fall plaid fall.

fall is my favorite. and so is plaid.
i like to associate the two.

now that the change of seasons is upon us, i've been seeking out fabulous plaid goodies.

i bought this great dress yesterday at old navy for only $25. it was a steal.

i love this tutorial on making plaid pillows with thrifted male shirts. via kelly+olive.

here are a couple of plaid clutches that i adore...
...and from lolafalk...

how about a fabulous vintage plaid thermos?

or this super cute plaid pumpkin pincushion from seapinks. i want one.

my new obsession with the show 'mad men' has got my plaid eye jumping with aesthetic happiness.
don't you just adore the 1960s plaid wallpaper?
the women may not have been well respected, but they sure looked swell with dresses like these.

...i leave you with some of my plaid goodies, available in my shop...

my trip to the renegade craft fair in chicago was fantastic. even better than i imagined.

...bUttOnS!!...by red raven studios...

...i adored these dishes from foldedpigs...

...stuffies from art goodies...

...adorable finger puppets including steve zissou, willie nelson, john and yoko, and more by abbey christine...

this is just a small few of the amazing vendors. visit the renegade craft fair website for links to all of the other artists that were there.

i leave you with some of the loot i made it home with...
...this print, "everyone serves a porpoise" from the great berkley illustrations...

..."99 problems..." postcard from rar rar press...

...this brooch was made from a vintage children's book about valentines, and i absolutely fell in love with it!..made by overdueindustries...
