Nevada City Bizarre - Summer Edition!

Guess who's back? Back again? Becky's back. Moonshine's back. 

(i really want to launch into the words, "i created a monster...."

emily sang that song, or should i say rapped it, at karaoke last week. it was pretty damn hilarious.)

 i guess this means i better include:

two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.

(darin's favorite song lyric ever.)

anyway i am getting off track here.

 

my point being, of course, becky and i came back to the summertime version of the  Nevada City Bizarre to set up our vintage wares and meet up with all our lovely friends from across the canyon.

This time with baby in tow!

Oliver was a fine, fine boothmate let me tell ya.

It only takes one thing to make him happy:  food! mama-food. 

ok and some daddy playtime. lucky boy had both in scores.

i got to see some of the wisest, wittiest, prettiest women in the world.

nicole of flaming hag folkwear and amber of violet folklore. (see their lovely posts about the bizarre here and here....looks like my own blogging has fallen behind, sorry lades)

it feels like another world when we were all together in february tromping through these same streets in sweaters with our gals missa and milla and sadie and addie.

now it's hot and sticky, we are busy with our wares and changes and stories in a summertime whirlwind.

so much fun to reconnect.

sasha and pal visiting our little corner of the world.  (we got the same corner booth as last time. we love it. it feels like home)

goddesses are all around you when you are in nevada city.

we had amber on one side, and then on the other side of her...our placerville friend zack and his amazing intricate fantastical artwork.  i felt surrounded by friends and loved ones. i guess that's why my day felt so full i could hardly stop spinning. my senses and heart were absolutely overwhelmed.

it is fun to see which items interest shoppers. the ladies aren't as into long dresses this time around...probably because it was too hot to imagine trying on anything with extra fabric! i do love me some maxis....

addie and chris over at sasha's Astral Boutique booth...o so much to see...so many pretties...

darin was a great hubby. he built me a rack for my clothes which we painted pink. he also made me my sign (top of this post) with which i am totally in love. for that i let him leave with the boys to go to the river, drink beer all day, watch music, and go out to our favorite pizza ever at the end of the night.

one last note: i love the Miner's Foundry. (the venue of this event) i wish placerville had something comparable. it has stories and history contained in its wood and stone. i love the way it looks inside and the feeling of being there, surrounded by hand crafted goodness and vintage beauty. i loved meeting more nevada city friends and seeing people's summer frocks and lit up smiles. twas a special day indeed. i can't wait till winter; we'll be back again!
