June 2, 2013 is going down in the books as an awesome day! The Patchwork
Show at Marine Stadium in Long Beach, CA exceeded my expectations. I thought it
was going to be a couple of booths that local business owners would set up on
the water and sell their goods. No…no..no.. I met vendors from all over the
South Bay, SoCal and even some traveled down from San Francisco! It was so
amazing to see over 100 small business owners display their craft. Every single
product sold at the event was either from a small business or non-profit. The
food trucks and tents were delightful! I shared a brick oven margarita pizza
and a porker sandwich. (We ate the pizza to fast before I could get a picture
of it. Ha!) Delish!

I can’t wait until the next Patchwork Show! Good News!!! Patchwork is having an edible version coming soon to Costa Mesa, CA. This
annual food summit aims to please the foodies of SoCal on Oct 5-6th. There will
be local businesses, visionary chefs, food authors, food bloggers, handmade
craft vendors, and food artisans. For two days everyone will be eating,
learning, tasting and shopping food!
I can’t wait!
I will definitley be there wondering the isles in search of delicious food and
tasty treats. Meanwhile, if you have a question about real estate, home mortgages, or which booth has the
best food, let us know!
See you there!
