Ric Rac Roundup!

   Today was the 2nd annual Ric Rac Roundup hosted by Bon Bon Atelier in Westport. (Not to be confused with being Rick Roll'd, which is altogether more unpleasant than a craft fair.) It was soooo hot & humid that the Fresher than Fresh snow cones trailer was a welcome sight! Kelly & I got in line as soon as we arrived, and enjoyed a delectable lemon prickly pear treat. (Other flavors included watermelon basil, lime mint, blackberry lavendar, green tea pear, pineapple serrano pepper, espresso Mexican cane sugar & the mysterious daredevil special.) They were also selling very cute buttons & t-shirts. The trailer moves around town, but can always be found from noon-7 on Sundays in the park at 17th & Summit. I kind of want to move there. blog

   There was a ton of cool stuff (and several Hallmarkers' booths), but almost all of my purchases were from Tara Tonsor / Seek Design. She creates cool jewelry with new & vintage charms, unique shapes, and found objects. Also, she couldn't be nicer.
   Afterward we enjoyed lunch in the cool air conditioning at Thai Place. I'm a sucker for pad Thai anytime, even if it's 1000 degrees outside.

Ric Rac Roundup

Ric Rac Roundup, a handmade craft sale, was held in Westport today. The shibas & I headed up there to check out the artists' work. Big thanks to Sandi Devenny for tipping me off about the event. There were a ton of great items, especially Sandi's rooster plush! It was difficult to choose, but ultimately I walked away with a couple of Decoylab's wooden clocks. (The bear is a gift, but that squirrel isn't going anywhere!) ; )
I also stopped into Poptopia & met Patrick, the owner. Got some badges with really fun designs!*
