holiday fairapalooza

it was a wonderful (and exhausting) weekend.

thank you, new yorkers and fellow bostonians, who came out to see us this weekend at the bust craftacular and the bazaar bizaare.

as always, there is always cute stuff at these holiday shows. some highlights...

Bust Craftacular
i thought that these spaceman and a dinosaur necklaces from vera meat were amazing.

Bust Craftacular
michelle had her eye on this vinyl paperweight from swigg.

our craftacular booth neighbors were panther by hand who created this hilarious skirt that cracked us up each time she'd turn around.
Thong Skirt

Thong Skirt
to be honest, i felt a little embarrassed just looking.

Zipper Pull
i couldn't help but purchase this tiny pendant from jill nimble. it will make a perfect zipper pull!

Cracker
there was something about these little pewter saltines from herb hoover that spoke to me. when dabney confirmed their charm, the purchase was made. i can't wait to set them out on a plate for our next dinner party.

last but not least, amy sedaris was indeed a stone's throw away from our booth all day.

POV
she was not only signing her books, she was selling her own crafts: popsicle sticks with googlie eyes, cupcakes, homemade jerri blank lighters, and a $1 grab bag full of very random stuff.

before the end of the day, i had to ask for a photo. and even though she had met and talked to thousands of adoring fans and had a sore back, she sat still for once more pic.

can't you see the exhaustion behind those thick glasses?


on sunday, we were back in our hood for bazaar bizarre...

here's what the cyclorama looks like right before the doors open.


within, moments BOOM!
Open!

as always, it was a wonderful event with tons of people, another genuine celebrity sighting, and of course, theramin holiday tunes. this year, mr. theramin himself, jon bernhardt, finally came out with his own holiday album. i had been waiting for years. now, it's mine.

for two years now, skunk of 80 grit art has been our kind neighbor. he makes the coolest stuff out of recycled material and other landfill-bound metal. this year, he allowed me to take a photo with his piƩce de resistance, the "kenny g eliminator."



holla to other BB pals...
