Sawdust Festival

I've been attending this fun art fair for years now!
It's full of cool little shacks that are built around the long standing sycamore trees
with good earthy smelling woodchips or "sawdust" covering the ground. 
It's down at Laguna Beach (MY FAV!!). 

I took a leather tooling class and made a key chain ;)

I met up with my buddies to cruise around for a while.
 Sierra Rose took her first trolley ride!
 Garden Shrooms 
 Gaw-gess scenery!
 art shacks
 San Diego Bluegrass Band- Blue Mountain Mule
 Chick Magnet- haha. I told James that chicks dig a guy holding a baby-
especially in a papoose pack :D
 Rose AKA Shmeppi and I having some lunch and watching the band
 Checking out some phenomenal photography!!!
 Tiniest canvases you ever did see!!!!
 Artists makin' art- love his casual demeanor!

Love the buses! 
Blowing Glass
Nicest guy ever! He designs, carves, and polishes these wooden goblets from found local wood. Fantastic!!! His wife also designs drums and artistic pieces from gourds. Cool couple!

Meet Suzette from Suzette Sweaters!

I met this lovely fellow Etsyan, while she was sweater makin' away in her booth.
We spent some time talking shop, Etsy, and art- do stop by her shop and say hello :D

Alright... back to job hunting! I gotta get serious people!
This nursing license is great, but very few people want someone with 
zilch experience! Gotta keep pushing through- keep your fingers crossed for me :D
Happy Wednesday!!!
Nicky
