Renegade Craft Fair 2009 – Brooklyn

with 2 comments

This is what I bought from the Renegade Craft Fair:

A small bundle of soap odd ends from Biggs & Featherbelle. They create huge rectangle logs of soap and then cut them into individual bars to sell. There is always an odd end left which they cut in half, bundle with other odd half ends, and sell for $1. Much better than going to waste. Brilliant! (first photo from their website, second photo by me)

A blondie from the Treats Truck. (I nomed it before I got a photo)  They’ve named their truck Sugar.  (photo from their website)

Some much-needed body lotion from Bunny Butt Apothecary. (photo from their website)

A mish-mash of “seconds” coasters from Sesame Letterpress that I might not let you use if you come over; they’re really pretty. (Listen to me and Breck from Sesame Letterpress having a great interview here).

One pin for my purse from Miniature Rhino. It took mere hours of wearing it for someone to ask me if I gave blood. I’m going to have to make up a meaning for it so I don’t have to explain it doesn’t “symbolize anything, I just thought it… looked… cool” which makes me sound like a total poseur (sidenote: do people say “poseur” anymore?) Any suggestions?

A stone magnet from by Cary. I saw it and liked it, but wasn’t going to spring for it (it was only $5, but still). Rob, in a fit of brilliance, sneaky-bought it by sending me to “check out that stuff over there” while he slid Cary his money. He gave it to me later at lunch, which was so sweet. When we went back on Sunday she beamed at us both and asked if I was surprised and happy (and did Rob have a brother?) Her website is coming soon, and I suggest you keep checking back. I really liked her coasters, too, which are slightly bigger versions of the magnet.  (photo by me)

What I’m Doing This Weekend

(And also, I might start blogging entirely in lists.)

Seeing John Hodgman and Johnathan Coulton at Union Hall. (Tickets are a mere $10. Rob and I needed something cheap and special to cheer us up. It’s been a rough week.)
