This weekend was the Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles’ Historic Park downtown. I love, love, love the new location! There were corn fields whose stalks were actually as tall as an elephant’s eye! It was a sweet location with. . .wait for it. . . FREE PARKING!!! and TONS of it! And people turned out in the masses! I saw groups of people who took a break from shopping to have picnics under the trees.

There was a coffee vendor whose coffee perked even the snobbyist sumatrarian. To quote Jimbob “it is like if God pee’d Coffee!” We saw lots of return customers. It is so exciting as an artist to have someone show up wearing your jewelry they bought from a store or from your last show and come back for more! People brought friends to get their own necklaces. Plus we had a bunch of new customers. We almost sold out of everything the first day! It was so exciting!

I am always inspired by the craftiness and inventive artistry of the Renegade exhibitors.

Evolution of the Muff

This guy was our neighbor! His Evolution of the Muff was a huge sensation.  My favorite quote was, “Do you make this in a baby onesie?” AshKahn, himself, was irreverent and hilarious!

Thanks to all who weathered the weather to come out and support local artists and our amazing crafting community.

Our next retail show will be September 26th 2010 with Rebe at the Abbott Kinney Festival.

See you then!
