Portland Saturday Market
Not to be confused with the Farmer's Market, the Portland Saturday Market is an awesome open-air arts and crafts market that runs throughout the whole weekend during the Good Months of the Year in Downtown. If I am not mistaken, it has been the longest running in the Nation. I hadn't been since last August, just days after moving here, so I'm glad I had company this time. :)
To the left is Lesley who is totally badass and sweet and awesome. All at the same time.
You find all sorts of performers and strange things at the Market.
Kjell is the owner of Plywerk, and I met him during that first time I visited the Market. It took me so long to make friends back when I moved to Las Vegas two years ago, but here in Portland I had already befriended Kjell on my first weekend! His wife Kim is SUPER adorable.
Lesley and I didn't quite know what to make of these. They're just... well, creepy.
Wow, hard core tye-dye is still in style? Blows my mind.
OMG, I spent a good 20 minutes GIGGLING at the PHILOSORAPTOR t-shirt. TWENTY MINUTES. Whenever I have spending money in my hands again, I'll buy like fifty of these. PHILOSORAPTOR!
You know there's a higher being up there somewhere when plants that eat animals exist. AWESOME. Just plain AWESOME.
I WANT THOSE COLORFUL LIGHTS AND I WANT THEM NOW.
I am slightly disappointed nary a narwhal was present on this play table. We need more narwhals in our lives.

Hi Amy!!! I love your photographs! They are so full of life. Funny... I was out on a boat yesterday... and this guy was wearing a shirt with all kinds of marine animals on it... all over the place. I was looking for a narwhal, but there wasn't one. There definitely should have been one there!!!!! They ROCK! What are you doing this weekend?!!!
xox,
