Renegade Craft Fair SF
July 22nd, 2009 | Posted by in Craft Shows“San Francisco here we come, right back where we started from…”
Wow what a great experience! It was our very first craft fair and while we drew the short straw as far as location goes (we were Allll the way in the back of the warehouse), we had a rather successful 2 days. It was so great to see all the smiles from the adults and kids who loved our table and items. It was also fun to see other sellers and what they had to offer. The environment was really friendly and full of energy. We are quite drained now that it is over!
The foot traffic was great at the show so Ben and I spent most of our time at our table and didn’t have much time to enjoy the show leisurely for shopping, however we did come away with a few souvenirs…
This item was a trade with one of our boothmates, JeynReyn
It’s a credit card holder! Comes with cute little card inserts including a fake debit card from WaPoo… get it?
The next item was our only purchase from the show, and a great one at that!
Is it a giant pencil?
No! It’s a puzzle!! From Pacific Puzzleworks.
I am personally a HUGE fan of puzzles so I was thrilled when I saw this. There were more complicated puzzles but I thought this one would be good for Mikah… in 6 years or so. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get it, so until Mikah is old enough to play with it, Ben and I will have fun with it for him.
Last item we took away was a photo from the free photo booth.
I didn’t have time to stop breastfeeding. This was taken at the end of the last day, so we look really tired. Nonetheless, it’s a great souvenir and marks our first (successful) craft show.
Last but not least, visit our booth mate’s blog, Mama’s Magic Studio, about lesson’s learned from the craft show. This last photo of us was taken by her- the only one we have of our booth!
