Fun times at the historic Miner’s Foundry in downtown Nevada City on Saturday, as vendors from all over Northern California converged to try and make a buck…

My spot.

I was lucky enough to be placed next to my favorite folks from Placerville. Here’s Becki of Velvet Leaf setting up the booth she shared with Heather of Moonshine Junkyard.

And here’s Becki and Jorden’s sweet little Oliver, made famous already on Heather’s blog.

Becki was very pregnant at the Winter Bizarre back in December. It was nice to see the fruit of her labor and to finally meet this little guy and get to spend some time snuggling him!

Sasha’s booth.

Leora(who has already posted her own blog about the event)’s booth.

Now these folks. There’s a special story here. At the December Bizarre Kim and Ryan’s booth was right next to mine. Kim secretly tried on, looked AMAZING in, and bought a wedding dress from me (“for if we get married some day, but don’t tell Ryan, I want it to be a surprise”). Well, talking to them on Saturday I learned that they were getting married the next day, and that she was going to wearing the dress!

You can check out their sweet creations at A Boy Named Coy.

Hi friends! Geez, I’ve had a number of blogs set up to work on and post lately, but life is so full I just haven’t found the time. Kindergarten started today though, so hopefully the time will find me soon. So this is just a quick hello!

Today Suuzi’s husband Spencer Seim’s band Hella is featured on NPR’s Song of the Day! Pretty rad deal! If you like what you hear, keep your ears peeled for his latest project with Aaron Ross, Aamaranth. Their album, produced by Guy Massey (who won a Grammy this year for remastering The Beatles’ box set), will be out soon.

Yes, our darling Suuzi- who loves vintage peasant dresses, tends her chickens, goats, and garden every day, and keeps an immaculate house- is married to a hard core rock n’ roller. In fat, they met when she interviewed him for a Canadian music magazine.

Hope you all are busy bees gathering up the last of the sweet summer nectar!
