What a day yesterday! We travelled to Austin for my second LNY Festival (4th annual overall) hosted by Pei and Kathy . Last time I was here at the very first LNY festival, we were *literally* moved to tears with the sheer size of the crowd that came out to support Asian businesses and take part in our culture and traditions…
Somehow, this festival had an even bigger crowd to where I don’t think we had breathing room until late, late afternoon. Wow! Thank you everyone who came out and supported all the amazing artists, activity and food vendors, and performances. This has been one of my top 5 selling markets! Thank you everyone who stopped by my booth, shared with the very awesome Benh of You are such a vibrant, happy energy! It was also so good to also put faces to names of other vendors who I only have had an IG relationship with prior. I know these circles run small and I’m not always the most open person 😅 but thank you always for the acceptance regardless!
It was a lot for us to travel with baby in tow, but I can’t thank my parents enough for accompanying us to help watch Julian and involve him in all the festivities ❤️ how fun this is to be able to bring him in on all the traditions.
