Truckit Fest Recap

There is lots running through my mind this morning. The weekend was a whirlwind of food, family, friends, and fun. Here is a quick recap/photo heavy post about the truckit fest.

Truck it was an interesting event. Maybe I'm looking at it through vendor's eyes, maybe because it was their first event and there were some kinks to iron out, but let's just say it was interesting. Anyway, onto the fun stuff!

The food truck selection and the amount of food trucks there was amazing. We ate some favorites and sampled some new trucks!


Chunk-n-Chip. Their cookies come straight from the oven and are packed with natural ice cream. The warm/cold balance is great.


Moo-lan Rouge: red velvet and white chocolate fudge ice cream.


Fresh Fries. I love all things potato and this truck was definitely a must-try.


Stinky Pinky fries. Natural fries topped with grilled onion and thousand island dressing.


Jogasaki! Sushi in burrito form! This was my fave of the day.


The size of a burrito, ours was wrapped in rice paper and full of spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, avocado, crab, and rice. It was amaaaazing!!

The vendor area was packed with lots of talented artisans. I met a few I loved!


Lok'd. Custom made lego jewelry! Look out for a blog about this company later in the week. I'm in love with them.


Quiet Doing. Hand made accessories, vegan friendly, great designs.


Royalistique was our booth neighbor. The contemporary silver, gold, and platinum designs were so chic. And Roya was super cool, gave great advice, and was fun to chat with all day.


The honey my heart booth. I went with a minty green and lavender color scheme.


Necklaces and bracelets.


Earrings and rings.


Husband and bro.


Lovely people stopped. My cousin Nicole of dans les details and Megan.


My hs bff Kathy :)

Also met Carly - The Less Than Domestic Goddess and a few great customers who passed through my last booth at LACE. I really appreciate the support!

The architecture in the main concourse was amazing.






And everyone from Homeboy Industries were so helpful all day :)

Hope you all have a lovely week.

Great seeing you this weekend. Seeing your food pics makes me wish I had braved more of the lines at the food trucks. Although I did get to sample buffalo mac 'n cheese with bleu cheese (amazing) and a salt n' vinegar tornado potato (also amazing).

Wow, it looks like that was a LOT of fun. I wish I could have made it up there. I'm hoping to go to Uniquela. I'm loving your new pieced, by the way :)
P.S. Have you ever considered doing some in silver? I'm one of those weird people who don't wear gold. But, I love your pieces so I give them to my friends :)
