Duane, Linda, and I went to a small arts and crafts show in St. Pete today that featured mostly items from young vendors. My nephew Sam's girlfriend, Samantha, had a booth there for her vintage clothing shop, Beach Voodoo Vintage. Sam was there helping her and it was nice to see both of them.
We arrived early -- around 9:30 -- and Sam suggested a coffee/snack shop just down the street. It was a good choice. We had drinks and a snack and finished up just a little after the bazaar officially opened. The venue, called Nova 350, has a large downstairs area and a smaller one upstairs plus a 'bamboo' garden. Samantha's booth was in the bamboo garden.

Although it was a small show, there were some really cool items. All three of us bought something. I purchased a string art rendering of Florida, Linda bought a book, and Duane bought an organic cotton tee shirt to wear for her tai chi class. One of the vendors outside was a neighbor of Duane's from Tampa. She was there with her bus, the gypsy junQue store on wheels. It's amazing how much cool stuff she has in that little bus. The owner has a website that will feature more items soon. It can be found here.

We also shopped in a small boutique that was located near the bazaar. Duane found a baby gift there. After that we headed back to Tampa and lunch at Mikey's Cafe & Bakery in Duane's neighborhood. Other than the heat when we were outside, it was a really nice way to spend the day.
