How are you spending your lazy Sunday? 🌿✨

🎂 FREE CUPCAKES FOR STEVE’S BIRTHDAY! 🎂

Please join us on Saturday, July 25, for a very Funky celebration of one of Idyllwild’s most excellent humans: Steve Moulton!

Steve is far more than just the KEEPER OF BOOKS, BAZAARS & IDYLLBEASTS…

He is our friend, confidant, champion, and an essential part of the story that kept The Funky Bazaar alive. By giving this strange little wonderland a home, Steve also helped provide a home for local artists, independent businesses, creative dreamers, and the community that gathers around them.

In other words: WE LOVE STEVE!

Come wish him a Happy Birthday, tell your favorite Steve stories, explore Bubba’s Books—also known as The Cave—and the Idyllbeast Research Center + all three floors of The Funky Bazaar, and enjoy a complimentary cupcake while supplies last. 🧁✨

🎉 STEVE’S BIRTHDAY BAZAAR
📅 Saturday, July 25, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
📍 The Funky Bazaar & Bubba’ Books
54875 N. Circle Drive, Idyllwild CA
At the Top of the Town

No purchase necessary. Cupcakes available while supplies last.

Know someone who knows and loves Steve? Please share this invitation and help us fill his birthday card with messages from across Idyllwild!

Tell us your favorite Steve stories… I first met Steve when…

💛 Fun Fact: A Friendship That Built the Bazaar
Did you know that The Funky Bazaar’s founder, Peter Buhl, and Steve Moulton were best friends?

When Steve purchased the property, he invited Peter to open a storefront right beside his own. That is how The Funky Bazaar and Steve’s **Bubba’s Books AKA The Cave** came to stand side by side.

More than neighboring businesses, the two storefronts became a reflection of Peter and Steve’s kindred-spirit friendship: two wonderfully unconventional spaces created by two friends. That bond is also part of the reason Steve has continued to keep The Funky Bazaar under his wing, helping preserve Peter’s vision and the creative community it has welcomed for so many years.
