Arts & No Crap Fair

Oooh goody! I never thought I would be an advocate of a craft fair, but I swear there is nothing like Renegade! I will openly admit to being one of those people who snicker at the whole idea of "arts & crap" fairs- but this is anything but. There are over 300 artists that participate at Renegade here in Chicago, there is so much talent- I think there is something for everyone! It's this Saturday & Sunday and I can't wait! Here is a small sample of some of the goods I think are yummy.


This necklace is from truche and I saw it on a wedding site a few months ago as bridesmaids gifts and dare I say I heart it?

This has been my mantra for this year. I'm trying. Really. Mostly.

Emily at Orange Beautiful makes fun, modern and beautiful paper goods.

I am a sucker for a good necklace. Jess Gonacha will custom make you your own if you don't see what you are looking for. She also has napkins that I am cuckoo for.

Gno way! (Come on, I couldn't resist.) How did Tart Heart know about last weeks gnome post?

This is just the tiniest slice of the Renegade pie! I have made arrangements for the boys, I am going out with the girls- Bloody Marys first, shopping second! If you are in or around Chicago this weekend, consider stopping /shopping at Renegade. Its an awesome way to put your money where it matters- where you know exactly who made it, where it was made, and that it was made with love. Early Christmas shopping? See- I am trying to get my, well my stuff together.
