Renegade

while in nyc i had the chance for the first time to attend the Renegade Craft Fair, a celebration of all things DIY and handmade. Started in Chicago in 2003, it is now held annually in Chicago, Brooklyn, San Fran, and LA.





Brooklyn's McCarren Park played host to 300+ pre-selected crafters and artists from all over the country and an overwhelming amount of handmade goodies: the best of etsy in one place... not surprisingly etsy also had a tent.



















my favourite booth belonged to husband&wife team Something's Hiding in Here, who were selling plaster hearts, cross-stitched yo-yo's, mini houses, faux logs, and wooden mustaches with different personas (ie: the bartender).

also, visit their etsy page here.
