Saturday was the Sew Funky Market and it did not disappoint! My sister and I left at 6:30 am to get there in time to set up. We walked in the doors and all we saw was talent! These crafters were/are amazing! I could not get over the cute booths and all their darling items!!

Our little booth. Check out my new find... yellow curtains on clearance for $3! I bought two of them and used them as a backdrop for Saturday's booth! They worked out great!

Here is Christina, the creator of Sew Funky market (which she did amazing at) and her super cute booth Little Wellies! Her items are DARLING!! I met Christina at the Queen Bee in San Diego and was so excited when she told me about her boutique! She is such a doll!

From the moment the doors opened at 9:30 the place was packed!!

Two of the cute Sew Funky girls (sorry for the totally dark picture)! Everyone was SO nice and so helpful!

Thanks Sew Funky team, you guys are awesome!

Looking forward to the Fall Market!

Date coming soon!

Sandy and I could only stay for about an hour until we had to get home to a family event, but that hour was pure awesomeness! A HUGE thank you to my friend Tiffany and her daughter Cassidy for running my booth for me... and taking it all down and bringing it home to me! So awesome! Thanks so much Tiff!!!

I LOVE SUMMER and everything that comes a long with it!
Here is a little list of my 2011 Favorite Things ~Summer Edition

Homemade Fresh Fruit Popsicles

These are so fun and so easy!!

Local Farmers Market every Wednesday

which is especially great to make this

and This

(two of my summer favorites)

Smoky Guacamole recipe found here

while we're still on favorite summer food topic... these Salmon Burgers from Costco are Scrumptious!

A few weeks ago I picked these homemade soaps up at a boutique. Oh my gosh, I LOVE THEM! They are so Summer Fresh smelling. I wished I picked up more... but then found her card and saw that I can order online. hooray! Wisayla soaps and lotions found here

I am also loving the lip balm as well!

TJ's Shaving Cream is always on my Favorite Things list. I love their shaving cream!

Once my legs are shaved then it's time for some "Natural Glow" (since my natural glowing white legs are a little too white for the Summer, this stuff is my go-to)!

I am also loving this new spray sun screen from TJ. It feels less greasy than the other spray sunscreens I have used in the past. We are going through sunscreen like we go through milk over here!

LOVE THIS BLOG! I have been following it for the past two summers and Jill not only gives a great weekly list of fun things to do, but also shares great recipes and cute craft ideas too!

We love a good after-Summer-activity-milk-shake every so often. A fun Summer Treat!

This summer I am loving the "Jack Johnson" station on Pandora. Perfect station to listen to during the afternoon of Summer activities drop-offs and pick up's.

during the Summer my hair is almost always in a messy bun... so I am loving grabbing a hair wrap to dress up the mess!

To Celebrate Summer Favorite Things my Favorite Hair wraps are on sale here

And my Ultimate Favorite Summer thing is spending the day at the Beach with these three! I LOVE lazy days at the beach playing in the sand and the surf. I loved it as a kid and I love it as a mom!

What are some of your Summer Favorites?
