I went to the Renegade Craft fair in the late afternoon on Sunday… and it started pouring as soon as I got there. Not just rain, but strong wind and stormy craziness — I guess there was a tornado warning! So I have missed lots of shops who decided to close earlier… :( but in 30 minutes, it was hot and sunny again, though, I was a bit bummed. Bizarre weather!
Well, I still saw lots of great handmade products, I was inspired by some of the booth/display designs, and enjoyed shopping. Took some photos to share — enjoy!
Great posters and kitchen towels by Claudia Pearson:
Awesome Brooklyn poster and t-shirts: (I just can’t locate who this is by — does anyone know?)
Miniature Rhino booth — I’ve been a fan of their work, their booth was so awesome!
Cute leather alphabet rings by Lucky Me Beads:
Loved their display ideas.
Speaking of display ideas, Queens Metal used vintage wooden boxes and oil can tops, I thought it was so cool.
Another cool display idea by the Hand of Fatima Design — using old books as earring stands:
oh hi!
These jewelries by Cursive Design are so great, caught my eye for sure.
and I loved these handmade illustrated prints by Virginia Kraljevic!
Great chalk board and hand written price board:
and last but not least, loved the usage of woods throughout their work and displays via Timber!
I didn’t take photos of ALL the things I saw, but there were many many more… Cheers to all the artists!! I’m glad I made it even in the crazy weather and be able to support handmade!!
I’m so sad that I didn’t make it to the fair! Originally I was thinking I would go on Sunday, but as my wallet has nothing but dust in it I decided not to tempt myself with things I couldn’t buy. But I’m sort of glad I missed the storm warnings! I feel bad for all the vendors who worked so hard and had to pack up early because of the weather :(
