inspiration...

my mom, madelyn, and i went to the renegade fair today in brooklyn. i wanted to go to it SO badly, but to tell you the truth, i was a TAD disappointed... i think perhaps if i were a tiny little thing and had loads of money to spend, i would have liked it more because i could fit into and buy all the pretty clothes.... but alas, that's not my fate. they didn't have too many baby things so that was disappointing. the onesies that they had that i liked were $20+ and that's just a little more than i can afford right now! LOL

however, here are some things i loved and thought i'd share with you... go support some local artists:
mean cards --- these are the funniest cards i have probably ever read. i was cracking up reading each and every one and would like to send lots of them out. i didn't buy any, but rest assured, i will.

Seattle Show Posters -- i LOVED their posters. i bought this one, but it doesn't have the writing on the bottom of it. it's gonna look awesome in the babes room. i also really liked this one, minus the writing, of course.

Prism Pop - they don't appear to have many on the site, but they have really fabulous little postcards made from recycled paper and soy inks. i definitely bought one of those.

Caja Jewelry - pretty necklaces. and they make custom nameplates, which i've been wanting to get for madelyn. so when i have some moula, i'll be looking into that.

Rinse Bath and Body Co. - delicious smelling soaps

A.S.I.S. - i don't remember what it was that i loved at this booth, but it must have been something because i grabbed a card... hmm.

Look Closely Press -- her etsy is empty at the moment and she may not be producing them anymore, but she had the coolest magnets that you could write messages on. i loved them. i meant to go back and get one, but forgot. dang,

Heather Toupin -- again, I can't remember what I specifically loved and her shop is closed this weekend for the fair... but it must have rocked, so check it out when she's back up

The Chalkboard Tee --- honestly, this was one of the coolest things I saw. so innovative, i think. my nephew would love a chalkboard tee!

go - Monkey Design -- i'm pretty sure this is where i bought the cutest little sewn pig as a gift for someone, but it's not listed on her etsy... so maybe i'm wrong... check out her other cute stuff though!

Miss Natalie -- she has the cutest growth charts. i just love them

Pip-Squak Chapeau -- they seemed to have the most beautiful, plain, lovely clothes, but for some reason the booth was blocked off and i couldn't get in.... sad.

Lorelei SF -- cool wooden posters. but they dont have them on their etsy. shame.

Cutesy but not Cutesy - self-explanatory. i loved these too. sigh. oh, to be rich.

okay, that's all the cards i grabbed. enjoy looking through them! and i will most likely be back tomorrow with a TWO MONTH (!!!!) update on my pretty girl.

Hey! Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather at Renegade. Thank you for mentioning The Chalkboard Tee in your blog. When we clicked on the link, it sent us to an etsy site with letter press cards.

Have a great day!
