A big thank you to the organizers of the fabulous Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago! It was a wonderful couple of days that went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect, attendance was high, and it being our first time at Renegade in Chicago, it was definitely made easy for us out-of-towners. My booth-mates, Adriana from Blue Lala, and her husband Max were amazing to me… I was doing the fair alone this time, and that make logistics, like bathroom breaks, a difficult thing. Thanks Adriana & Max!
I met some swell folks, whose work I have admired, but never had the chance to meet - Emily from Orange Beautiful in Chicago for example. I also had the chance to meet some new, but equally awesome ladies, Chika and Jean from randL based in Seattle and Tsuru Bride. Then there were the folks I did not get to visit with, but adore….. Erica Weiner Jewelry, and Pearl & Marmalade.
Do check out these Ladies of Craft and the Renegade Holiday Fairs in San Francisco and Chicago this December.

P.S. A very special thanks to Greta for being my road trip comrade, and to Michelle, Dan and Emmett, for letting me rest my weary eyes in their lovely new home!
