Random yet awesome

I don't know that this really even needs a caption :)

This Saturday is Bazzart at the American Visionary Art Museum!! I'm so super excited. Mainly for some of my favorite Etsy sellers and also for Brunie's Bakery!!Clearly vegan baked goods get me every time.

If you live near Baltimore I highly recommend stopping by!

Have a great tofurky day :)

Happy Birthday Lily!

Today Lily turns 2! I can hardly believe I've had her for almost 2 years. We celebrated her birthday yesterday, since today is a work day. We started off the day by going to Petsmart so she could pick out a toy. She settled on a pink alligator stuffed toy and a bone. Then when we got home she went across the street and played with Minnie (a year old beagle mix). Next I made Lily's cake from a recipe I got out of the It's A Vegan Dog's Life cookbook.

I gave Lily a piece, which she clearly loved, and then my roommates gave Lily the presents they got for her. She loved them both too! Needless to say, after such a busy day, she was exhausted and ready for bed early!

I hope everyone had a great weekend :)

Bazaart

I was lucky enough to get to Bazaart at The American Visionary Art Museum yesterday and it was great! The highlights for me were:

1. Getting amazing vegan baked goods from Brunie's Bakery. The owner is so sweet (no pun intended :)) and the baked goods are seriously out of this world.

2. Finally meeting Lori from Loriola in person

3. Finding this amazing artist. I got four of her greeting cards and

already know I am going to have a hard time parting with them to mail to friends!

Have a great week!

Etsy Teams!!!

I joined two Etsy teams yesterday!! I am so excited!

The first team is EtsyVeg. I have been following this blog for a few months now, and I am so honored to now be a part of the team! Growing up in a pretty rural area, it could be tough to find like minded people, but having a group like this really helps me renew my beliefs and reassures me I'm not the only one out there!

The second team is The Dachshund Team. Of course my dachshund, Lily, is a huge part of my life (she makes sure of it!) so it only seemed natural to join this team as well.

Please check out their sites!

And thank you to everyone on both teams for already making me feel so welcome :)

DC VegFest

On Saturday Karim and I went to the DC VegFest.! It was smaller than I thought, but it was still a lot of fun. There were tons of non-profits there all handing out free literature. There were some clothing vendors with cute pro-veggie shirts. And then of course there was a plethora of vegan food! There was a Falafel Shop, that was one of the most popular stand. There was Indian food and a vegan pizza stand too. And then there was my favorite, the dessert stands! I got a vegan brownie to eat there, then washed it down with some lemonade.

Sadly we got there too late to see the vegan bodybuilder speak, and we left before one of the authors from Skinny Bitch did, but at least we got to see a little bit of a cooking demo. After we were there for about an hour, it got really cloudy and windy, so we opted to head back to the metro so we didn't get caught in a downpour.

The longest line at any stand was definitely for the bakery Vegan Treats. After taking a mini cake home with me, I knew why. Sadly they are located about 3 hours away from me in Pennsylvania, but Karim and I already decided we would make the trip one day! Go check out their creative and adorable website to see their wonderful baked goods, and if you get the chance, visit them! It's worth it for sure!! I had their peanut butter cake, and it was seriously amazing. Who needs animal products?? :)
