A Return to Renegade Craft Fair LA!!!

Lots of exciting things have been happening for me & Le Petit Elefant. The craft tour has been absolutely wonderful thus far and this weekend marks the 1 year anniversary of my craft fair adventures. What better way to celebrate than sharing a booth with {Paper & Type} at the fair that started it all, Renegade Craft Fair in LA State Historic Park in Chinatown!

There will be the usual backdrop of food trucks, a free photobooth, drinks (both the rated G & fun kind), and workshops galore as well as 200+ unbelievably talented artists, crafters, jewelers, you name it. Don't let the closing of the 405 fwy get you down--hop on a bike or a car full of folks and head on down. It'll be a great time. Victoria & I have also been hard at work putting together a SNEAK PEAK to our 2012 calendar. Plus, you can meet our amazing intern, Jaclyn :)

Renegade Craft Fair SF

What perfect timing! I drove up to the bay area for a wedding & it happened to be the same weekend as Renegade Craft Fair SF. I must say it was lovely to be there as a visitor and not a vendor, but dang, I would love to be a vendor there. Hands down, best venue for a craft fair ever. It's so open & breezy but without the wind. It's well lit and you don't need a tent. So great.

I have photobooth pics from 3 RCFs this year. I have to find the BK one.. it's somewhere. But it's funny because I have something I've made in each one. Shameless promotion ;)

mmmmmmmm... hopefully I'll be there in December!

Born at the Fair

This is what happens when you run out of googly eyes at a fair...
credit goes to brendan for the save!
let me know if you're interested in the whale... he still needs a home.

Renegade Craft Fair Day 2

Because I sold my tin can pillow set & oh hi pillow, I had to do some major redesign on my table. Cabinet of Curiosities to the rescue!! It was a lovely addition and never fell once despite the strong winds. I hated telling people it wasn't for sale... I'm still quite attached to it! It was a very productive day: I sewed three whales (two of 'em are now with new families!) and finally found the time to leave the booth to explore. Hoorah!Sunday is Kids Day! Lots 'n lots of families today, just as Margaret of Paper Pastries told Victo & I on Saturday. It was so much fun! I loved all the kids running & sifting through here:
to find a friend. And all the babies laughing & pointing at my mobile:
spinning in the wind. We geeked out with our neighbors:
about scott pilgrim. YES! The folks later came, relieved us of our duties and fed us with delicious pasta, dried apples, chocolate covered ginger, and kettle corn. They entertained us from afar with their frisbee playing & kite flying.
Kevin gets points for staying there for helping set up & staying for the whole day. Brendan gets points for us finally meeting, haha.
Perhaps not the most flattering picture of me, but I think it accurately describes how I felt at the end of the two days... pooped yet happily proud! Mission accomplished! (still trying to figure out who took that picture of me on my own phone, haha)
