(Let’s start this by saying “thank you”.\u00a0 To all our service members, and to the families of all those who have served.\u00a0 Because without them, we wouldn’t have<\/em> the freedom for me to write about these special events–or for any of us to attend them.)<\/p>\n

And, I admit, this is one of my favorites.\u00a0 The Patchwork Show Modern Handmade Festival <\/a>makes a stop in Long Beach this Sunday, May 25th!\u00a0\u00a0 Now in their seventh year, they’ll host more than 100 local vendors, with some unique and beautiful creations.\u00a0 They also have live music, and this will be both pet-friendly and bike-friendly, with a bike valet and their location right at the water’s edge.\u00a0 And while you’re there, you might like to congratulate\u00a0 Patchwork founder and “Dear Handmade Life”\u00a0<\/a>creator Nicole Stevenson on her just-published first DIY, craft, food and creative-business magazine<\/a>!<\/p>\n
