Fun at the Last Thursday!

On the last Thursday of the month... we always go to the Last Thursday celebration on Alberta Street in NE Portland. It is a flipping blast! There are so many artisans selling their wares full of so much creativity and of such large proportions it is amazing. The street fills up with people and it honestly feels kind of like either a huge block party or a New Orleans Mardi Gras (and yes we have been to New Orleans to be able to make a party comparison!) :)

There are vendors selling: food, clothing, jewelry, candles, artwork, Cd's, books, furniture, and more! The list is literally endless. So much to see... no time to see it all! We try to take turns walking around to be able to window shop and people watch... there are a serious amount of different types of people there to take a look at we tell you... We love the diversity!

We decided to bring our camera this last time to capture the moment. Check out our pics above!

Meet up with us at the September Last Thursday! It will be on Thursday, September 25th!
