back from renegade.

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

talented crafters as far as the eye could see...

and this was not your grandmas craft fair.

mustaches adorned everything...penis and vagina shaped pin cushions were on display...PBR was a sponsor, so of course everyone had a tall-boy in hand.

here are some photos of the amazing things we came across...

...etsy was there!...

...people of all ages were learning to knit...

...'staches!...by fuzzy-ink...

...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...
