maker faire and other pursuits

Adam and I explored the Bay Area Maker Faire this 
past weekend and boy it was a hoot. We got to letterpress a small journal, witness giant Lego dioramas and play with robots! Jesus, we are geeks.

And of course I shopped...and saved. A fellow Etsian,
Bread & Badger, was there and I happily purchased Adam's birthday present and saved mucha moolah on shipping. Very cool.

It was wonderful to see many Etsy sellers and see their fabulous 
craft first hand. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark of marmar and he is now a favorite of mine. 

His designs are incredible and I put one of his pendants on my birthday wishlist. Hey, a girl can dream.
 
Speaking of dreaming, in my marginal attempt at domestication, I made a strawberry jam AND strawberry pie this past week. I must say, the results have been delicious.  

I freaking LOVE California. All this fresh fruit is making me a little woozy.  I wonder what I'll make next...

  1. Oh my gosh. I so want to go to Maker Faire. I've been drooling over this event for years. I'm so excited that you got to go. I'm also going to pass your blog on to my good buddy, Jenna. I think she'd adore your Etsy and you'd like hers too. Hugs from the Midwest.
