In Boise, Idaho the city has a First Thursday tradition. The art galleries downtown are all open and serve cheese, wine, cookies and other assorted goodies--all free. J, my wife, makes all sorts of things from fabric that people might buy and has a site on the ETSY website. That is a site where you may purchase handmade items from people around the world. Those who market on ETSY get together once in awhile, like first Thursday and display their items for sale. They have space provide at the Pioneer Tent and Awning Building on Fifth and Main which is pretty well the heart of downtown Boise. I have pictures.
The last two pictures show J set up with her various items displayed. She sold several items with the biggest purchases made as she was taking down at the end of the evening.
The second to last set of two pictures shows the Pioneer Tent and Awning Building.
The fourth picture is the Basque Center and is looking towards the Basque block.
The third picture is one of the original movie theaters in Boise called the Egyptian Theater. It has been completely restored. Some movies are still shown there plus some live entertainment. It is where J and I went to see The Godfather when it first came out.
The first picture is Boise's City Hall.
And today's bonus picture is that of a yellow breasted fly catcher. Click on picture to see this stately ariel artist in close up format. Fly catcher family returns every year to help us with mosquitos and other flying bugs that like to bug us.
Bugs--beware of the fly catcher swooping down from the heavens to end your pesky existence on earth. Yea! Go fly catcher. You the Man!!! or Woman!!! as the case may be.
Got to Go,
