Hey hey, I had accidentally bought the wrong stamp set from Gmarket and decided instead of just letting it sit in my drawer, I would give it to one of you girls! All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what your favourite part of the circus is and a lucky person will be randomly selected as the winner next Thursday! Everyone is entitled to participate! xoxo

  2. waaaaaaaaaaaaah how cool!

    I don’t think I’ve ever been to a circus! ): haha

  4. melly says:

    mmmm, it’s got to be the elephants!

  5. Beverly. says:

    I would say I love how the circus always seem so vivid and also the flexibility of the tight rope performers. The animals and clowns make me feel that I’ve escaped from reality, it feels like I’m in an entirely different world where there’s just happiness and colours. =D

  6. crochetleaf says:

    i’ve never been to a circus before! do we even have one in Sg? but im really attracted to the bright colours from what i know from tv shows!

  7. Victoria says:

    I love the animals involve.
    Sometimes watching the movie dumbo makes me sad.
    Don’t like to see them behind cages:(

    My childhood fear is clowns so I secretly hope I won’t win this. hehe

  8. grace says:

    THE TRAPEZE ARTISTS!!! what else??

  9. thebigescape says:

    i’ve never been to the circus before, but i’m pretty sure i’ll love the juggling acts. plus, i’ve been lusting after these fabulous gmarket circus stamps for quite a while now! they’re so pretty (:

  10. samantha says:

    like most of the above comments, i’ve yet been to a proper circus with all the amazing acts but i reckon my favourite part of the circus would be all the fire-eating/juggling/trapeze/tight-rope acts! its always thrilling to watch people do those stunts, even if i end up hurting myself horribly if i tried. :p

    its pretty cool that you’re doing a giveaway!

  11. Sophia says:

    The courage and constant excellence the circus crew have and does to bring us such an awesome experience.

    Hi Sarah,

    It’s so nice of you to give out the stamps.=)I remembered when went to the circus at Hong Kong, I was so fancinated by the circus monkeys aas they could do amazing staunts.Its really cool and shocking.The entrance fee was around 18.00 when converted back to sing dollars.Pray hard..hope that i will be the lucky winner.=)God bless u too.

  13. honk says:

    definitely the gymnastics and tumbling aspects of it!!

  14. cori says:

    hmm. i don’t think we have circuses in sg…but we try to! i think our pasar malams…the ones in the past used to have some circus elements…like the rides, prizes given away…

    but i think if i were to really pick an element that i really like, i think i’ll be bananas over the food. candy floss, cinnamon rings, candied apples… :D :D

  15. lina says:

    ooo! a giveaway!! well, i have to say that the trapeze acrobatic people are my favorite thing at the circus. oh & the cotton candy!

  16. Claire says:

    i love tightrope acrobats! hope you are feeling fine after your op!

  17. wanping says:

    The sparkly costumes, ethereal light effects and the surreal feeling you get when watching the acts!

  18. Christine says:

    The stamps are adorable! My favourite part has got to be the stalls selling bright pink cotton candy and popcorn, to me they represent little mounds of edible happiness :)

  19. Diy says:

    Such adorable stamps! I can never understand Gmartket even with the english version.

    My favourite part of the circus would be the tent or building itself. I LOVE the classic red and white stripes of the tent and the cicular shape is just so cool! Cirque d’hiver in Paris has the most enchanting one!

  20. Janet says:

    I’ve been to the circus only once,ages ago! I love clowns though! :P

  21. karyn says:

    i’m always fascinated with circus! the acrobats, clowns, animals, trapeze, jugglers.. love the series of acts that are choreographed to music as well.

    if i don’t win this, i have to find my way to get my hands on some of these adorable stamps.

  22. 18november says:

    for me it’s entering the huge tent and hearing all the cheers on whatever act is currently showing. the roar of the audience really excites me!

  23. ash says:

    I love the trapeze artists! The costumes! Circus food! XD

  24. dawn says:

    Haha. I’m gonna join in the fun! I’ve never been to a circus before. But I imagine circuses to have….. LOTS OF BUNTINGS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) ANd you know how much I love buntings. Hahaha :P

  25. racheltan says:

    i don’t recall ever catching a circus live, it’s not a popular culture here in singapore ): however, i believe i would enjoy the clowns the most (: they’re cheeky and exaggerated, it’ll be a joy to watch!

    Thank you for the generosity and thought. i’ve been following your blog for awhile now; i got it off dawn’s blog! here’s to starting your own cafe and shop soon! fighting!

  26. plastiqgurl says:

    aaahhhhhhh so cute! me me me me

    i love everything! it brings back so much childhood memories. there was this huge circus near my place when i was young and i remember going to the fire eating show, the clowns, circus rides and the magic shows!
    i want to DIY my own party invitation cards with the stamps!

  27. Bella says:

    Me love the baby pink fairy!!

  28. soo ying says:

    my mum was beside me when I was surfing your blog in the living room, and I asked her if she remembers bringing me to the circus when we were young.. and she did! :) It was a big tent located at the open field beside Parkway Parade (before the condos came) and ironically… I don’t remember much of the acts. What I can recall is the anticipation of going to the circus (I’m sure there were animals!) and YES! I do remember the clowns! mama got me a little clown toy when the show ended. It had big puffy yellow pants and a silly smile :) no idea where the toy is now :( I’m glad to have visited the circus once in my life though the memories are no longer vivid. come to think of it, circuses are kinda getting extinct? cos of animal rights? and kids prefer ’stuffed animals’ like barney? (though that’s a dino!) and yes, I do wish to receive the stamp set :) it’ll be kinda neat to do some craft with it with my little nephew and intro him to the circus world! :)

  29. lee ping says:

    my favourite part is the aerial aspect- the silks, the trapeze.. the element of freedom in flight is just breathtaking and beautiful.

    thanks for your genersoity btw! i love reading ur site, it’s a breath of fresh air ;)

  30. gisele says:

    dumbo and rainbow buntings!! I don’t remember going to a circus when I was younger. :( I grew up reading Dumbo and I really want to visit a real circus in this lifetime. Maybe I will meet my Dumbo there? ;D

  31. mausumi says:

    My favorite part of the circus is the acrobats. So breathtaking! And the elephants. I really love elephants, they are so fascinating, even though it hurts to see them in captivity.

    and cirque de soleil has always fascinated me as well. :)

  32. Ambroisine says:

    Ohh the circus stamp set is so cute, I love it !
    What I prefer most is the trapeze artists, it’s always fascinating :)

  33. cassandra says:

    My favourite part has to be how things you didn’t think was possible is made possible in the craziest, most colorful and outrageous way. From the stunts to the costumes to the tent itself. =))

  34. ash lee says:

    i like cartoons with circuses. i like it when there’s the cute elephants, and acrobats doing their thing. everything is colorful and everyone seems happy.

    so my favorite part of a circus is when the cartoon i watch is about one. in real life, i’ve never been to one, so yeah, it’s kinda sad.

    p/s: sarah, i love you and your blog. :D

  35. Emi says:

    Lions! How awesome are they. Albeit the fact that having them at circuses are a tad bit cruel but they’re still cool. And elephants. Although I don’t think any circus I’ve been to so far had elephants. But Lions>Elephants!

  36. cat says:

    i like the fire-rings! if that is they even do appear hee.

  37. Sharine says:

    These stamps are lovely!

    My favourite part of the circus is the music! Just listening to it makes me feel like I’m part of the act as well, and not merely the audience.

  38. Heather S says:

    My favorite part of the circus is the acrobats!

  39. gruneaugen says:

    I love the tight-rope artistes. How do they do it!

  40. tasha says:

    ahh, i’ve always wanted a stamp set but the ones i love are a tad expensive ($45) for a student like me. :\
    my imaginary fav part (cos i’ve nvr been to one) would be the cute little dogs/puppies/piglets/ducklings performing stunts and waddling around the tent and then hearing the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ of the crowd. sweet!

  41. lingyi says:

    circuses have always been a little bit eerie for me, i was terrified watching Dumbo as a kid! but if i had to choose, it would be the trapeze artists because their art is so elegant!

  42. LEBAMwham! says:

    It would have to be the awesome animals that can do all sorts of tricks and stunts! It’s awesome to me cause my pampered dog doesn’t even know how to respond to “SIT”!

  43. Penelope says:

    (!) What cute stamps! :)
    My favourite part of the circus is, I think it’s called, the Russian silks. So amazing watching them do gymnastics in the air!

  44. emmie. says:

    oh i love these! i adore the ballerina set they also sell. (:

    What I love about the circus is the opportunity to eat delicious foods like fairy floss and popcorn. We shouldn’t need an excuse, but watching clowns and baby elephants seems to do the trick!

    x.

  45. fav part ? - is to imagine myself on the trapeze and fire eating scene!
    & then get down, eat some fairy floss in an array of colours!

  46. Serene says:

    I
    LOVE
    THE
    SMILES
    OF
    EVERYONE’S
    FACES
    WHEN
    AT
    THE
    CIRCUS.

    deep down i know its a happy place for us visitors & a sad place for the workers, because of working conditions, low pay and esp those poor “freak” show people etc.. but i do secretly wish that eventually they’ll find their happiness elsewhere.

    Randomness much LOL sry.

  47. Not sure if I’m still in time but anyway, my favourite part?

    The food! Ok pk, I’ll say the trapeze artists :)
