A Treasure Trove at 10A Alabama

04.17.2013 by Leah // 8 Comments

Last Sunday, AJ and I braved the summer heat to check out the Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair at 10A Alabama Street.  I’ve read countless blog posts about this fair which is like a treasure trove of handmade and DIY products by creative and resourceful artists.  Here you will find lots of paper craft, handmade jewelry, craft materials, handmade dolls, etc.   You will also find vintage furniture, frames and even chinaware.  If you love interesting things then this is a must-see place for you.  And if you love paper craft then beware – you will definitely not go home empty handed!

You will not miss the address – 10A Alabama Street – because of its gate which is very striking and is an artwork in itself:

P1080699b

Even the cemented front yard  sidewalk was turned into a whimsical art work.  it’s a tea party!  I love it!

P1080698b

10A Alabama is actually a home that was converted into a gallery/shop for vintage furniture and other home knick knacks.  So it is essentially the Resurrection Furniture and Found Objects Gallery.   And now the home too of handmade artists who participates in the Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair.

Below are just “some” of the lovely, Etsy-like items I found inside this wonderful house (this is gonna be picture heavy  so the web page might take a while to load).

From Pop.Junk.Love:  handmade stuff toys, plushies and even fashion earrings.

From Rubber Ducky Stamp Co.: hand-carved rubber stamps mounted on handles of tanguile wood.

P1080707b

P1080708b

From Sitting Pretty Crafts Studio:   Arts and craft materials at very friendly prices.

P1080705b

P1080706b

From Hey Kessy:  washi tapes and more washi tapes!

P1080709b

From Asa Montenejo:  artful stationery in very luxurious paper.

P1080716b

P1080719b

P1080721b

From Thingamabobs:  Whimsical and colorful jewelry trinkets, wallets and home decors.

P1080711b

P1080712b

P1080715b

From Dolldalita – hand-made dolls!

P1080735b

I forgot the name of the shop selling these super cute felt-cloth pendant jewelry and they also have a felt-cloth version of the iPad and Canon camera too!  I love the Totoro pendant!

P1080723b

P1080724b

Can’t get enough of this cuteness overload?  There’s still a lot to discover at 10A Alabama and the pictures above are just a fraction of the products you will find there.

I bought only a “few” items from the fair:  rubber stamps from Rubber Ducky Stamping Co. and Sitting Pretty Crafts Studio, note cards from Asa Montenejo and a Darth Vader plush keychain (not in picture) from Pop.Junk.Love.

P1080740b

Had I brought more money with me, I would have grabbed some of these vintage plates.  They sell at P200 a piece.  Do you find that expensive or just right?

P1080728b

I hope you all enjoyed this virtual tour of the Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair at 10A Alabama.  But still, nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing the actual stuff and bringing home some hehe.

Catch the next Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair at 10A Alabama.  Like their facebook page for the fair schedules and to check out the “resurrected” vintage furniture and home decors  on sale by the  Resurrection Furniture and Found Objects Gallery.

    Hope to go there on the next fair. I showed this to Max and as expected, she’s interested in all those stamps, papers, etc.

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
