Festival Purchase

We picked up a couple of quirky little pieces of artwork at the Festival. Some very creative woman used sardine cans as the medium for her work. It's hard to tell in these pictures but the hearts and flowers are actually 3D and lacquered into the tin cans. The designs reminded us of old sailors tattoos.





Anyway, our home feels a little funkier now that we have rubbish hanging up on the wall. :)

Surry Hills Festival

Here are a few photos of Surry Hills Festival.

Stalls as far as the camera can see

An incredibly energetic and loud band at 11am.

Another band - no idea who they were

An electronica band/dj - again, no idea who they are.

As you might have guessed, I have no idea who the above bands are but they were pretty good. We had hoped to see Blue Juice but we got the set time wrong, and sunburn was starting to set in so we missed it.

On this day of eating, T and I shared a large plate of food from the Hari Krishna stall. It was very nice... for vegetarian food.

I ♥ festivals

You know that summer is coming when Sydney fairs and festivals start up. So far in the past 1.5 months, there've been:

• Marrickville Festival (a community/suburb street festival full of community/political/shopping/food stalls)


• Feastability (Food and Wine festival in Newtown)


• Surry Hills Festival (another community/suburb festival)


• Sydney Art & About (art installations around the CBD)


• Night Noodle Markets (Sydney Good Food Month)

And coming up are:

• Danks Street Fair (Sydney Good Food Month)
  
• Sydney Food and Wine Fair (Sydney Good Food Month)


• Newtown Festival (community/suburb festival)


• Sydney Festival (Sydney cultural events)

When these festivals roll around, you can be sure of one thing... Gözleme!!! As I have mentioned in my blog that doesn't exist any more, gözleme is this turkish pastry/bread that you can't seem to get anywhere else except at stalls at festivals. I've managed to stay away from them so far but there's still plenty of opportunity to be tempted by them. Either way, it sounds like I'm going to be eating my way through summer.
