Hi Wagashilovers!
Hope you are all keeping warm and toasty as we move deep into Winter! We're moving to a bi-monthly newsletter so we have a lot to share since May!
We had an amazing day at the Heide Makers Market in Bulleen, a market that we've been very eager to attend for a long time! It was so great to see customers from the region, along with some wonderful familiar faces including our good friend Dianne of Dianne Collins Ceramics. And we don't think there could be a better location for a market - the incredible Heide Museum is a wonderful backdrop for the talented artisans showcasing their wares. We will be back there again in October!
The Box Hill Japan Festival 2019 has been our biggest event of the year so far, massive thank you to the organisers and volunteers for putting on this fantastic cultural experience! We are so grateful to everyone who attended, and we love that more and more people want to experience the joys of wagashi. It was also great to see all the wonderful stallholders including Mountain Yuzu, Cha Haus, and Baker Bears. Special thank you to Hinako-chan who helped us out on the day.
We had the opportunity to cater to the Chado Urasenke Annual Tea Gathering, which was an incredibly special learning experience! We also so proud to have supported Huntingdale Primary School, a bilingual Japanese and English school, for their fundraising Family Fun Day. Read on for more info!
As always, please don't hesitate to drop us an email or DM on FB or Insta, about things you would like to see more of and we will try to include them in our updates. We love hearing from you!
Yours, Minnie
