danforth this coming weekend!! I can't believe I've never been there before. I've heard that the Calamari is really good. I can't wait to give it a try. If you have any recommendations, please share it with me :)
