The Renegade Craft Fair took place this weekend in Chicago. Many of my favorite artists and crafters were there again, but this year I decided to showcase some of my favorite items from vendors that hadn’t yet been featured on Making it Lovely. Enjoy!
wooden toys and blocks from Tree Hopper Toys
hooks and clocks from Timber!
paintings of unsuspecting 2009 Renegade shoppers from Ryan Kapp
diagram tea towels from girls can tell
silhouette chalkboards from Despina Papadeas
leather flower necklaces from Lara Collins
bespectacled plushies from Cleo Dee’s
cute onesies and t-shirts from pinecone+chickadee
awesome pop culture finger puppets from abbeychristine
botanical and delicate jewelry from Moira K. Lime
fun play spaces for kids from hip huts
Oh, I was so sad to miss the RCF in San Francisco this year so extra special thanks Nicole for bringing it to me via your ‘lovely’ blog! It looks like there were some great talents there this year, hope you had fun!
Oh, this looks like such a great fair! I love those wooden toys and blocks!
One of the paintings of unsuspecting Renegade 2009 shoppers looks like you!
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. ;)
I was going to ask if that painting was you!! hehe.
Some cool stuff there.
I thought the same thing as Gina when I saw that painting! :)
oh my, mental note to buy one of those tents for sure
I LOVE the chalkboard silhouettes!!! and that painting totally looks like you when you had red hair :)
I would love to make it to Renegade someday – such lovely things!
I’m so jealous – those are some seriously adorable play spaces.
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!
I kept looking at the painting too – It looks so much like you!
I was in Renegade Handmade and saw the Joan (of Mad Men) fingerpuppet and almost died. They are so cute.
that’s a good fair, i went last year. those onesies are super cute!
Wow! Renegade sounds like such a blast!! I hope to have a booth there next year!
I like the chalkboard silhouettes the best. What a fun event! Thanks for sharing :)
Yes, the chalkboard silhouettes is genius! And what is it about onesies that are irresistible????
I LOVE Renegade here in the Bay Area, and this year I got to participate in the one in SF, it was AWESOME!
thank you so much for including my leather necklace! i’m thrilled!
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.
aw, thanks for including my work in this bunch of awesomeness! xo! this weekend in chicago was such a blast!
These are such great picks! Thanks for including my puppets in the mix!!
This looks like an awesome craft fair. I think I could have finished my Christmas shopping there.
