Table for One Please

Today I took myself on a date to the MOCA for the Transmission LA: AV Club show. It was filled with work inspired by music. My favorite piece was definitely Pinwheels - too cool for words really. The show was a good blend of audio and visual (hence the AV I suppose).

If you are in the area I would highly recommend seeing it before it closes.

After the museum I walked around Little Tokyo for a bit and headed to The Pie Hole for lunch. Mind you, I have never been to The Pie Hole and was reeeeeally looking forward to trying it. Alas, they were CLOSED! Boooooo. I guess I should have checked their hours of operations before heading there.

I did find food at the Novel Cafe just across the street and had a pulled bbq chicken sandwich. I am not a huge fan of bbq but I looooove pulled chicken, so I gave it a go and it was yummy in my tummy.

A lovely day to be inspired.

Unique LA: Local Love Event | Day One

Today was the first Valentine's Day show for Unicorn Crafts. I went into this show with the mentality that it won't be crazy busy like the holidays, so just go with the flow.

That being said, it was a great day one. It was half the size of most Unique LA shows which was nice for the vendors (less people waiting for elevators) and for shoppers (not SO overwhelming).

 Jella from Honey My Heart came by my booth and snapped this photo.

 Shrinky Dink Brooches!

 Yes, those are indeed earrings in those tiny bottles

 Happy shoppers

It was great to catch up with some of my buddies whom I usually only get to see at shows (since we are all always busy prepping for the next show).

As per usual, I had to paint my nails fancy for the show. I wanted to do something festive without being extra literal for Vday.

I hope I get to walk around a bit more tomorrow to show you some of my favorite vendors. Looking forward to day two.

Renegade Craft Fair(s) Recap

It's been a crazy busy few weeks and now that the show season is officially over, I can catch up on a few things.

The past two weekends were the Renegade Craft Fair shows. I had never been a part of the shows before and was both excited and nervous about being a vendor. I didn't know what to expect but at least I was sharing with my dear friend Genevieve. She is the delightful genius behind Le Petit Elefant.

Both shows were fantastic (minus a bit of mud at the LA show, that was quickly remedied). I do have to say that the San Francisco show was my favorite one out of the three shows that I did this season. I'm sure it had something to do with being back in the bay area and seeing my friends who I have missed being around. I may be in LA but my heart is definitely in the bay area. 

That's my lovely friend Liz who helped me all weekend.
