Nick & I spent our weekend at the LA Craft Experience, which was held during the Chinese New Year celebration in Chinatown! We didn't get to see much of the festivities but it was fun hanging out and eating from lots of the food trucks.
Nick took these shots, I love his photos ;)
On Sunday before we headed back to the event, we went to Melrose Trading Post, which is held every Sunday in LA. They had a ton of stuff.. I got a duck gumball machine and a set of brass penguins for about $25.
Are food trucks big in your area? They've pretty much exploded in LA. They have a food truck for every food you can think of! I tried pattywagon hamburgers, it was the best mini burger I've ever had. Yum. I want one right now!
So that was my weekend, I totally forgot to take a picture of Nick & I together. How was your weekend? Be back tomorrow with more good cheer and regular posts. It's not too late to get the good cheer deal from K is for Calligraphy! It's open to international friends too! Happy Monday friends.
what a fun weekend! Chinese New Year is my favorite time of the year. and yes, food trucks are HUGE in San Francisco. anything under the sun that you can think of! my favorite is a chicken tikka masala burrito!

ReplyDeleteDanni, how are you? gosh those succulents in the bulbs are just adorable. looks like you had a fab weekend friend. xo Liss
ReplyDeletefood trucks don't exist here in the south! well, at least where i am and if they have them i haven't seen one. i would love the opportunity to try the nom nom food truck after following them on tv. maybe when we go back to CA this summer we'll make the drive down to So Cal and hopefully try out a food truck the nom nom one would be my first choice.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Food trailers are huge right now in Austin. It seems like there's one for every single kind of food or dessert you can imagine. It's so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDanni, so funny. Melrose Trading Post is where I went to high school :) Used to volunteer there! Hehe
