We woke up early yesterday. Mark brewed beer and I investigated how my plants are doing so far. The pansies have recovered from a rough start and are full of blossoms and buds! My other flower seeds are sprouting and I can't wait to get them into the gardens and pots.
After breakfast and a bike ride we went to Craftstravaganza at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and I ran into my dear friend, Diana, who blogs over at :dianapantz:!
My haul:
I wish I'd done better at remembering where I got what, but I grabbed so many business cards for vendors' websites and Etsy stores I wanted to check out, that I can't figure out where I got each item.
1. Amy Jo: cute cat print on wood. 2. Little flower hair clip. 3. Felt owl pin. 4. Squirrel pin- I got to make this myself at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts! They had books and magazines that you could cut a picture from and make your old little free button (although I did feel guilty cutting up an old Disney storybook). 5. Burlesque of NA: fruit and veggie print. I have several prints from them, and generally love the stuff they make, and this will be perfect in our kitchen!
I saw so much stuff I would have loved to buy, but stayed way under my budget and waited till I saw everything before I spent any money. I also got inspiration for things I can make on my own with supplies I already have! After we were crafted out, we went for a walk, beers, and snacks.
Yummy cheese plate outside at one of our favorite restaurants and chalk art by us.
What a great way to spend a Saturday and I'm sure we'll have many more like it this summer!

Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic. Canadian mail order marijuana
