《我們的低成本招牌》
隨著最近出攤的頻率越來越高
有的時候攤位的大小都不一定，也一直想著怎麼樣裝飾會更好看也更特別，卻又不丟失拉丁美洲的路線？
在外面看到各式各樣的攤販，心裡非常羨慕又很神奇，怎麼大家都那麼有才，是我做不到也想不到的，花錢美化攤位也是投資的一部分，所以最近想著是不是應該來換一個很酷的招牌，也一直搜尋跟思考這個部分，但每一次我們出攤的時候，看到這個從一開始陪伴我們走過一年多的布條（招牌）回憶就湧上心頭，那是我們第一次出攤什麼都沒有的情況下做的，2025要參加在圓山的辣翻塔可節，我們真的很頭痛因為就像我說的我們什麼都沒有阿，甚至那時候還是用家用小烤箱在做300多份的甜點，Alex 早上在外面上班，那時我懷孕，但有很多蝦皮看不到的東西要到處採買，真的很苦惱怎麼做我們的招牌然後又可以不要花太多錢，在迪化街買東西的時候突然一個想法出來：好吧，我自己畫….
突然一個眨眼就在布行裡面了，裁了個尺寸，買顏料跟工具就回家熬夜趕工了。
記得那時候我們忙到早上，然後睡一個小時就起床出發，甚至顏料都沒有完全乾透。但是成果很滿意，不完美但真實，我認為它也很代表我們，手作雖然無法到完美可是卻無法被複製，簡單純樸、平易近人。
如果哪天真的我們改變了招牌，我想我永遠會懷念它💖

《Our Low-cost sign》
We’ve been doing more markets lately, and every booth is a different size.
I keep thinking about how to make ours look nicer and more unique, while still keeping our Latin American style.
Seeing other vendors, I’m honestly amazed😳
Everyone is so creative.
I know improving the booth is an investment, so I’ve been thinking about getting a cooler sign.
But every time we set up and see this banner, all the memories come back.
It was our very first sign, from when we had almost nothing.
In 2025, we were preparing for a taco festival at Yuanshan. It was really hard. We made over 300 desserts with just a small home oven.
Alex worked during the day, I was pregnant, and I had to run everywhere . We needed a sign, but didn’t want to spend much.
“Okay, I’ll just paint it myself.”
So I bought fabric, paint, and tools, and stayed up all night making it.
We worked until morning, slept for one hour, and went to the market. The paint wasn’t even fully dry.
But we loved it.
It’s not perfect, but it’s real.
It feels like us.
Handmade things aren’t perfect, but they can’t be copied. Simple, honest, and close to people.
Maybe one day we’ll change it.
But I know I’ll always miss this one.💖
