We thank all those we came down to support and we will strive to be better to serve you better always!

Enjoy the photos!

The night before the opening! Many hands make light work,a snapshot of everyone bustling in and out of the shop. That really helped to tie up the loose ends!

Tenants coming to arrange their items


Almost ready for the soft opening on the 6th!

The shop looking all ready for the soft opening on the 6th of August! A remarkable feat only achievable through everyone's hard work in getting everything done in record time!

Our Official opening on the 8th of August was graced by the Lion dance troupe to " bless " the shop and usher in prosperity and good luck for the business. Look at the amount of onlookers!

The action was brought into the shop as well!

Beautiful and heartwarming gifts by out tenants claimed the front spot in our central display! Aren't they beautiful? we also had our own Pebble Project!


Customers and friends alike are welcome to pick up a pebble from our counter and decorate it with anything they like. These pebbles will be permanently displayed in our shop as a lasting decoration, reminding everyone that Sunflower could not have made it thus far without everyone's support, as we gathered forward " pebble by pebble " to where we are now!

Check out the mindboggling variety of masterpieces in our shop TODAY!


Delighted children with their masterpieces!


With every $20 spent, customers were presented with a stalk of fresh sunflower, completely FOC to show our appreciation for the support over the last 10 months!

June Holiday Activities

June Holidays are here again! ( at least for some of us..)
Besides the compulsory therapy indulgence during the GSS, and the impulse resort stay overseas, June is a month where many will find that they have a little more free time on their hands.

First up, we Have watercolor painting classes by Annie Chong of AppleRain workshop!


Annie Chong is a local artist who is exceptionally talented in watercolor creations. She is commonly seen participating in MAAD bazaars and flea markets all over the nation. She is also the lovely contributor who created Sunflower's layout for one of our Media feature in CHIC magazine :

here's a few snapshot from her facebook of her products:

and one more ...


Beautiful ain't it ? You will also be learning the skills of watercolor painting so you can illustrate any thing that you desire.

Annie is a very friendly and sociable lady who is very down to earth despite being so talented! You will definitely find it difficult not to be influenced by her infectious and outward passion for art. Don't miss this chance! Anyone can draw! Best if you are able to attend with your little one, this creates a perfect chance to bond as well.
Sign up today!

---------------------------------------------------

Secondly, we have Handicraft lessons by Andy Lee of RoomOfcraftman!

Andy is a fatherly, easy-going middle aged man who has a knack of making beautiful and functional crafts such as gift boxes, photo frames and notebooks.

here are some snap shots on some of his past products: ( his note books and frames are also selling in Sunflower! )

Hangers...



and plaques..


he is also currently having a customization service in which he can make items to your specifications.
The best thing is, most of his supplies in the creation are bric-a-brac everyday items that you will have no problem getting at all.
All materials are provided in this workshop of course, but we bet that after the workshop, you won't be seeing your everyday " junk" in the same way anymore!

Recycle , Reduce, and Reuse!

Create masterpieces out of ordinary items, you'll be amazed yourself, talk about a paradigm shift!

Being green is easy after all!

Third up, but not the least,

we have Soap and lotion making workshop by HolyRose from Nature's Little Treasures!


HolyRose ( yes, that's her real name, printed on her ic, we checked :) ) seems to be a serious lady at first glance. Anyone would be struck by how much knowledge she has on soaps, perfumes and the ingredients needed and not forgetting , the process on making them.

Ask her anything and she will be able to rattle off the ingredient's names, the time needed to "cool" the soap, and so on..

Holy turns out to be a very jolly, enthusiastic and outgoing person, who is bursting to share her passion for her art of creating soaps and perfumes and the like.



With these rare skills, you will be able to blend your very own custom made soap,with a unique scent that is not found in the market. Subsequent lessons will touch on how to make your perfume( coolness plus!) and your own lip balms.

Holyrose's popular roll on perfume series! they are oil based thus able to last 5-6 hours at least! say good bye to those diluted concoctions that only last 2-3 hours at most!



Best of all, her soaps are made of natural ingredients, and thus safe for people with sensitive skin.


So if you have been interested in learning something out of the box, this might just be the thing for you!

or you could just hop down to Sunflower for more pre-made goodies! all shown pictures are ready for sale in Sunflower!
