Commercial Flour Sa...
This makes me even more excited for fall craft fairs in DC.
Aw man. I made my own kitty scratching post in the shape of the Sears Tower, too! I used wood and sisal dyed black. I should hit up Renegade Craft Fair next year... it looks neat.
I'm sad I missed the fair this year. There's always such awesome stuff.
I love those dinosaur planters.... I need to buy one.
I'm so happy to see Glass Wares (formerly ReUseful Objects)!! Nice to see that Renegade has some beautiful, larger goods this year.
The Sky Scratcher is AMAZING! Now I've got to figure out how to make one myself...
@ Granola Suicide — yours sounds great too. How did you make yours?
What, no pictures of the state shaped tables? This was my first year at the fair and it was very fun. I did think the vintage show had some great items for the home as well.
