Hey everyone!
Yesterday, I attended the Montclair Film Festival in Montclair, NJ. There were a few street fairs in celebration of the film festival. Several vendors lined Glenridge Avenue (GLAM!- Glenridge Ave Merchants), selling their goodies. I was excited to see many of them selling handmade and/or natural products. Because my camera died, I had to use my camera phone. Thank God for it! Here are some of the vendors...
