Here’s a street view of the Renegade Craft Fair.  It took me about three hours or so to weave my way around both rows of tents.  There were just so many fabulous things to look at!  Plus it was pretty crowded.

I discovered my friend Mandi of Squeaky Queen had a tent at the fair.  (Aren’t her hat & apron darling?)  Mandi recently quit her day job to persue Squeaky Queen full time!  Her soaps & perfumes are so well-rounded…they bring together visual, verbal, & tactile art & her love of quality ingredients & good perfumery.

I love these journals made from recycled books by Overdue Industries.    The outside is the book cover, and there are blank pages and book pages throughout the journal.

Finally, for an honorable mention, I didn’t get pics but grabbed a business card for Catia Chien, Her fine art prints are deep, thoughtful, and somewhat other-worldly.  I can’t help but wonder what’s going on in the characters’ lives.

The only problem for me at the craft fair was shopping.  See, we left our car home and depended entirely on public transportation and walking.  So everything I bought we needed to be able to carry on our long commute back to the Amtrak train station, along with our bags, Ian & his stroller.  Needless to say, we didn’t buy much, and by the end of the trip we were even looking through our bags for things we could leave behind!
