Everytime I called up or walked into stores to see if they were interested in selling my products, I was often asked if I made the products.
And I always felt bit embarrassed to say no, it's not made by me.
But finally I realised I shouldn't feel that way.
I import my products from my town Kyoto in Japan and sell it hear. Most of them are handmade and some of them are machine made.
I wish I could make it but first of all, I'm not handy.
Secondly, my products are made by very skilled people in Kyoto so I won't be able to make it anyway unless I trained myself for over 10 years.
I should believe in what I sell and hopefully people will like it.
I have changed what I sell at Beehive gallery in Newtown and also at Sylvia Chan in Paddington. I'll be at the next Kirribilli market on the 11th of July.
