St. Patrick's Day!

This St. Patrick's Day, I went green! No, not environmental green, but I actually participated in the whole wearing of green festivities and I loved it! It was so cool to see so many people wearing green all in the same day - for some reason I never really payed much attention to this day, until this year.

I even went last night and bought special green nail polish, eye shadow and flip flops to be ready for today.

As it would turn out, this St. Patrick's Day marked another first for me - today I actually accomplished a long time dream of mine - to set up at the Gulf Breeze flea market as a vendor! A friend and I sat in the sun all day, barely making our table rent back on sales. The money we did make, we turned around and spent buying items from other vendors - but we loved it! - The whole process of buying and selling, the marketplace atmosphere - I feel hooked!

You also meet the most interesting people at flea markets. We had quite a few kind and interesting neighboring vendors that kept things interesting during the lulls in traffic.

The night ended with dinner at Outback, which was quite a treat. Across the street was a jammed packed McGuires - all kinds of people rounding out this sunny St. Patrick's Day at a this wildly popular Irish restaurant. All of that craziness seemed a bit much for me, I felt festive enough wearing so much green!
