Happy Friday! We have officially moved our Mad Mochi Apparel shopping site on Etsy. Check it out!

Summer time means a lot of different things to the to each and everyone of us. Here are some interesting quotes about summer that have given me a few chuckles:

"The summer air is here so get your dress on and dance around like no one cares."

"These tans will fade, but the memories will last forever."

"Life is sweeter in flip flops."

"Summer's not hot till we show up."

"The sunburn isn't as painful when we're together."

This past Saturday July 28, 2012, 626 Night Market held it's second event at the City Hall in Pasadena. Although Mad Mochi did not have a vendor booth this time around, we certainly jumped in on the fun, food, entertainment, and ultimate Asian night market experience. There were many complaints about the past first event being overly crowded and many people not being to purchase any food at all. This time, I'd say it was quite a success. Not only was parking easier to find, but the 626 Night Market volunteer staff made sure to control the customer lines which also prevented any walking traffic jams. There were a ton more vendors and lots of delicious variety of food. Overall, the night market experience, although not exactly the same as the ones in Asia, definitely exceeded our expectations.

We loved the caramelized spam bread budding. Yum!

Our dear friends Alice and Doris from iLootPaperie have been showcasing their ridiculously fun and cute greeting card designs at the local NativeLA flea markets in Los Angeles three times a year. They are what you call lean mean card-making machines. We've been telling them that we'd stop by for how long now, and we finally kept our word this past Sunday at the NativeLA Summer Roof Party. Here are some photos from our weekend adventure.
