Had a great time at the Peace Market held by Esperanza Peace & Justice Center. La Raza!! I rode my bike there because the weather was so nice today and I would say they had a wonderful turn-out. Everything was so unique and had a story. So did many of the artists. I made 3 purchases that I was happy to spend money on:
The top left is called Reina de Esperanza by Perla (I can’t remember her last name right now). She had a Reina collection and another one of my favorites was called Reina de Picasso which had a bunch of different pieces make up her face. Everything was so colorful and was made from recycled materials. She told me she shows at other craft fairs frequently so I’ll have to check her out in the future.
The photo on the bottom right is a close up of a photograph I bought from Jorge Sandoval. It’s a photo of a mural that’s on the Westside of town. I probably could’ve gone down and taken the picture myself but he had a lot of great shots of San Antonio and was really nice.
My third purchase was a handmade apron shown here. So cute and I wore it for half the day after I bought it for no reason. Pretty excited about that purchase! The other two pictures are just of the event and the Esperanza Center. I should have brought my Nikon because I often forget that going to these unique events you see a lot of interesting people. Vendors and shoppers alike. I had fun today.
