Wow! What a weekend! 💕
(A slightly longer post today, so thank you for reading!)
Unfortunately, I had to cancel Saturday’s market due to the awful weather. As a paper goods seller, I simply couldn’t risk my products being damaged. It was a difficult decision, especially after hearing from so many lovely repeat customers who were planning to come and visit me. Your support means so much. ❤️
Thankfully, Sunday brought much better weather! It was still quite windy (I think a few stickers may have flown away! 😆), but it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones too.
Mirage (@kiteVisionary) made sure I didn’t go hungry, as usual, and it was lovely catching up after his recent adventures.
Mel (@Jjilpapercrafts) brought along some craft papers I’d been curious about, which have already inspired ideas for future products. Thank you for being so thoughtful!
Karen (@Khollandster) and her daughter stopped by, and it’s always such a joy to see them. We first met at Hyper Japan two years ago and have kept crossing paths at events ever since.
Pree and Tanu (@pretaeats) were another wonderful surprise! We first met at the Illustrators’ Fair two years ago, and I was so happy they found me at the market again yesterday. Time really does fly!
A publisher once asked me:
“What’s it like trading at markets?”
Honestly, it’s this.
The conversations, the familiar faces, and the friendships that grow over the years. My customers make me feel seen, appreciated, and supported, and I love watching their own journeys unfold too.
This is why I keep coming back to markets and events. They’re where I find my people—the people who cheer me on, support my little business, and make this creative journey so special.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of it. ❤️

I had an incredible time trading with Open Art Market in Soho last Saturday! I met so many lovely new customers, as well as some familiar faces from MCM Comic Con. 😄
It was such a pleasure chatting with all of you, and I hope our paths cross again soon.
The local shop owners and fellow vendors were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They truly made me feel like part of the community.
The Deputy Mayor was lovely as well! She bought a few postcards from me, and I absolutely loved her style. Her hair clips were so cute 🥺✨
I had a wonderful day and would love to come back again in the future!
Sorry I didn’t take many photos — I was too busy serving customers! 😆

Wow, I just completed my first MCM Comic Con London! It was such an amazing experience. ✨
I absolutely loved the vibes and all the people I met there. It was so lovely seeing both new faces and familiar faces again. :D
Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by and supported our little business — it truly means a lot to us. 💖
Also sorry for posting this so late! After 3 days of trading, I was completely exhausted and honestly couldn’t even talk or eat properly yesterday 😭 I finally have enough energy today to do things again.😄
I promise I’ll start fitness training before the next MCM in October so hopefully I’ll feel a little less broken next time hahaha.
I also secretly wish there was a wheelchair service at the Excel Centre so one of the lovely security guards could wheel me to the entrance every morning . 😆

Tomorrow is MCM Comic Con London! ✨
We feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have the opportunity to trade at such an amazing event. Because of that, I thought this would be the perfect time to finally show you one of my own comic book pages — which I’ve turned into a cute little postcard for the convention! 💛
And there’s also another big piece of news for those of you who have been following my creative journey for a long time…
I’m officially adding another job title to my career:
✨ Comic Book Artist ✨
Yes, you read that right!
Around the end of 2025, I signed a publishing deal for a super cute comic book series. Originally, it was planned to be just two books, but after I completed the first book, the publisher loved it so much that the series expanded to FOUR books! 🥹
Of course, I secretly hope there will be even more books in the future.
Sadly, I can’t share too much yet because everything still needs to stay wrapped up until publication day… but I promise I’ll share more when the timing is right!
Honestly, I really hope this publishing deal — and these books — will open more doors for me and help me get selected for even more comic conventions in the future. Creating stories and sharing them with people in person is something that truly means a lot to me.
Even though I can’t show you the official series yet, I can still share my own little comic stories from Moggy Mansions and Moggy Town! ✨
This postcard features a small rainy day story from Whiskers & Crumbs starring Sugar and Crumpet. I hope it makes you smile!
(And Crumpet would like me to clarify that he is NOT a bear… he is simply a slightly over-nourished and extremely fluffy cat 😂)
We’ll be bringing these super cute comic postcards to MCM Comic Con London tomorrow, and we can’t wait to meet you all and share more stories from the world of Moggy Mansions! 💕
Meet Sugar — the sassiest little barista in Moggy Town ☕🐱✨
She’s the owner of Whiskers & Crumbs, the cosiest cat café in town, and she serves the BEST capurrcinos, buttery toast, hot chocolate, and sweet treats around. 💛
Sugar may be a tiny bit bossy and sassy, but she’s also funny, caring, and gives off the ultimate “big sister” energy. She loves chatting with her customers while making everyone feel warm and welcome in her café. ☕🥐
This adorable kawaii postcard is part of the new Moggy Town: Whiskers & Crumbs stationery collection — perfect for cosy mail, journaling, pin boards, or as a cute little treat for yourself. ✨
We’ll be bringing the collection to MCM Comic Con London this weekend! Please stop by the Moggy Mansions booth to say hello to Sugar… and maybe me and Chris too. 😆💕
Which drink would you order from Whiskers & Crumbs? ☕
One of the reasons I wanted to rebrand my product business was because I’ve always dreamed of creating my own little universe. ✨
So Chris (my husband!) came up with the name “Moggy Mansions,” and from there, the world of “Moggy Town” was born. 🐾
Moggy Town is a cozy little town filled with yummy food, kawaii shops, warm cafés, and gentle everyday moments — all lovingly run by tiny cats.
The very first shop I’d love to introduce to you is Whiskers & Crumbs ☕🍞
The owner is Sugar — slightly bossy, a little dramatic, endlessly funny, but with a caring big sister energy. She’s known for being the best barista in Moggy Town, serving the yummiest sandwiches, the most buttery toast, and of course, fresh brews every morning at Whiskers & Crumbs.
We’ll be launching the first Whiskers & Crumbs collection at MCM Comic Con London this weekend, and we’re so excited to finally share it with you all!
Hope to see you there 🐱✨
(And don’t forget to BYOT — Bring Your Own Tea 😂 Sadly, we’re not allowed to serve tea & biscuits at the booth!)
