Renegade Craft Holiday Sale 2009

December 23, 2009

We were supposed to rest before leaving to San Francisco in the early morning of Friday, but I was too excited (and anxious) for Renegade Craft Holiday Sale that I couldn't sleep. I went over my to-do list again and again, worried that I'd forget something. With very little sleep we left around 3 AM and rolled in to San Francisco around 9 AM.



Our days at Renegade Craft started on Saturday at 8 AM. It took us about 3 hours to get situated in our spot on the first day. We were located right in the middle of two awesome artists: Hambone Designs and Cara Lyndon, whose jewelry I just came across at BUST Craftacular a week before. Right at 11 AM, the doors were opened to the public and people of all ages, babies, dogs and a stuffed octopus on a man's shoulder filled up the Fort Mason Herbst Pavilion. It was so nice to meet everyone who came by our booth and chatted with us. Hello again, if you're reading this!

This was our first time selling at Renegade Craft and we had a great time. I was also thrilled to meet the people whose work I've seen all over the internet in person. Here are some photos we took at the show:

One of my goals was to get one of My Imaginary Boyfriend's brown log pillow. Alas! I wasn't quick enough. They were sold out by the time I came by. Here are the birch log pillows:


You couldn't miss a Love Nail Tree's booth


Here's miss Rita from Mochi Studios and one of her cute ninja beans:

On the second day, there were carolers!


I'm a new fan of Tomoko Maruyama, who makes pastel colored, eco-friendly, San Francisco themed greeting cards, art prints and tees. This is her cool print display.


And this is our little corner. Hehe...


If you didn't have a chance to come to Renegade Craft Holiday Sale, you can still check out the long list of awesome artists.
