    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.)

    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!)

      It’s a fascinator from Ophelie Hats. I bought it at the One of a Kind Show this year.
