Here are some new necklaces you will find at the Pulp Sushi Etsy and DaWanda shops. Like the green background? I thought I'd give the yellow a break.
Just a quick reminder that the deadline for shipping items to arrive in time for Christmas is this Wednesday, December 17th!
And now, on to my Bust Craftacular report!!!!
Right off the bat, here's what I purchased. If you check this out on Flickr, I made notes of what is from whom. My goal overall was to get some shirts and a scarf, and I accomplished that.
I wanted to give extra special props to the folks at Maryink, Chris & Mary. I seem to have a history with them and not know it. I purchased a shirt from them back at Renegade 2006, a year later I purchased a tote bag which I still use the heck out of. The very same bag I happened to have with me yesterday. Well, when I stopped by their table to scope out some shirts and scarves, they were happy to see me with a bag so not only did they give me a lovely discount for the two items purchased, they also gave me a FREE tote bag! It doesn't get any better than that! There is a really neat Handmade Portrait feature of them on Etsy you can check out.
Ok enough about my Maryink love affair, on to the rest of the show. I actually got there earlier than I did last year which worked out because I didn't have to wait on a long line to get in. I was a bit put off having to pay $2.00 to get in (seriously??), on top of the very expensive booth fee for the vendors, I'm not quite sure what the $2 was for but whatever, I got a free issue of the magazine out of it. It didn't stop people from going, it was pretty packed.
Although not as packed as last year, I wonder what that was about. I spent a good two hours wandering around checking out stuff, chatting it up with my {NewNew} teammates as well as some other vendors. Had a Amy Sedaris sighting and STELLA from Project Runway was selling her letha goods. I didn't approach her table, she was on her cellphone looking annoyed.
I took a bunch more photos which you can check out in my Flickr set. It was a good time and it made me wish I had another show to do before the year end but I can wait until Spring time.

See how much I missed with the kids? They love the mrstattooedgeek candles so we buy one every year. I went up to Stella's booth and she said "howyadoin?" and I have to admit I kinda liked her shirts.

Well I went as a customer, not as a vendor. Although the entrance fees for vendors was a ridiculous amount, I didn't like that customers had to pay just to attend the show.

Looks like a good time anyway. I hope you had lots of sales. I can't believe they charged the vendors the entrance fee also. That seems really tacky.
