his past weekend was action packed. Not only did I see The Zac Brown Band (!!!) at the first ever West Coast Country Concert in San Francisco, but I also did the tour of the Barney’s Warehouse sale (which was crap) and the Renegade Craft Fair (if you have never gone, you should. It is replete with awesomeness and urban hipsters galore).

As my husband likes to point out, I have an inner hippy which I try to embrace whenever possible (usually in the form of clothes which inevitably elicits the ever-charming response of “you’re wearing that?“). As a result, urban hipster events are pretty much the only time my collection of patchwork empire-waisted tent dresses are allowed to come out of hiding, which means these events are etched in stone on my calendar.

Whatever. Anyway, here are some of my favorites from this year’s crop of crafters:

Catia Chien:
I love these hand-painted images from Catia Chien. They almost have a dreamy quality about them.

Sora Designs:
Handmade vintage jewelry. Reminds me a bit of Elva Fields

Erin Zam:
I love these beautiful, graphic wall hangings by Erin Zam. I bought the one pictured below.

Meryl Munches Macaroni:
Colorful hand-drawn shoes for tykes

Sycamore Street Press:
Beautiful letter pressed number and letter posters for children

Fernworks:
Mixed media creations under resin. After spending an entire summer in my studio inhaling the fumes of resin and cursing my inability to make anything better than decoration for my trash can, I have a new found respect for resin art.

Little Bit:
Handmade dino stuffed animals <3 <3 <3

Mama’s Little Babies:
Victorian Illustration Jewelry

Old Tom Foolery:
I have a soft spot for good, letter pressed type, plus who can resist typestaches?

A Little Birdie Told Moi:
Super adorableness.

Colette Kids:
Graphic tees for infants and children.

Calliope:
Cute tops and headbands for little girls

Paz Sintes:
Unique textile jewelry. Pricey, but beautiful.
