Some of my favorite stories from this weekend include...
- 11 year old boy who has a big dream to become an architect totally fell in love with the Brass collection at The Venice Meet... He wanted everything from the collection... but his mom suggested to put the "wish" to his birthday list. At the end, he invested his allowance to get a first set of Brass Pencil and a Pencil Refill. We shook hand at the end and I wished the best to his dream to become an architect. I know he can hold onto this pencil as long as his dream blossoms...
- A sweet couple came by our booth... A lovely wife was really interested in Michael Sans Berlin Shoulder Bag I was carrying as my "portable cash register". At very end of the day her husband secretly came back and got the bag for her as a surprise 3 year wedding anniversary gift. I just know... that she would keep the bag for a very very long time and cherish it as a special artifact that holds a lifelong meaning...
- Alex who was my booth neighbor at the Rose Bowl Flea Market (yeah... he and his friend were the one who were selling the vinyl record and DVDs next to our booth in the below photo. They kept our booth very happy with some fun music!) got his first set of Traveler's Notebook to write journal letters to his 3-year-old son... EVERYDAY. He really liked that he could use the Archive Binder to keep all the journals in one place... so his son can someday read what it was like to be his papa.
