Many thanks to all of you who came out on Saturday as visitors (and/or vendors!) of Felt Club! We know it was CRAZY hot outside, so you ROCK for hanging in there and toughing it out. It was a wacky weekend since a) It was a holiday week, b) The Lotus Festival was going on, and c) It was frigging HOT, but everyone seemed to have fun and that's the most important part. Many of our vendors reported that those who braved the sun were in a spendy mood—several said they made more money at this one than the last go-round. Guess you never can tell!

Anyway, I think the beach umbrellas we distributed helped somewhat since this time nobody seemed to get sunburned, while at the first event I came home looking like a Boston Baked Bean. But yeah...entirely too warm for this pasty-white Irish girl. Hope you all had fun regardless.

By the way, the pic above (taken by our fantabulous webmistress Linda) shows the cupcakes donated to Felt Club by previous vendor Cathy of California. They were a definite crowd favorite...I mean, just look at the hilarious felt cupcake toppers she made! All the Bake Shoppe contributions kicked major ass, and our hotsy-totsy volunteers Wendy and Helen kept everyone laughing with their witty (and often raunchy) banter. The cold drinks they doled out didn't hurt, either.

Felt Club will be back for Round #4 on August 12 and the deadline to apply is Wednesday, July 12. We have been suh-wamped with applications, some of our best potential vendors yet! The full list will be unveiled on Monday of next week. Please note that this will be our last outdoor show (and our last show at Meltdown). So please come help us go out with a bang!

(Oh and in case that last bit made it sound like Felt Club is ending in August...au contraire! We'll be right back in the saddle come September with a NEW schedule—Second Sundays—and a killer new venue. Full details in a bit!)
