Let the Waves Carry You
From Quiet Moments to Mercury Fest
In the spirit of finding meaning in the small and unplanned, it feels surreal to share this next chapter.
The very first booth event I wanted to attend: Mercury Fest (6–8 June)... It's finally on the horizon! I remember seeing it from afar before I even started my booth journey and whispering to myself, “I hope I get picked…” And now, that quiet wish is gently becoming a reality.
But this moment didn’t arrive out of nowhere. Like most things that matter, it came together through many tiny, unplanned steps: chance meetings, small encouragements, and sparks of connection that lit the path forward.
Along the way, I met some of the kindest souls—organizers from Mercury Fest who made the idea feel possible, fellow creatives who will also be there this June, and even lovely customers who’ve already marked their calendars. Some of these moments happened while I was quietly doing my own booths; others started online with a like, a comment, or a share, slowly blooming into a soft sense of community. These encounters were never orchestrated—but they found me, and I’m endlessly grateful for each one.
In preparation for this heartfelt milestone, I created the Calm Amidst Chaos collection: a quiet tribute to the theme of ‘Seven Seas’. Inspired by the ocean’s dual nature of motion, yet capabilities of great stillness, each piece carries the essence of finding peace even when life feels unpredictable.
This collection wasn’t just made for Mercury Fest—it was shaped by it. The idea of showing up amidst uncertainty, of flowing with the waves instead of fighting them, became the undercurrent for every design, every thread, every soft image of Laluna seeking stillness amidst the storm.
Seeing this range resonate with so many of you has been a kind of magic I never expected. Your messages, your smiles at the booth, your quiet support—all of it made this moment real.
If you’ve been walking this journey with Lalunathepanda, from near or far… thank you. Truly. You are the calm in my chaos.
And as we drift toward Mercury Fest, know that new things are quietly blooming behind the scenes: pieces made especially for this moment, carrying little whispers of calm, wonder, and discovery.
Stay close. Stay curious. And let’s meet where the waves are soft and the magic flows gently.
