Last Saturday, October 3rd I attended the Crafty Bastard Arts & Crafts Fair in DC. After driving for 2 hours and getting lost (thanks to the great directions from google maps and to Robert, my fab navigator & friend) and taking off my wool socks (it was not 60 degrees after all, like I thought it would be, but closer to 80 degrees), I was ready to get out of the car and get exploring to find me some crafty bastards.
And I sure did. It was pretty crowded, so there were actually a lot of vendors I couldn’t even get in to see (some of them my friends and acquaintances), but here are some of my favorites from all the pics I took. Some of them are familiar old faces and some were new to me.

President masks from Pellinore Press.

Jewelry from Elisa Shere.

Honeybee Mine Soap from 8th Street Soap Kitchen. I bought a bar and it’s amazing!

Animal portrait prints from Berkley Illustration.

Cases from Final Approach.

Lunch kits from Glue & Glitter.

Plush from My Paper Crane.

Pillows and shades from Home Sweet.

Brooches from dandelionblu.

Camp fire discovery tote from Helicopter Studios.


Hi there! Thanks for featuring Honeybee Mine — I’m totally flattered.
Crafty Bastards, indeed. I like what I see.
It was so great to meet you in person! Thanks for coming by and for taking a picture of my Lunch Kits!
