Patchwork, Santa Ana, California

Patchwork Show held in the lovely
Arts Village in downtown Santa Ana. 

Fun places to eat and people watch.

The caption says, "What's with the long
face?"

Roses and spring flowers made out of egg cartons.

Charming and friendly vendors. 

This was a must stop, my maternal grandmother,
Olinda, always kept air plants so we had to have one.

There were awesome chocolates from les beaux chocolat.
We purchased: salted  caramel truffle,
vegan pomegranate truffle,
passion fruit truffle, and vegan chili truffle.


Fun so much fun.

Patchwork Shows

As a family, we love thrift stores, street food and art shows.
This love affair may have started with the Pumpkin Festival in my
hometown, Half Moon Bay.

We seek out these events and invite friends to join us.

Jodi was our get along guest.

Color.

Meringues, in Portuguese suspiros: to sigh. 
My oldest sister, Mericia,  was an amazing cook.
She would treat us with suspiros.  Street
festivals hold joyful memories.

The library store on wheels.  Come on, don't you love this.
My summers were spent in a small town library.

Fooooood truck.

Walking back to Mabel, our faithful mini-van,  along the shore.

From here, we headed to San Pedro for dinner.  The get along
gets around.....
