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...
