Double Dipped Sweets

I was just on ETSY looking for fabric and somehow stumbled on the shop Double Dipped Sweets. I think the gorgeous pictures speak for themselves. I'm kind of losing my mind thinking about putting all of these things in my mouth at once.

Craft Fair Craziness

This weekend was the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn's McCarren Park. I was a little concerned about the fair being moved to the park - it is usually in the old McCarren Pool - where we would be so spread apart and out in the open, but it ended up being AWESOME! I cannot believe how many people came out for the fair. Like, insane amounts of people...and I live in NYC so we're talking like bajillions.

Fairs are interesting because every time there is one items that sells way more than anything else at my booth. This time it was my new pillows! This was very validating and confidence-building because I put in a lot of time to sew 20+ pillows. I imagined a table filled with a rainbow of pillows and it totally came out the way I had it in my head.

I'll have a whole slew of new items appearing in my shop now that I have this fair behind me and new products customer-approved. In the meantime, if you saw anything at the fair that you'd like to purchase and it's not in my shop, just send me an email: ryan [at] ryangreendesigns [dot] com.

Thanks to all my friends who came to hang out with me at Abe at the booth - and thanks to all the wonderful people that bought items from me, said nice things, took a card, or passed along my info to another friend!!!

Sunday:

Happy 30th Birthday, Margot!!!

Saturday was a long day at the Renegade Craft Fair, but the day wasn't over yet! There was a party going on to celebrate Margot's 30th birthday!!!!

She and Matt threw a major rager at their apartment and it seemed like anyone of importance and coolness was there.

And I finally got to meet Pame from Market Publique in person! Go check out their shop - it just keeps getting better and better.

Renegade Craft Fair: BROOKLYN!!

Sorry I've been MIA all week, but the Renegade Craft Fair is this weekend and I have been sewing and screen printing my butt off*.

I'll be at booth #193. Hope to see you there!!!

* no butts were used in the making of my products.

Perogies and Empanadas

This weekend Colleen and I traveled to Philadelphia to go to the wedding of our old friend Andy. Colleen and Andy went to college together, but they really took their friendship to the next level when the three of us met on Semester at Sea and I weaseled my way into their hearts.

Can't take her anywhere.

Dancing feet.

The wedding was awesome and they did a great job of incorporating their Mexican/Polish/Ukrainian heritages into the dancing, food, and ceremony.

Congratulations Andy and Lydia! I am so happy for you and can't wait till you move to Philly!!
