I’m the shopper on the far left. LOL.
Took my son in the rain on Saturday. Good times. Best idea I saw there was using old VHS tapes for canvas.
Love it. I hope to have my wares there in the next few years.

I was in Renegade Handmade and saw the Joan (of Mad Men) fingerpuppet and almost died. They are so cute.

I’m so very excited for craft fair season in WI this fall. I make it my mission to do my Christmas shopping at them.
Any chance you have a directory for up coming fairs in the Chicago area, I’d love to plan a day trip!

The onesies are adorable. Perfect for my boss’ baby-to-be:)

I know! I didn’t have red hair then (and I’m back to brunette again now), but I should have bought it and pretended. ;)
