I decided to stay an extra day in San Francisco to explore + unwind after an insanely fun + busy weekend at the Renegade Craft Fair. I treated myself to a day at SFMOMA + afterward met up with my friend Olivia for drinks + story swapping. When the cocktails were consumed, I headed to the Mission for dinner at Weird Fish with Lisa + Clay. We got fried pickles to start! The food was delicious + the conversation was yummy as well. Luckily, I was able to stay with those gals, who graciously put me up in their lovely home. They were just a quick jump to the BART station, so I was able to make my early morning flight without a worry. I wish I could've spent more time in the foggy city, but I know I'll be back soon!

Giant Dwarf + Pollyanna Cowgirl // Renegade Craft Fair

I'm packing up a few vintage dresses + handmade goods to travel west to San Francisco tomorrow for the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend. I'll be sharing a booth with my pal + confidant Polly Conway, of Pollyannacowgirl Designs, and I couldn't be more giddy. Polly + I have been friends in craft for years + years, and when we get together it's all fun + pure magic.

If you're in the Bay Area this weekend, stop by the show + say hello. There will be lots of wonderful shiny things made by over 200 talented makers. You can find us at the Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion, July 31st + August 1st from 11am - 7pm. If you need directions, take a peek here + if you'd like more info, there's lots of it here.

Hope to see you there!

After many attempts to package the Starlette Crown to my liking, this is what I came up with. I used the product photo to display the piece + a care card signed by yours truly + a plastic sleeve for extra protection during travel + delivery.

Giant Dwarf // Trois Dot Clip

The Trois Dot Clip is brand new + sweet as pie. Each barrette is made from 3 hand-covered felted buttons that are attached to a French clip. They are a simple pop of color for your hair, worthy of a double-take.

Here's the package design to accompany the clips. Uh huh, it's the same photo as above with the clip attached.
