collecting images and inspiration in California.

on the 9th I was in PHL. the 10th JFK –> LAX.  followed by a drive up the PCH with temporary stay in Monterey.  I write now from SFO with a stomach full of google lunch + afghan dinner.

Renegade LA was really fun – I was lucky to be positioned across the path from incredibly kind and super talented annie + eric of 3 fish studios.  they will also be at the upcoming San Francisco Renegade – where I will be sharing space with Karen’s Monsters.  that’s monsters with prismPOP and p*Charming – few things are more fun!  i love this state. i do. sorry coney. xo

this year’s renegade craft fair was my first as a vendor as well as renegade’s first fair of the season <LA-SF-CHI to follow>.  mama nature was particularly kind because it was torrential friday + sunday evenings – yet somehow, both saturday and sunday were absolutely beautiful! so much so that i managed to burn the backs of my knees to a crisp, i swear ma – i wore 45spf

situated around the track, it was amusing watching artists + shoppers bolt through the soccer field to grab a bite or use the temporary bathrooms – with running water and soap!

people really enjoyed spelling out their names as well as making bff matchy necklaces.
this lovely lady brought her friend back on Day 2 and shows off the layered look quite well

caught in action!  as is pretty apparent, i was manning p*Charming whilst amazing friends looked over prismPOP.  in case you were lost / overwhelmed (300 vendors this year) p*Charming shared a booth with ikyoto + Look Closely Press; prismPOP with Caja Jewelry all of whom i met through my proud participation in the etsy street team: the {NewNew}; which I must tell you is an incredibly nurturing group of artisans + crafters.  i had fantastic neighbors!

all in all, renegade was a beautiful outdoor weekend full of delicious food (thanks in large part to a pretzel croissant from my old neighborhood bakery pal) super company & fun.  i am so looking forward to heading to cali next month to do it again in SF and LA!  please do introduce yourself as i am an easterner + would love some company.

also, if you are not already on the mailing lists(pP & p*C), sign up for discounts!

anyone going to BKLYN designs ?

i have just shared 20% off both of my stores (pp & p*C) with my newsletter subscribers.  additionally i am sharing with you even more coupons!  does that make up for my MIA behavior?

as you read this, i am partaking in creative mornings by swiss-miss‘ tina roth eisenberg.  for which, we were asked to answer “i want to redesign . . .” and pin that to our chest in place of name-tags.  what would you re-design?

<yikes – 2 questions in one blog post – outrageous!>

i do apologize;  i’ve been organizing and planning and creating and other things like that

one thing i finally accomplished was setting up mailing lists for prismPOP + p*Charming.

so if you are interested in where i am selling those wares + if you like discounts, sign up!

poppytalk handmade is a great little online curated marketplace currently featuring its holiday madness selections. while, yes, p*Charming is a featured seller, i have always referenced phm when etsy begins to feel slightly overwhelming.  check it out!
