Unique LA: Local Love | Day Two
Day Two of Unique LA was pretty amazing. Here is the day in photos. I wish I could have taken some more but I was swamped most of the day (yaay!)
My neighbors The Rice Creamery. So yummy!
I reeeeally liked the display for Monstertrocity
KC and her man from Make Shop Live
MNKR has the best comfty shirts
Creme Caramel LA. YUM!
I LOVED Richie's display too
Matt and Mario manning the Honey My Heart table
He was soooo cute. He didn't want to let my T-Rex prop go.
She went home with Unicorn Friend at the end of the show. It was his last show but fear not, I shall make another one for future shows.

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).
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.

Unique LA Holiday Show
This past weekend marked my first holiday show of the season; Unique LA. It was insane how many people came by (in a good way).
I am so glad to have finally met some vendors whose work I knew but faces I did not. I also met up with some old friends and made some new ones.
All in all a great, exhausting weekend!
Now time to get ready for Renegade Craft Fair LA this weekend and Renegade Craft Fair SF the weekend after.
Phew...

weekend wrap-up
I have been MIA for a bit, I know. I was extremely busy getting ready for Unique LA that happened this past weekend. But I'm back now!
The weekend was better than I imagined it to be. I tried to follow some advice given to me by a fellow crafter with load for experience. But there were a few curve balls thrown at me this time around that I was proud to get through.
Let me just show you some images from the summer show.

application done
i filled out my application today for the Unique LA Summer Show. it will take place in July in Santa Monica. i sure hope i make the cut. eek.
the last show was fun but this is a completely different venue. if i make it in i will be located outdoors so that will be a change from the last show. since it will be summer in LA i am not sure it will be nice to be outside or melting hot. we shall see...
fingers crossed!

see all the fantastic new items at Unique LA, may 7th and 8th from 11am - 6pm in downtown los angeles.

frame transformation
with Unique LA about a month away, i have been busy making new work but also gathering items for Unicorn Crafts' table display.
i didn't want to break the bank on the decor alone, so i figured i'd try my luck at the Salvation Army and goodwill to maybe upcycle some items to my liking.
i found some oval frames at the Salvation Army for $3.75 for the pair and they were just what i was looking for (minus the needle point and frame color). i thought it to be an easy enough make-over, so i purchased them. i stopped by the hardware store to get a sample jar of paint called "mermaid's song." since i love mermaids, i took that as a sign to use that shade of paint.
i knew that i would use these frames for an earring stand so i needed to get some fabric that would go with the theme and i sure found some swell stuff at joann on sale!

with all my supplies in hand i went to work priming and painting the frame and replacing the fabric. i am super happy with the color choice and the final product. super easy and it think it's going to look great on my table at Unique LA.
