Weekend in Pictures: The Carlsbad Village Faire

Back on May 5, 2013, my mother-in-law came into town to pay a visit to her grandson, and also because she had an Origami Owl booth at The Carlsbad Village Faire.  The Faire is the nation’s largest one-day street faire.  I know it’s in the name, but I was completely unprepared for just how many streets this faire would cover!  Although the weather left much to be desired (it rained at the very end), I had a great time getting to know Carlsbad.  I fully intend to come back to Carlsbad and explore more of this beautiful beach side northern San Diego city.  In the meantime, I’ve included a photo diary of our day at The Faire.  Enjoy!

My boys with my hubby’s first purchase of the day…a Steelers rolling cooler (that can be used as a seat)!

Kettle corn is always a crowd pleaser.

I bought a cute little handmade Geisha girl backpack from the booth on the left, and failed to get that cute purse on the right.  It was only $10!

A whole lotta art everywhere!

Music was also all around in the form of live bands, wares, and…hares!  Added another record store to my list to go back and visit: Spin Records.

While I add record stores to my list of places to visit, my hubby adds golf courses.

Our food adventures:  kangaroo skewers and blueberry lemonade.  Deon enjoyed the skewers, but I loved the lemonade much more.

You bet I’m coming back to visit Carlsbad and shop…they have a Bit O’ Britain there!
