It's so warm and sunny today! I knew it would be the perfect weather for some blog posting, so I put on some nature-ish colors (that made me very happy), and went out to my backyard for these photos. The chain neckwarmer and the leaf headband are both handmade by my mommy, and you can find them both at her etsy shop, TTikstudios! :)

2nd Annual Renegade Craft Fair. San Francisco, California.

December 19th, 2010: It was my first time there, and it was amazing. I cannot believe we almost decided not to go because of the pouring rain. I walked in the door, found a huge room with what looked like a never ending supply of inspiration, and thought- yes, this was the place for me.

Almost everything there was handmade, and I felt like I was about to die. There were bags, dresses, cards, stamps, jewelry (clock necklaces!), you name it. What really stood out to me though, (sorry, I don't have pictures) was definitely this beautiful cream flowy dress  with light purple and green flowers on it and also these pair of earrings that hung a corked bottle with pixie dust inside. (darn me for not having my ears pierced!)

I even recognized many of their pieces because they had their own etsy shops as well.

Many of the sellers there were also selling a scarf similar to the one I was wearing so we got to exchange fashion ideas for a while. (!)

It was just the best day ever, and I am definitely going back next year rain or shine- without hesitation.
