Saturday was the DIY Trunk Show here in Chicago. I had to go because I missed Renegade Craft Fair this summer because it poured buckets all weekend! I had recognized a few names on the vendor list that I loved so it was great seeing their work in person and meeting the lovely people behind it. Here are some of the things I got, I pulled pictures from their sites because I still do not have a new camera.

One of my first stops was Laura George. I hosted a giveaway from her shop a few months ago on my personal blog before I started this one. She was one of the first Etsy Adore features and is one of my favorite etsy shops. It’s was awesome being able to meet her and see everything up close. I had such a hard time picking out what I wanted but ended up walking away with a print and two cards of prints I really like. I plan of framing the cards. The print is also one of my favorites and I managed to score the last one.

Next up was Megan Lee Designs, another shop I had a giveaway for on my personal blog. Megan has tons of amazing things in her shop and at her booth but I had my eye on one of her sock dogs. Mine looks a little like this little one. Cute isn’t it?

While walking around, I was surprised to see Orange Beautiful. I completely forgot they were from Chicago so it was great to find their booth there! I picked up these prints that I just so happened to post about a couple weeks ago. I am also really loving their 2009 calendar. It’s pretty fab but I spent was more than I had expected too already.

I got a couple other small things but these were the big ones.

I’m really looking forward to Renegade Craft Fair in a couple of weeks now!
