eat make read

Oh boy. We made our annual trip to the renegade craft fair last weekend. It was the first time I’ve been to it when it’s held in the McCarren Park Pool, rather than the park, and I think I like it better. It’s hard to explain the kind of joy I get when I go to an event like this. It makes me so incredibly happy to see people doing and making things they love, which in turn make so many other people happy. Everything is unique and beautiful and special.

Some of my favorite booths were Twee, where I picked up a pair of earrings and a brooch. I have a major soft spot for wooden jewelry. I also picked up some super fun wooden acorns from something’s hiding in here. I’m not sure what to do with them yet, I just love the way they look. Another favorite was Sian Keegan with her stuffed dog portraits… I have to wait until Maude is a little bigger to get one, but I can’t wait.

I also picked up a poster that I’ll do a separate post about.. but let’s just say it’s pretty dang inspiring.
