I’m thankful for…
…..
…all my new goodies I picked up this past Saturday at the Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair. I am already saving for the next Crafty Bastards in September! YAY! My cousin and I had so much fun drooling over all the crafty goodness. It was so hard to choose how to blow my cash… I wanted everything! I am so amazed at all the talented artists and crafters out there.
While checking out all the yummy eye candy, I made a new goal for myself.***Next year, I am applying for the Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair*** I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s very intimidating to take that step. To open myself up to face head on the reality of all my countless days of dreaming. I’m ready to stop dreaming and start doing. But, I’m really am quite nervous!
Alright, enough about my silly nerves, want to see what I bought?! Of course you do. So here goes (in no particular order):
…..
Rad new blouse from Loyalty & Blood.
Sorry you don’t get to see the whole thing, can’t photograph it while I’m wearing it!
…..
Fun buttons from Fishcakes.
Not quite sure where these will live, but I couldn’t pass them up.
…..
Typewriter key necklace by The Weekend Store.
…..
Coolest guitar strap ever, for my brother, if he likes it.
If not, I guess I need to learn to play! By Bright Lights, Little City.
…..
Birdie Zipper Pouch by Art School Dropout.
This was far too cute to pass up! And, I need a place for all the change I never seem to have on me.
…..
I also purchased a really cool leather wrist cuff from Jon Wye for the Hubs, but he is gone for the week and took it with him… maybe I’ll show you next week! It’s this design.
Did I mention I am already saving for the September Fair! I really cannot wait! And, hey, get out and support your local artists and crafters! We need creativity and originality to survive… or at least to make life more interesting!!

Hey! I had so much fun going with you! Thanks for inviting me. I had a blast. I know I didn’t buy anything…but I definitely lusted. Once we move I think I’ll be more into buying things again. I just hate to think about boxing up what we already have. I’m sure you can relate
I saw the coolest kitchen remodel idea today. They screenprinted a huge piece of glass and used it as the kitchen backsplash. It was so cute!
Let me know when the next crafty adventure is! You definitely need to get a booth next year!!

Hey. I just ordered some of those monster buttons on Etsy. Like 2 days ago! They’re little favors for my daughter’s monster birthday party.
I love craft fairs. You should totally go for it yourself…if you can get the guts to do it. I totally know what you mean about it being intimidating. I’d feel like I’d have to have the perfect booth and wow that’s a lot of time.
