conditions were pretty intense at the renegade craft fair in chicago earlier today. the rain started in the morning and continued for hours and hours today. and it wasn’t a drizzle either; i am talking torrential downpours that left me soaked to the bone. i am happy to report that the shopping was absolutely terrific though, with plenty to see from vendors old and new. my camera survived thanks to the macgyver-styled ziplock bag cover i fashioned, and i came home with a big messenger bag filled with crafty goodness. i’ll be showing you the highlights in a few posts, starting with this one…
charming prints and sweet stuffies from denise simon
pretty porcelain jewelry from sofia masri
Â
handmade boh bon soaps
berkley illustration wallets and prints
whimsical plush from kinderfluff
vintage typewriter key jewelry from the weekend store
elegant textile designs from maramiki
Â
prints from the talented artists at charmingwall
the fair is on from noon-10 pm tomorrow (sunday), so if you’re local come on down and get inspired by some fabulous artists! if not, stay tuned for more highlights and links to the artists.

i will be back later tonight to show you some highlights from the soggy renegade craft fair that is happening here in chicago this weekend…
i really feel for the vendors who had to set up in the rain, which is just not letting up. hopefully it won’t deter buyers from coming to purchase some wonderful art. personally, i remain undaunted. i am so ready to shop! 🙂
