This morning we sought out a cafe/gallery we'd been reading about in local publications called +wondermilk. It was in a part of town a 10 minute taxi ride away called Damansara Utuma. Oh boy, did we feel right at home!! +wondermilk is a lovely little cafe and gallery space showing art and accessories by local artists. They also produce a hugely popular range of cupcakes (called cuppacakes). While we were there we spied a camera crew and as we were finishing up our coffee (and a 'lovely lychee' cupcake) they asked us if we'd like to be in the film they were making about wondermilk. They were film students doing their degree through Curtain Uni. Fancy that! So, they asked us what we thought of +wondermilk and the cup cakes, etc. We felt a bit special being interviewed by local film students at such a funky little place! We had a chat and it was awfully lovely to talk to some artists again. Apparently +wondermilk is the only cafe of it's sort in KL, so I think we'll be making it a regular destination.
Photo looking in the front window. You can see the art and accessories for sale on the wall.

It's a long weekend here in KL, Monday being a public holiday. Tonight we're taking the night train out of Malaysia down to Singapore, hanging out in the city for several hours then returning to KL Sunday afternoon. Whew, should be exciting! We don't know what to expect from Singapore (we don't even have a map of the country) except that it's very clean and it's illegal to chew gum there. I wonder if mints are OK?
In other news I got hold of a 'real' camera (i.e not my phone camera) and shall be posting some images of new brooches next week. I've been thinking about that old friend art also, so am hoping to ACTUALLY MAKE SOME real soon. xx maude

On TV, now in the paper, pretty soon you'll have your own paparazzi entourage! Would wondermilk stock your stuff? Did you get a free plug for Maude in your interview? Great news all round and I hope you weren't arrested for being yourself in Singapore.
Yay for Maude, AprilMay and Betty Jo!We sound like three crafty Nanas. I am happy to send you a clipping if you want.xx Liz aka Betty Jo
