Well, dang – I went to the Handmade NW Spring Artisans Fair this morning, and got so involved in buying and chatting, I forgot to take more pictures. So this one isn’t so great – sorry. All those crowds you see? There are excellent vendors behind them.
K. and I acquired a number of charming Mother’s Day gifts – but further details will be suppressed, in the best interests of two particular readers of this blog.
The fair is happening tomorrow as well, locals, from 10-5. It’s at OHSU’s Center for Health and Healing – a gorgeous space, and you can take the Portland Streetcar right to the front door. And if you’re so inclined, the tram’s right next door.
Lots of talented locals are there, including Scrumptious Suds, Littleput Books, Leah’s Glass Creations, and Eye Pop Art. Stop by and say Howdy!
. . . In the interest of adding a more compelling photo, check out these fabulous dancing men we saw on Pioneer Square on the way over. They were clacking those sticks together and singing away. No idea who they were, or why they were dancing on the square. But aren’t they awesome?
Oooh! Thanks for posting this. I work on the hill, this will make for a great diversion and long lunch :)

OOOH! I know those guys! Aren’t they great? They’re Morris Dancers, and I’m fishing in my memory for the name of their group and totally coming up blank. All I get is, “There’s David, in the background, and Hal and Charlie, facing us. Is that last dancer Hugo? Hmmm.”
I love the stick dances the best!

I was going to say that they were Morris Dancers too – was it on May Day because here in the UK it’s a traditional time for Morris Dancers!

Ok, so some other folks beat to it, but in my head, I was screaming “Morris Dancers! They’re Morris Dancers! Pick me! Pick me!”
