On Saturday, I attended the Art Star Craft Bazaar in Philadelphia. Art Star is a shop in the Northern Liberties area of Philly and every year (for about the last 5 or 6 years) the ladies behind Art Star (Megan and Erin) have put on an ever-increasingly amazing indie craft show. This year was the best yet.
I spent lots of money supporting the vendors and bought myself and others some wonderful goodies. Mr. Indie Fixx is off the hook this year for my birthday, since I bought my own birthday presents… a month early, but oh well! Here’s what I bought: a couple of bags from Hello Bluebird, some jewelry from Yummy and Company,a necklace and a pin from peppersprouts, some yummy soap from Meow Meow Tweet, some ceramic pins from found studio, earrings from Lauren Markley, and a felt pinwheel & garland from Giant Dwarf among a few other odds & ends.
I also took tons of photos and I’m sharing some of the best today and tomorrow. Today’s batch are all of goods for the home.

This was my first art star and it was great. I also loved Robert Siegel and Stephanie Kao’s ceramics so much so that I couldn’t resist buying some of their goodies and posting the pics on my blog! Great photos.
Jen–It was great to see you! What a perfect weekend. Looking at these photos is making me kick myself for not getting out of the booth more often, and also for not making some of the very tempting purchases I considered! Can’t wait to see more of your photos from the weekend–thanks again for stopping by!
Some great finds! I will have to look in to going next year. Looks fabulous! I love the prints from Emmalyne Photography and the mushroom terrariums are great!
I’m glad you got to some birthday goodies- must have been a great day 🙂
Ohhh, so much great stuff! I love that one booth display too with the wood walls. I’m always impressed by those kinds of booths, they seem like so much work to carry and put up all of the materials though!
The terrariums are adorable!
These pics are great, can’t wait to see more. And I’m a BIG fan of Meow Meow Tweets soaps, they last FOREVER! 🙂
