treasures!
this weekend chicago played host to my all-time favorite event…the renegade craft fair! and this years event was extra special as my roommate krissy and her shop earth cadets made their renegade debut!
what a good looking booth! way to go earth cadets!
i, of course, bought tons of a stuff there…including supplies for a new home decor project. let’s take a look…
yes…that’s my bathroom floor. i get the best light in there. don’t judge.
clockwise from the top, we have.
dial my heart tote from earth cadets in orange and navy. my new design kit bag!
spectacles ring by isette. my first purchase and maybe my favorite! i love all her stuff. so pretty and fun!
barn owl portrait key chain by berkley illustration. this made me laugh like a monkey. so i had to get it.
soaps from biggs and featherbelle. i actually bought 2 (barlesque and lemon bar) but one is already in use. delish!
corporation boss notebook from overdue industries. a blank notebook from a 70’s era harlequin romance?!?!?! yes please.
1 yard of etsuko furuya fabric bought at the needle shop booth. the plan is to sew around each square to it looks like real patchwork, attach a button at each corner and stretch in one of those ikea fabric frames. new art for the house!
and my big purchase… screen-printed cuckoo clock from urban posture. i can’t resist the fabulous and functional.
i had a great time and spent too much money as usual…i love you renegade!

i met biggs and featherbelle at the crafty bastards arts and craft fair in d.c. last year. they were too much fun. i wish earth cadets would make an east coast appearance. . .

No judgment here! My best light is often in the bathtub. Weird, yes?
That fabric is delish.

My fiance seriously cried with laughter when we saw Berkley Illustration’s squirrel pic at Wholly Craft in Columbus, Ohio. We bought it instantly and put it in a bright pink frame for his 7 year old niece with the Caption… “A Whole New Squirrel.” She thought we were crazy, but loved it. : )
