FRG Community at Sarasota's Atomic Holiday Bazaar

Sarasota saw an impressive turnout at the second annual Atomic Holiday Bazaar. $5 got you a pink wristband and entry into the techno-filled municipal auditorium transformed into half-club/half-mall, indie style. I felt like I had come a long way since my elementary school's holiday bazaar....no more 5-cent rings that turn your fingers green......Every single crafty item you could conceive could be found, and enough variety in vendors and prices that you could find something in your range. I bought a pair of earrings with tiny brass gears stuck to wood-carvings. I also got a pack of hand-made christmas cards, more interesting and unique than anything found in a store. Not to mention soy scented-candle tarts. And don't forget the bags, hats, makeup, jewelry, baby & momma items, art in every medium: photography, paintings, prints, t-shirts...you name it, the Bazaar had it.
