Swapmeetin it! and Chaddykin's birthday!

Sunday-Halloween marked the first day of saSSaFrass art at the Melrose/Fairfax Trading Post...also known as the "swapmeet". Chad came with me for moral support...I was a lil nervous about my first day as a vendor at this outdoor flea market of sorts...I would frequent this market many Sundays as a curious buyer and people observer. Now I am on the other side of the booth selling my own little slice of unique. Art. Still observing the passer-"buyers" ;) It was fun! I can't wait to witness the growth of each new Sunday I set up my booth and put my paintings out under the big blue sky!!!

Monday- Chad's 34th Birthday!!!!! I wanted it to be special....I set up balloons and gifts and roses...he woke up to a birthday wonderland and a singing Mickey Mouse... haha. We went out to breakfast and then shopping at Urban for a couple new shirts compliments of his parents sending some b-day scratch his way! yay! Then it was putt putt golfing at The Magic Castle...I hadn't done that in years! I am not as good I had hoped to be...Chad beat me. But hey, it was his b-day afterall...so, I accepted my defeat graciously. Plus I knew what was coming next..and was too excited to be mad I lost putt putt..haha...a SURPRISE DINNER!!! Chad's friends gathered in one place...Cobras and Matadors..our favorite spanish style tapas joint...great ambience and even better eats! He was truly shocked...and so elated to see all his friends smiling faces pop out from behind their menus and yell "SURPRISE!!!" I even snuck in his favorite cake..oreo icecream cookie cake. Oh boy!!!! We had great conversation that spilled over into Jones Bar...some of the night owls stayed out for a night cap....
The night was so full of love, laughter, friendly faces. What a special day til the very end.
