Many of the same crafters from the DIY Trunk Show were there (and here’s my recap of that show), but the Renegade Holiday Fair was much bigger. Let me show you some of my favorites!

Some really great links. I really like the handmade shoes, particularly the marigold ones!
I’m with you Rebecca, the shoes for some reason caught my eye~ though the other items are also lovely and oh so cute!
LOVE the state necklaces… adorable!
Great round-up of adorable products, but the orangeyporangy link takes you to lusterbunny’s etsy page. Orangeyporangy is here: http://www.orangyporangy.com/index.html. (Sorry, gotta show the love for my fellow Madtowner.)
Thanks Lori, I was just going to post that the link was bad.
I’ve fixed the link. Thanks for letting me know!
Oh yes, it was a very good show. I never buy at craft fairs because my big head thinks “I’ll just make them myself!” but then never get around to it. But it was so good this year that I bought plenty, for once (including those tree coasters from Urban Posture!)
This looks like so much fun! I LOVE 16 Sparrows and I love being introduced to new talent, thanks Nicole!
Looks great!! and I LOVE your tree!! xx
I am so lusting after Lusterbunny now! Nicole, what are you wearing in your hair in the pic of you and Eleanor at the fair? I think I might love it!
It’s a fascinator from Ophelie Hats. I bought it at the One of a Kind Show this year.
thanks for the mention– it was nice to meet you!
Oohhh, so many goodies! I really love the adorable skirts from orangyporangy :)
Thanks Nicole, the red looks great on you!
You’ve inspired me to update my stationary. So exciting!!
Thank you for your post! We really appreciate your kind words. Love your site.
cheers

I just went to INDIEana Handicraft Exchange in Indianapolis last weekend where the crafts you’ve showcased were very similar! I was so excited to by local handmade gifts for family and friends! Thanks for all the links you posted today! Always great to know about new and unique items!
