This past weekend, our friend Chris (who along with hubby Dan is relocating to Englewood FL) and I went to the Centennial Park Art & Craft Fair. While I’ve gone to the big annual Art Fest and some of the smaller fairs held on Venice and Miami Avenues throughout the year, this was the first fair I’d gone to at Centennial. The weekly farmer’s market now includes crafts but is on a much smaller scale than this fair. Centennial Park provided a nice venue, with its curvilinear design and the shade provided by the canopy of live oaks and other trees.
There were about 50 vendors in attendance, with plenty of jewelry,
pottery,
scented oils and soaps, and art using various media available. There were even a few vendors offering orchids and other air plants as well as desert roses.
There was a good turnout, and as always at public events, it was fun to people watch. And, in Florida, we sometimes enjoy critter watching, like this pet iguana.
Here are some more photos. Enjoy!
