RCF recap, etc.....
Wow, has it really been a month since i've written? Well, lets see....Nick and I had a great time in Chicago for the Renegade Craft Fair! Met lots of nice folks; saw some familiar faces, finally met Maggie and Michael from Supermaggie, and dodged many mud puddles. It was really amazing that people still came out in the mud to support the fair. On Saturday nick got all "fanboy" on me as he spotted Mike Kinsella of Owen/American football out browsing the booths.

We have no photos from the actual fair, but here are some of our purchases...

a) Nick picked up this piece by artist Dolan Geiman, (silkscreen/collage god)
b) Some really cute cards by Nicole over at pinklovesbrown.com
c) More cards from the amazing sidepony.com
and I bought a supermaggie longsleeve tee which is in the washer:)

Yesterday we stumbled into a lovely little yard sale where we found this:

HELLO? Ten dollars for Gocco? What a steal! It's an older model, and missing a few pieces, but I managed to find the replacements online. We also scored some vintage upholstery fabrics:

Just got finished printing these...

for Craftin Outlaws fair this Saturday in Columbus. I’ve got some samples coming from alternative apparel, which Maggie suggested we try. Hopefully they’ll be here in the morning. Just one more hoodie to make before I get to relax and watch the last episode of arrested development season one. Nick and I have been obsessed lately. Gotta love the never-nude!!

I know, can you believe it?! The lady that was selling it didn’t have the slightest idea of what it was. When I picked it up she said," I think you can make cards with that or something" ha-ha.
