Last june, Vic and I ventured to the big apple for my first time ever. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I really ended up loving it. This post, I’m going to talk mostly about Renegade Craft Fair, which was my excuse for going to NYC, and some of my favorite things there.

the picture on the right are soy candles made by Mrs. Tattooed Geek. There are a variety of different smells, but my favorite was sugar skull (go figure), which smelled like cake batter, and sweet orange chili pepper which is amazing.

this was possibly my favorite thing at the fair. it was a postcard machine that someone made, and there was a girl inside with a microphone making robot sounds (”beep boop”, etc)… and when you inserted $2 and turned the dial on the machine, she would dispense a handmade postcard. it was really cute, and a great idea.

this booth stuck out as my most visually appealing set up. i love the pastel colors and all of the cute items for sale. that display case was handmade by them, too. check out something’s hiding in here.

this was my favorite and most unique item that I found. They are hanging lights made out of found tea cups. They were rather pricey for me to consider buying one (anything over $20 is pricey to me, though), but I was just really delighted at the idea. Read more about the TED lights here.

I really enjoyed the craft fair a lot, and I’m already considering trying to use it as an excuse to vacaction to NYC again next summer. :)
