Day 2 started with the best fruit cup ever, cookies and apple cider (yes, it's very coldies in SF… brrrr!).
Stephanie/Twinkie Chan made us the most adorable pug coffee cozy! We decided to be nice and share it since we both have pugs and it's crazy adorable. I had to get an apple cozy too for apple cider (Autumn fever has officially begun!). I love how it looks like a little character.
We spent most of the day meeting people, chatting and finding snacks. I really love being surrounded with hundreds of like minded people who love the same things we love. It's magical and a very rare experience for the handmade obsessed!
The sweetest girl I ever did meet, Stephanie of Twinkie Chan!
SLEEPY! wow… these things are so much fun, but also incredibly exhausting. After day two we drove back to LA and didn't even fall asleep at the wheel. Hooray!
note: to all the sweet people I met this weekend… please leave me a link to your blog so I can check it out! It was wonderful meeting you.♥ Oh & I'll be catching up on some e-mails tonight! Off to spend time with my sister and her boy, Caleb. Have a great day. elssss

How fun! I hope you did really well at Renegade 🙂
Love and Turtledoves,

I stopped by your booth but didn’t say “hi” as you were busy with other customers. Loved the paper dolls and the Girl Scout patches — so fun! Also, I wanted to buy that avocado scarf from Twinkie Chan so badly…
Hope you had fun in the fabulous Bay Area!

so so so sleepy. I slept over 10 hours last night recovering! Enjoy your time with you Emma…I’m super envious, my sister Emily lives on the complete opposite side of the country. I just love seeing sisters who love each other as much as I do mine!

It was so fun meeting you and Emma, Elsie! I always knew you were incredibly talented, but you are so sweet, too. I’m so happy for you for all the amazing changes happening in your life/business.

I really wanted to get one of Twinkie Chan coffee cozies. I was sitting right there the whole day and never bought one.
Glad you enjoyed your time on the west coast. It was lovely to meet you and Emma (she was a total sweetheart). Travel home safely!

It was so nice to meet you 🙂 You are just as lovely in person! Glad I made the 4 hr drive 🙂
It was great meeting you and Emma and I’m so excited I finally bought something (other than a class) from Red Velvet just for myself. So glad you made it out here to the Pacific Coast! Have a wonderful trip home too!

I saw you on day 2, but I chickened out and was too shy to say hi… your booth was super cute though! I love that sparrow necklace, it looks so lovely on you, and lucky you for getting a star crown, I settled for one of the little hairpin versions until I can save up a bit more.
so nice to meet you, Emma, and Vivianna!
I love my instant photo stickers!

I really thank to one who wrote this article. I have always been reading and writing texts like this in blogs. Also, I, as a daily writer, present my respects to everyone. I just watched videos like this in research in all areas.
Hi Elsie! Looks like you got some cute things, too. It was great to meet you in person. I forgot to thank you for the art journaling class… and introduce you to my boyfriend standing there! I am so shy 🙂 Best of luck with the new brick and mortar. So exciting!

elsie! I awkwardly said hi to you two cute girls on Sunday. I was a little too star struck to have a proper conversation…I would have thanked you for being my bloggy/business idol…no HERO, and thanked you for the inspiring Indie Biz class. I would have thanked Emma for making me giggle at her blog…and I would have congratulated you both on your new business adventure. Oh well. Have a safe drive home!!

Elsie, it was so great to meet you even if just for a second. My friends made fun of me when I got excited because you had a booth at the craft fair they were taking me to. Such a nerd I am. Anyway, it was great saying hello and I’m glad you had a wonderful time. Did you use the photobooth at all?

It was fun saying hi to you and your sister. It’s always kind of surreal to see people in person who you follow online 🙂
I don’t know when I will be out to Missouri, but I’ll be sure to swing by the new Red Velvet. (By the way, do you call your team The Velveteers? That would be so cute! Heehee!)
