Christmas shopping

Monday blog post #3

This week was so busy.

On Sunday there was an official opening of Croatian embassy here in Doha and all Croatians were invited to come and celebrate it. Our president Ivo Josipovic was there along with over 40 politicians and businessmen. It's a big thing for us who live here and for Croatian economy hopefully :)

The rest of the week went really quickly, busy with making new stuff for Common Thread POP UP SHOP and for the International Holiday Bazaar.

Common Thread POP UP Shop in Katara Art Center, Doha

International Holiday Bazaar in Grand Hyatt Hotel, Doha

Common Thread POP UP Shop is this time located in Katara Art Center (for the second time) and it looks really pretty with different products from over 15 designers. It is open until 24th November so if you haven't been there it's worth to visit! KAC is in the building 5, open for business from 10am-10pm except on Friday from 2-10pm.

International Holiday Bazaar organized by American Women Association here in Qatar was a huge event with over 300 vendors with products from all over the world. For me it was really successful and I was even offered to feature me in one of the local magazine and also collaborative work with two amazing girls from Dubai, lots of people asked when am I going to start with painting workshops...
It was long but great day!!!

Museum of Islamic Art Park Bazaar in April

Hi all!!!
It was really nice this time at a MIA Park Bazaar, the weather was much better than the last two times.
It was hot in the beginning but thanks to my friends Kristy and Sarah I had an umbrella. After 3 o'clock it was even better temperature went down and shade started coming. There were lots of people having fun and enjoying looking and buying stuff from around 100 vendors.

For this Bazaar I had prepared few of my paintings, art prints, art bookmarks, handcrafted cards and handmade brooches along with my younger sister's jewelry.

Here are few photos
( I still don't have my camera :( so some of them my friend took and this one is from Museum of Islamic Art facebook page)

2012 Friendship Festival at the American School of Doha

Islamic Art Park Bazaar

This month I decided to participate at two fairs, 2012 Friendship Festival at the American School of Doha on 2 March and Museum of Islamic Art Park Bazaar on 3 March. After that I have to focus on my group exhibition with International Artists Doha on 22 to 25 March at AaQool Atrium, Qatar Foundation Recreation Center, Education City.

At today's fair I met lots of interesting and nice people, had fun with my husband and friends and do a little sale to cover the expenses I paid for the table.

You can see photos of both fairs on my  Facebook fan page.

Bazaar at Museum of Islamic Art Park, Doha, Qatar

First Bazaar ever organized by Museum of Islamic Art at the Park of Museum was launched yesterday, on Saturday February 4. The idea is to hold this Bazaar on the first Saturday of every month. So next one will be on March 3.
It is open air market, showcases an eclectic mix of food, jewelry, arts, crafts, clothing, books, souvenirs, perfumes and more. With over 100 street vendors and spectacular harbor views, the MIA Park Bazaar is a modern take on Qatar’s souq tradition.

Here you can see photos of my table.
