On Saturday, 11 am to 9 pm

Call 26424125



There are few things we love as much as lugging our tray of salads, Dragon Chicken and mini tarts up the steps of Candies. This Saturday, as you do the same, you will find it tough to resist splurging on a trinket or two from the 25 stalls that will dot this popular snack shack's Pali outlet.

At Bazaar & Bling, you can pick up deliciously scented beeswax candles from the brand Crawford Market Candles, by David Crawford (who happens to be the great great nephew of Arthur Travers Crawford, the first municipal commissioner and collector of Bombay). Pyjama Party's handpainted Buddha surrounded by floral motifs finds its way onto a kettle that you just can't resist pouring from. Beverly Pereira's Bag in a Bag gives you some fab waterproof bag organisers that work beautifully in plugging that black hole that your handbag has become of late, while Colour Nymph's splash of colours on tunics and dresses can brighten up even a grey Monday.

Shruti Chopra's Bootika might bring a certain voluptuous image to mind, but is actually a brand that creates lovely hand-painted bags, belts and tees. An NGO will also be selling bags made by under-privileged women. Get there around 2.30 pm and you might just catch some fab Tango and Break Dance performances.

The capseller's hat, Akbar's crown or the rabbit's masku00a0-- there is no limit to what your child can think up at the Art Story workshops for kids aged four to eight years. Raell Padamsee's Academy for Creative Expression (ACE), in association with Crossword, has come up with these monthly workshops in which your kiddo can ACT out the stories that he or she will be told.

They can make these stories come alive by designing artworks related to them, as well as using creative props and costumes in their enactment. If your kid comes up behind you and growls, don't be startledu00a0-- he might just finally be the lion he always wanted to be.
