All right - so Saturday ended so soggy and wet - it continued to storm all night, but thankfully cleared up by the morning. When we got everybody out of bed and loaded up for the fair, it was nice and cool and hazy. There were a few showers, early on, but nothing major, thankfully! Ok, enough about the weather, I'm starting to sound like my Granddaddy - (my bones were aching, too!)
Sunday seemed to bring just as many if not more crowds than Saturday and people were still running around checking out the stalls after 7pm! I was one of those crazies, trying to see everything while taking turns manning the booth and keeping track of the baby and dog with Mr. ab. So here's the 2nd installment of neat stalls and interesting stuff. Oh, and I want to send out a super apology to Pistachio Press (www.pistachiopress.com) for not getting a chance to stop by and say hi!

You have to love the display case - genius! And all the work fits in so nicely - where do you start - the hearts, the logs, or the wishbones? (or acorns or rock candy!) It was all witty and smart and delightful.
Bird and Banner
They had great cards and had the most lovely antique handkerchiefs that were silkscreened with sweet phrases like "home sweet home", "hi there" , and "when this you see think of me" . Their booth was so very nice and homey with the handkerchiefs hanging and blowing in the breeze.
Shared booth of Gavin and Lily) and my imaginary boyfriend
Beautiful jewelry at Gavin and Lily, and super fun faux bois pillows, deer pillows, note cards and totes from my imaginary boyfriend.
The Pinpals
Great cross stitched pins and outstanding puppets and tees!
Domestic Construction
They have the tea cup chandelier that was featured a few days ago -
and also sell individual teacup hanging lights and very smart little
dresses and tops. (the manneqin had on a paper mache' diving bell!)
Funcupcake
Great notecards and tee shirts and totes - with speakers, walrus, polar bear, and penguins! heck yes!
Owly shadow puppets
Fantastic. Seriously - we all need shadow puppets right now. now!
Cakehouse
Lovely pillows, napkins, and place mats - using recycled fabric.
Beacon Bookmarks
Very clever wooden bookmarks - read books not blogs! ha! My favorite bookmark said "analog".
Whew! I think it was close to 8:30 by the time we finally got the last few loads out - the pool looked much different without 200- ish stalls!
Thanks so much to Jan for having me as a guest - I had a great time! Now it's time to dig out from under the mess and get back to work!
Thanks again - Hope to see you all at Renegade Brooklyn 09!
