unglued craft fest

posted Sat, March 05, 2011 - 11:47 am.

just got home from the first unglued indie/diy craft fest and that was crazy. insane even. it might have taken me standing in the basement women’s bathroom for about 10 minutes but damn if I didn’t get one of the last swag bags. and i guess i should have looked in it before getting home…there were coupons in there!

some very cool booths and if you read this before today is over i reckon you should get in your car, on your bike, or start walking over to the downtown american legion and check it out yourself.

i got a cute owl from gentry night studios out of the cities. former fargo old school scenester amy jo had a booth with her husband and a lot of really nice screen prints. the concrete jewelry from raine design were not only extremely cool but also inspiring. also their moss jewelry was almost equally as cool but i have a fondness for concrete. craft mission had a lot of nice stuff made from mostly recycled materials, bravo.

m is for miche had what seemed to be the most popular booth with extremely cool stuffed monsters. i wanted them all, unfortunately my car is getting fixed on monday and that is making a huge ding on my finances. urgh!

most interesting item definitely had to be miss hygiene jane’s menstrual pads which when i first approached the booth i thought were some type of wrap for your coffee, boy was i wrong. eek! unfortunately, or fortunately, they appear to not have a web site.

i really hope the unglued craft fest becomes more than a once a year event. maybe next time i’ll have time to put something together for a booth of my own.
