You know how 20 years ago you found this tortilla chip platter with the little bowl in the center for salsa you'd never seen anywhere else before that year's visit to the venerable Laguna Canyon arts and crafts knick-knack festival? And how the price was just right and you loved your tortilla chip platter with the little bowl in the center for salsa so much that you went back year after year in search of an equally cool find? And then how everything seemed to jump in price, like 1,468 percent, at some point? But how, with that tortilla chip platter with the little bowl in the center for salsa still in your mind, you kept going back every year anyway, every year leaving empty-handed. Yeah, there's nothing like paying seven bucks to go walk around in circles looking at crap—and that's what it mostly is, crap—that you can in no way afford to buy. Well that tortilla chip platter with the little bowl in the center for salsa broke in an unfortunate dishwashing accident many moons ago. Thank God now you can get them on the cheap at Target. 935 Laguna Canyon Rd., Laguna Beach, (949) 494-3030; www.sawdustartfestival.org. Winter Fantasy begins Nov. 18. Open weekends, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Through Dec. 10.
