We had the most wonderful weekend selling our handmade goods at The Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago! I loved meeting blog readers, enjoying the amazing sunny weather and (maybe) sneaking out to shop a little bit at the other booths.
Hope your weekend was lovely too! xo, elsie

Bah, I knew I shouldn’t of passed up the craft fair! I’m 3 hours away, but I didn’t know you were gonna be able to make it! Darn it all!

I spy a velvet turban! Just got mine in the mail — can’t wait to style it for a post. 🙂
I’ve contemplated applying for a booth @ Renegade multiple times, and I always end up talking myself out of it…I know it looks like so much fun, but does it end up being worthwhile? Just curious to get your opinion on it!
I can haz confession? okay. I met you today! and got so nervous that I literally just said hi and went away. and then I came back! but you were busy so i went away AGAIN. then i circled the ENTIRE CRAFT FAIR and came back and… you had slipped away to go shopping at other booths.
so naturally i’m beating myself up for my awkwardness. but hi. I’m Abby and I read your blog all the time! and think you’re awesome! and super gorgeous! and. that is all. haha
if you are ever back in chicago. i am going to hug you. however awkwardly.
That looks like fun! I wish I could be there, shopping your wares. Those velvet head-wraps look awesome!

Ooo, so fun!!! I never even knew this stuff happened in Chicago. I really did NOT know anything about my city growing up, haha.
It was so great to meet you!! Wish I saw Saturday’s selection ; ) I love your blog and shop!!! xoxo
How did I not know Renegade was this weekend? I live half an hour from the city. That sucks, I would have loved to go and say hi!
It was really nice to talk to you at the fair! You’re just as sweet in person as you seem online. And the dresses look fabulous!

i loved the fair too! i was also very happy to finally get my hands on one of those bubble chalkboards! thank you!
$28 for a smile? Oof! Lovely pictures, though; I wish I could go!
i wish you could come to renegade LA one time!! If not, maybe I’ll HAVE to make a trip to Chicago 😉
I love your blog so much! I’m obsessed. Just came across it last night and have been looking at all of your posts since. You’ve actually inspired me to do a lot of things. 🙂
Hey Elsie! Is there any chance anything that didnt sell is going back on the online shop? I really wanted to get my boyfriend a tie but was waiting till Friday (pay day!) and by Wed were gone. I see you have some in the pic so I was just wondering..THANKS! xo
Hope you gals sold heaps of your gorgeous items- they’re awesome. Looks like heaps of fun 🙂
is this why your collection on red velvet is all sold out? i was hoping to snag another piece after my next payday, but congratulations all the same!
was away for 4 weeks and gosh, so much to catch up on here…did a quick squizz through the posts i missed. the new fashion series thingamajiggs are so fun. i like the first date dress best so far. and the smoothies, yummm!!!! hey, who won the ThreadSence voucher in the end?
Your booth looks great! Glad to hear the show went well!

I live near chicago, I wish I would have heard of this!!! I would have loved to go to that and see Red Velvet.
I totally went to your booth, but was too nervous to say hello… and now I regret it!
It was darling though!
I’m so glad you had a wonderful weekend! Looks like a truly lovely time.

Oh nooooo, you were in Chicago and I missed that? No way!!!
I went to your booth but you must of gone and went browsing yourself. I was quite sad! Maybe I will cross your path another time!
It was great meeting and talking with you ladies!
