I’m tired so these aren’t very profound, but a few reflections on today’s Crafty Bastards craft fair:
1. I think I have OD’d on cute and/or ironic tshirts.
2. I am a sucker for bath and body products. My friends were buying buttons and tshirts and patches for their backpacks; I bought bath salts and lip balm.
3. Lamps made from cocktail umbrellas are cool.
4. It was exciting to see the fruits of so many people’s labors, and to think about all the passion they put into their work. I heard one craftswoman saying she drove down from Chicago with her parents and they wouldn’t let her stop for food, so all she’d eaten were stale corn chips. She was selling bibs, including one with a picture of bacon on it, which she promised was soy bacon.
5. The cookies from Sticky Fingers bakery were delicious.
I’ll post some photos later this week.
