Sneak Peak at Renegade

I went to the Renegade Craft Fair yesterday. There were so many vendors; it was impossible to stop at each one. The hot weather forced me to be even more selective. I am always amazed by the unique ideas, ingenuity and passion found at craft fairs. The antithesis of mass production, products reflect the personality, self expression and the heart of its maker. How wonderful to witness the beauty and variety of handmade items all in one place.

I gravitated to the vendors whose products caught my eye. All were gracious and allowed me to take pictures of their creative inventory. Here is a sneak peak of what I saw.

  1. [...] The Renegade Craft Fair is this weekend at McClarren Park in Brooklyn. . I went last year and enjoy all the handmade eye candy. I can’t wait to go and hope the weather cooperates. There is rain in the forecast.
