happy summer solstice

happy happy summer solstice!!
when i was a kid my mother took me to the summer solstice parade each summer in santa barbara, a crazy parade of hippies & happies, non-motorized floats, rainbows & streamers. it was always a lovely parade. but now that i have been working at the fremont fair in seattle the past couple of years that little parade of my memory seems so tame in comparison. the fremont fair is a two day festival in celebration of summer and the solstice. it is honestly one of my favorite events. the people are so colorful (literally), and friendly. everyone is just so happy to see the sun in the northwest. even though i don't get to see the parade from where i work, i get to see the parade people walking through the streets all day long, and let me tell you it must be a very entertaining parade......lots of painted naked people on bikes.

so, if you are in seattle this weekend be sure to stop by the fremont fair. i have lots of little lovelies for you, and you will definitely be entertained :)

p.s. happy father's day!!
