Festival International

This past weekend we set up at Festival International in Lafayette, Louisiana. How is it that we've lived in this area for 12 years and have never made the 2.5 hour trek over before? This is an amazing event with bands from all over the world performing from noon until late in the evening. One of my favorite bands was "Monsieur No" from France--I liked the combination of accordian, fiddle, upright bass and silly costumes. Their website--monsieurno.com--is also loads of fun. So, we sold alot of soap (alot of soap...) and a good many candles and had a great time visiting with the other craftspeople and with our customers. Thanks to all of you who stopped by!

This next weekend (May 5 & 6) we'll be at Fest for All in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is the 30th anniversary of Fest for All--there are 3 stages of music, an entire boulevard of fine artists and craftsmen from 15 states (come see us in booth #56) and a great kid's area with performances by our daughters' favorite, Papillion. Baton Rouge is one of our favorite towns, with art savvy residents and an especially wonderful Thai restaurant--Thai Pepper on Florida Boulevard. The Saturday buffet is our favorite.

The bread for dinner is coming out of the oven, so I'm off...
