Renegade Craft Fair Wrap Up
Jul 26th
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!

Renegade Craft Fair
Jul 10th
This weekend (July 10th & 11th) Jimbob and I will be selling our Outrageously Original Matchbox Pendants at the Renegade Craft Fair Downtown sharing a booth with Rebe (www.myrebe.com). We have over 50 designs of random object necklaces and come packaged in handmade matchboxes that have quirky sayings on them, like a plunger that says, “taking the plunge” (for someone getting married), or a light switch that says “a major turn on” (for someone who is, you know, a major turn on. ) They make perfect gifts. $30-$40. With discounts if you buy more than one.
Renegade Craft fair is an indoor craft fair with over 200 artists traveling from all over the country and abroad to participate and sell their handmade goods. From clothing and accessories, to stationary and concert posters, with everything from bath products and ceramics in between – there’s surely something for everyone!
Come support artists and be prepared to say “that’s soooo cute” a thousand times.
