The first Saturday on our trip to Arizona Grandma and Grandpa took us to Tucson’s 4th Avenue Spring Street Fair.  It was huge, with 400+ arts and crafts booths there was so much to see, and a lot of talent to appreciate!

Here is where we started.

As time went by the streets became more and more crowded.

There were 35+ food vendors alone.  Look at all the weight in meat on just this one grill.

I can only imagine how much food was sold at this 3 day event!

There were so many unique and clever vendors I could go on and on for ages, but I’ll share 2 of my favorites that I snapped pictures of.

First are fantastic photographs of mainly doors adhered to metal with rough edges.

I loved these!  Aren’t they beautiful?

Another booth I loved contained gorgeous wood bowls and vases.

I particularly love the knots in the wood.  These works of art produced visions of decorating a log cabin or mountain home. J

We had a fantastic time at the fair.  It is a must do as far as I am concerned if you happen to be in the area when it occurs.  The weather was amazing.  It was sunshine and blue skies.

And lots of colourful umbrellas filled the streets to provide shelter from the sun.

Many booths contained little works of art dangling in the wind.

I love the gorgeous rainbows prisms create!

Big Brother enjoyed a ride on a mini ferris wheel while we were at the fair.

All of us had a great time, with so much to see and take in.  It was definitely a crafter’s paradise, and I loved it.  Thanks for taking us Grandma and Grandpa!

Do you have a prism in your home?

I used to go to street fairs all the time back home. I don't have a prism in my house, but I had one in my room when I was little. I loved it and would stare at the rainbow for hours. Did you buy any cool crafts?

Astrid,
I didn't buy any crafts while I was there, although there were so many things I loved. I needed to save up for the luggage fee on the way home, j/k :-) I am not sure I would have been able to decide with so many amazing choices!

I love going to street fairs. They have such unique gifts and gadgets. I love the wooden bowls and vases. How beautiful. It reminded of our house we use to own in Hopland, Ca. It was a beautiful log cabin, but lots of maintenance to keep beautiful.
Have a beautiful day!!!! :)

I just finally had a chance to read about all of your adventures! They look so fun! I'm so glad you have a wonderful trip.

I would absolutely love to visit Vancouver - we are actually heading out to Seattle in september, but it is kind of a short trip, so I'm bummed we won't be able to take a side trip up there. :(
