A Special Beginning: Our First Christmas Market Appearance

The set up for our first appearance in a Christmas Market.

A Proud Milestone for Our Team

As the CEO and Founder, I am incredibly proud to share that this weekend marked our very first appearance at the Christmas Market. This was a major milestone for our small but passionate company. We had the privilege of showcasing our handmade creations at CCM Vancouver Center, Crystal Mall (Burnaby), 2/F, on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.—a truly memorable moment in our journey.

A Market with a Purpose

This event was especially meaningful to us because it was dedicated to supporting and raising awareness for small businesses created by special-needs youth. As someone who is also a special-needs individual, this mission is deeply personal to me. It is an honour to lead a company that champions inclusion, creativity, and empowerment, and to stand alongside other young creators who share the same spirit of resilience and passion.

Connecting with Supporters and Families

Throughout the day, I had the pleasure of meeting many supporters, families, and community members who took the time to learn about our work. Their encouragement reaffirmed why we do what we do. I am also pleased to share that we sold 3 mini tote bags, 2 grey Zentangle-design hats, 1 black Zentangle hat, and 4 notebooks. Every sale is more than a purchase—it is a meaningful gesture of belief in our purpose and in our young artists.

My Gratitude as CEO

I want to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who visited our booth, shared kind words, or supported us in any way. As the CEO, moments like these remind me how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and supportive community. Your encouragement inspires us to continue creating meaningful handcrafted items with passion and dedication.

Looking Ahead to Our Next Event

Our journey is just beginning. I am excited to announce that our next appearance will be at the 2025 Asian Christmas Market on Friday, December 19th, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Vancouver Heritage Hall, 3102 Main Street #204, Vancouver, BC. I look forward to meeting even more supporters and sharing our creations with a wider audience. I hope to see you there!

Warm regards,

Wallace Cheung
