May 2nd 2008. I had a blast being part of Olympia's First Friday events this last weekend. Einmaleins, hosted Hatched Egg'rs (http://www.hatchedeggrs.com/), a great local company making Stuff for Kids Rooms.
Scott from Hatched Egg'rs created some really cool animalcharacters he custom prints on wall hangings and on Toy Boxes made out of reclaimed wood. It was a fun event, lots of great people I met. I wish I could travel in a cool box like that, rather than that serious box i usually get pushed around in.
One conversation that night really made me dream of being back home: We talked about raising chickens in the backyard. What a great idea - I love eggs, and what better way of using your backyard, engaging your Kids. Oh and it's sustainable too - the only problem are the wild animals around here... they like chickens too, but for complete different reasons, bummer. |
