I came, I saw and I got soaked!

After attending the Renegade Craft Fair last year and finding a wonderful array of handmade treasures, I was ecstatic to see what the Renegade crew would put together this year…but Mother Nature had other plans.

Plagued by some of the nastiest rain Chicago has seen in quite a while we braved the elements all dolled up in golashes and umbrellas to scope out the fair. There was an nice mix of jewelry, artwork, stationary, screenprinted apparel and some of my favorites from last year.

Despite the nasty weather Renegade was a blast

I couldn’t help but purchse yet another monster tee from seibei, I love them all! Created my David Murray a self taught artist and professional screenprinter (who also happens to have a degree in Japanese literature) His comical and brightly colored t-shirts put a smile on my face every time I wear them. I am now the proud owner of the hot pink and green “Sandwich Dinasour”

It's so Fierce

I also stopped by to scoop up a few vinyl wristlets from Miss Alison. Her designs are so cute and practical I take mine everywhere I go. It’s small enough to fit into a larger purse to hold the millions of assorted lip glosses I seem to need on a daily basis or when I’m on the go it’s perfect for the bare necessities!

They come in a rainbow of colors and have a motif for every fashionista…and did I mention the fabulous checkbook covers, belts and pouches?

Orange goes with everything...so spring and so fall
