This summer is just zooming by! Last month we celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary! Yes, I know I don't look old enough to have been married for that long, and I'm almost not! We were married when I was 17 and he was 18. We celebrated by laying in the grass in the park and then going out for Pho. Afterwards we met up with the boys & grandparents to launch model rockets.

Then I went to Lake Oswego. Here is a shot of my booth. We were so lucky to have such beautiful weather! You never know what you will get with outdoor shows!

Next it was time for the Puget Sound Bead Festival in Tacoma. Each time I go to Tacoma I like it more and more. Downtown is such an eclectic mix of old and new buildings. This is the view from the Convention Center. I love that you can see Mt. Rainier, the Museum of Glass (two of my favorite places), along with the Tacoma Dome and Union Station all from one spot.
Here are a few happy customers :)



After the show we spent a few days in Port Townsend visiting friends and family and celebrating my 31st birthday. We got home last night and I'm already busy getting ready for the Northwest Crossing Saturday Market, which is tomorrow and the Bellevue Arts Museum Arts Fair at the end of this month.
