Fairhaven Steampunk Festival 2016: Mr. Flip's Carnival of Wonder & Curiosities

First off I want to say sorry it took me so long to put this up for everyone and that I have not posted since May of this year.

But anyway...How many of you know about the wonders of steam and the wonders it brought to the world? Well I know you all know that it has come back with a newly found energy with the new generation and the Steampunk Area has taken over... Well in my home state of Washington there is a city not to far from mine (when I say not far its like an hour walk or a fifteen min bus ride) call Fairhaven and every year they put on a festival for this wonderful time in our history.

So this year my daughter and I got dressed up to go just by putting some things we had together and hoped it looked okay...lol

And the work people put into their outfits and the crafts they do make me proud to be apart of something so awesome and I will be posting links to some of the vinders at the end of the large amount of images...lol I hope you enjoy the images as much as I had taking them

This what our outfits looked like don't we just look absolutely fetching...lol

Even pets where getting into the fashion too ( and yes he could see his owners removed the lenses so he could see better)

A nice group of people who where willing to pose for the blog page...lol

I took their picture because of my daughter " Look Mommy it's Grandma and Grandpa Steam!" ( It took me some time to stop dying of laughter to ask them for a photo) 

Yes that's my daughter in the background with her gun...lol

These kids were awesome and I thank their parents for letting me take their picture "THANKS AGAIN YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME PARENTS!"

Here are some pictures of the vinders who where there

So there was a both there that I spent a lot of money and time at a Face painting both the girls where dressed as fairies and their work is awesome well do take my work for it look for yourself

My daughter wanted a corset on her face it looked amazing

These last two are not their art work but I thought they where beautiful and asked the lovely lady if I could put them up on my blog and she said sure

And now for the song of the day

New Kiosk in Bellis Fair Mall...Trayvax

Hey one and all

It's your friendly neighborhood feline here... and I wanted to tell you about something that caught my eye while walking through my local mall...Bellis Fair Mall

It was a little Kiosk with no name posted anywhere but it had this display

So I had to go and see what they where...the closer I got the more and more they looked like those tags you find on your suitcase...lol...silly I know right, but the younge man that was sitting there asked "What do you think they are?"

I said "They are I.D. Tags." and he smiled and told me what they really were

"Wallets." he said

"What you have got to be kidding."

He just smiled and then proceeded to show me how the "wallet" worked and I was amazed!

Constructed with just two components, the Trayvax Summit is a minimalist wallet designed to carry just what you need. Light weight and low profile it won't slow you down from making it to the top. (yes I took it word for word from the little paper that came with the wallet)

But come on it holds 8 cards, a money clip, a lanyard hole (yeah so people like me can't lose it !) Oh and a key slot!!!

They have four different kinds of wallets...here they are!!!

Trayvax Axis - First Edition - Tumbled Stainless

This beauty is designed to fit 1-14 cards and 1-8 bills it is 4.15 Inches in length, it is a whopping 2.5 Inches in width and is only 0.5 Inches thick!

The ORIGINAL is designed to fit 3-14 cards and 1-5 bills, for increased capacity check out our High-Roller Extended Strap for those of you who need to have a little more cards/money (lol) again it is only 4.5 Inches in length and 2.8 Inches in width and here it comes that beautiful 0.5 Inches in thickness...every time I see that it makes me smile :D

Last but not least the sweet thing I get to test drive THE!!!

Summit

The Summit is the ultimate slim wallet, designed with the serious minimalist in mind. Made from just two components - the cold rolled steel plate and a length of mil-spec nylon webbing - this sleek, low-profile wallet is the definition of essential. (Again I took what the maker said because I could not have said it better myself!) Since it is only a steel frame all it has is a strap in five different colors

Stone Grey

Shadow Black

OD Green (this is the one I got!)

Forest Camo

Coyote Brown

Designed to fit 1-8 cards and 1-5 bills. Now the length is 3.75 Inches, the width is 2.75 Inches and the thickness get this is only 0.375 inches! Yes Ladies and Gentlemen this is the smaller of the wallets...lol 

Now that you have seen all the wallet let me make on thing clear...These wonderful wallets are made here in the U.S.A. right here in the city I live in and by buying these wallets you will be helping people by making jobs for them...the bigger they get the more jobs there will be.

If you would like to see the wallets better then what I have up go to their website http://www.trayvax.com/

They have a lot more stuff for you to see, accessories and media about the wallets...and you can find them on all your favorite media pages Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube

And I want to say one more thing...I want to say thanks to Mark King for making these wallets...I can say one thing I am loving mine already :D 

This is you friendly neighborhood feline Vorel Kethend signing off... 

Goodnight...

DID YOU THINK I WOULD FORGET!!!
