SF Wrapped up

I'm just wrapping up my time at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Fransisco today- I had a few more photos to share, along with my highs and lows.  

Highlights: the Farmer's Market at Fort Mason Pier- such pretty salad, amazing fresh squeezed orange juice and peaches! 
Lowlights: the mad rush to attempt to get the work 7 blocks to the post office in time for us to leave for our flight, (no taxi's wanting to pick us up with our boxes, me running with a hotel dolly with 2 of the largest boxes to the post office, being late for our shuttle etc. etc.) and then finding out at the airport that our flight was 2 hours delayed.  Definitely the hardest part of this adventure was not being able to ship anything from or to the actual venue. 

SF day 2

Highlights: finding the Curiosity Shoppe and Paxton Gate (they didn't allow photos but you can find a few on this blog post from 2009), shopping and having drinks and lunch with Claire and Grace, my lovely Vancouver studio buddies, checking out the view as we rode a bus up to Haight-Ashbury.

Lowlights: both Grace and I feeling unwell- me in the morning, Grace in the afternoon (the water?  wacky eating schedules? catching a chill the night before?), waiting 2 hours longer then expected for our boxes of ceramics to arrive at our hotel, a really inebriated and rude man that came and sat beside us while we were having dinner...

SF day 1

 Highlights: having a yummy lunch at Bread & Cocoa, finding a sale at the Camper store, riding the Trolley Cable Car to Fisherman's Wharf with Grace,  and eating the most amazing seafood pasta at a little Italian restaurant that we found in an alley.
Lowlights: being incredibly cold and realizing we hadn't packed for how cold and windy it was going to get, and the long cue for the trolley to head back, while being hungry and cold! brr

Traveling display

I finally had a bit of a brainwave last week sorting out my display with Renegade- a couple of vintage suitcases that I can bring with me on the plane.... so I don't have to ship my whole display!  Necessity is the mother of invention sometimes, and having a mother-in-law who just happens to have a 'collection' of vintage suitcases just sitting around is also extremely handy.
Happy Monday to you!
