The Good Family

Bazar 🦋

~~

Irene excitedly proposed to Liza to revive the annual Ilocos products showcase, which had been paused due to the pandemic. This year, Liza entrusted Irene once again to organize the bazaar, with hopes of rekindling the spirit of the initial event.

As Irene reached out to local artists and invited them to join the upcoming bazaar, they gladly agreed, and everyone was excited to participate.

While Irene was picking up her Yara from school, hugging and kissing her favorite daughter, she asked...

Irene: Little girl, do you have any names in mind for the bazaar?
Yara: *thinking* Is it going to be like the ones from years ago? A private event, right?

Irene: Well, yes. The guests will be just our family and friends, along with some invited people from our extended friends.
Yara: Why not call it 'Not So Secret Bazaar', Mama? Since it's a private event too.

Irene smiled at Yara's suggestion.

Irene: That's a clever idea, sweetheart! 'Not So Secret Bazaar' has a nice ring to it. It captures the essence perfectly.

Yara beamed with pride at her contribution.

Yara: I'm glad you like it, Mama! *giggled*

As they drove back home, Irene's mind was already buzzing with plans for the bazaar.

Irene: We'll need to finalize the details and make sure everything is set up beautifully. Your Auntie will be so pleased with this name, my little girl.
Yara: *nodded in agreement* I think it'll be a lot of fun, Mama. And it's special because it's just for our close circle.

Irene: That's right, darling. It'll be a wonderful gathering, filled with unique creations from talented artists. And it'll be a chance for us to support our local community too.

Yara looked out the window, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Yara: I'm looking forward to it, Mama. It feels like a special way to bring people together.
Irene: *patted Yara's hand* You're right, sweetheart. It's not just about the bazaar, but about the connections and memories we'll create together

As they pulled into their driveway, both Irene and Yara were filled with excitement for the upcoming "Not So Secret Bazaar" and the meaningful moments it would bring.

The days leading up to the "Not So Secret Bazaar" were a whirlwind of activity. Irene and Yara worked side by side, organizing, decorating, and ensuring everything was just right. They could feel the anticipation building in the air.

On the day of the event, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the venue. The space was transformed into a vibrant showcase of local talent, with colorful displays and a lively atmosphere. Irene couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude for everyone who had come together to make it happen.

As guests started to arrive, laughter and chatter filled the air. Friends and family mingled, admiring the array of unique products on display. Yara, in her element, eagerly showed guests around, sharing the stories behind each creation.

Liza, one of their guest of honor, beamed with joy as she took in the scene.

Liza: Irene, Yara, my darling *beso* This is truly something special. You've created a beautiful experience for all of us. Thank you, to our best mom and daughter.

Liza dances with her niece Yara and Irene smiles, grateful for Liza's words.

Irene: We're so glad you think so, Liza. It wouldn't have been possible without everyone's support.
