The school I work at was silver for the local neighborhood festival and parade that took place. I took the theme seriously from tiptop to toenail.
It's magical to wake up one morning and walk out your front door to find your quiet sunny neighborhood transformed into a bustling market. When not participating in school fun and painting the faces of adorable youngsters, I wandered around the booths. My favorites were one selling raw crystals and gems for about a dollar apiece, and another boasting "packable" sun hats located directly outside my yard.
On the first day, the packable hat lady wouldn't bargain with me, but I was not discouraged. I lay patiently in wait, my floppy be-ribboned prey in sight. As she was packing up on Sunday, I ran across my yard and asked for a last minute end-of-festival deal; One more wide-brimmed sunhat became mine.
Hope you wake up to a little magic in your front yard!

MY LITTLE SUEDE SHOES
This festival sounds amazing. I would love my neighborhood to do something like this.
I find attending festivals very exciting. It’s the only time that I see extraordinary looks and things that’s why I treasure every moment for it happens once a year only.
Fantastic hat! I am a little jealous. Did you pick up many crystals and gems? I would have been stocking up, myself.
This looks like a joyful way to spend time - kudos for the bargaining, I'm so bad at it! Love your nails to.
ps. Where can I find the Sendak interview you mentioned to me? Sounds right up my street :)
pps. The second track on my latest mix is Isis by Bob Dylan.
ppps. Thanks so much for all your kind comments on my blog :) I appreciate it so much!
pppps. In case you can't tell, I don't have reply to comments set up ;D How do I do that?

So clever what you did to buy that hat :) It's so cute!
who are the sellers of the hat and the quartz crystal rod in Atlanta, maybe I can locate them in ATL. Thanks...
I don't have space for sunhats, it seems I squished mine whoops!
