Going to the Strawberry Festival!!

Retro Strawberries on Turquoise by dolcechic

Hello! My name is Gwendolyn Garcia, also known as Etsy shop owner, GwendolynForever. As most Californians know it is that time of year again... spring time faires, music fests, and best of all, Strawberry Festivals! Celebrated all over the state, from Southern to Northern California. These festivals usually take place in coastal cities and towns that are heavily involved with growing and harvesting, and are ecologically and geographically suited with the ideal growing conditions for these most delicious of berries. Strawberries are Beautiful! Pretty, ruby red fruits that are the perfect combination of sweet, juicy, and tangy, and whose image always seems to bring to mind a wholesome yet sassy, all-American way of life. Strawberries are California's seventh most valuable fruit crop. Approximately 12% of California's strawberry crops are exported to Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Japan.

The following items were found using the keywords, "CCCOE Team", "Strawberry", and "Red". Please click on the images and links to see the featured shops in more detail... Enjoy! Getting Dolled Up for the Strawberry Festival: Most Strawberry Festivals have a myriad of things to do. You can listen to live music from local bands, enjoy delicious food from your favorite local vendors, partake in Strawberry themed desserts and beverages, and enjoy the spectacle of child-friendly arts and crafts, clothe and jewelry vendors, art shows, and people watching. But before you do, you'll want to doll yourself up it bit- its always more fun to be the belle of the Strawberry Festival! 1950's Rockabilly Swing Dress by LuckyZelda This amazing swing dress was made with a vintage inspired pattern and vintage floral fabric.
