from the indian fair at the heard museum this guy lives up the road and hella hooked up when i my garden his name is jacob butler. such a cool dude. he does this designwork on shell i got this one, but decided to send it to my mom in thailand (more pics from the indian fair on facebook)

my favorite booth: the Juren Ae Women's Club (check their website) training center for highschool dropouts they teach young women with no other skills how to make these traditional crafts happy to support such a good cause, sometimes we all stumble & fall or get lost, and just need someone to show us a different way. keep doing what u do ladies. much respect. (more pics from the aloha fest on facebook)
and then i went to this worldfest thing this past weekend it was small, but ended up being really cool. i enjoyed the weather & enterainment. (posted a bunch of videos my facebook) this was my favorite part:
i don't know, its just my name, but i think it's so cool! i hung it up at work.
my other favorite booth was UFWP they had alot alot alot of good stuff i got this headband, scarf & 2 pair handmade earrings happy to support that.
after that world fair i wandered down to jobot for an americano discovered this was going on super sweet it was cool. i wanna go to the next one too.
stumbling upon and being fortunate enough to be able to contribute a little bit to all these things going on makes me feel good to be alive. dispite all the recent tragedy, there are so many great things going on in this world, just gotta look in the right places. ;) so thanks so much again to everyone out there supporting g jewelry. i try my best to give it back. love the love. always pay it forward.
First Friday was fun as always. check the fb photo album we got DJ Element to rock the tables for us so the vibe was extra chill
