Next event...North Park Festival of the Arts!!

Hello everyone,

I hope people are enjoying the roasting Spring we are having here in San Diego!  Last week at the Farmer's Market I thought I was going to melt into a puddle from the sun.  I really shouldn't complain...those folks out in Campo, Temecula, Palm Springs etc. etc. are saying, "what are you talking about??"  Today was a nice break in that I was not sweating in the house.  Yea.

I've been a busy beaver, as usual.  Every other Saturday at the Scripps Ranch Farmer's Market has improved steadily.  I am very relieved, because it was a bit depressing at first.  Maybe I am getting better at selling stuff? Or people are getting to know me?  Or dumb luck?  Who knows!  But it's all good.  I also did a display at a friend's house, and that was a lot of fun.

So, my big news is..... this coming Saturday, May 18th,

North Park Festival of the Arts!!!!!!!!!!  University and 30th, 11 am to 6 pm

This is the biggest event I have done by far.  I am not sure what to expect....but I know I am going to have a good time.  This event is totally cool.  YOU (that means YOU!) should check it out!  There is something for everyone.  Bands, food trucks, craft beer garden, tons of totally awesome vendors (he he), a kids art block, and more!  I will be on Ray Street.

Ok, I couldn't help noticing that you could also interpret that as "North Park Festival 'O' Farts".  I know, I know, sorry.  I am around a 4 year old all day who gleefully informs me whenever he "toots", poops, pees, or does any kind of bodily function.

On that note, here are some new pieces of late!
