Happy Friday! I'm so glad it's Friday. This week has seemed so long since I haven't been up to snuff. Lots to do this weekend, but the fact that it's Saturday and Sunday just seems to make things a whole lot better overall.

Earlier in the week, I promised to share links to some of our favorite vendors at the Renegade Craft Fair this past weekend. Well, I finally got out the cards and stuff I accumulated during our stroll of the fair and it's time to give you some fun places to click to!

Very cool, funky jewelry

fun felted wool stuff (sis-in-law and I got matching rings -- very cool!)

all kinds of groovy stuff in a very clean, spare style (we were coveting the Kleenex box covers -- so awesome! They turned humdrum boxes of Kleenex into very chic works of art!)

Etsy, because it totally rocks for handmade art!
(and they gave us cool bandanas!)

and my most favoritest booth was this one: old books made into bags (she had this Pride & Prejudice bag there, and I WANTED it so badly!)

this booth took my breath away -- the jewelry, the small artworks... it was simply stunning stuff!

On a completely unrelated note, my cousin sent me this link and I was just transfixed watching it, so I must share it here:
Art Portraits

My CT Lilian, bless her heart, has sent me links to tons of layouts she has done, and I haven't shared a one here. So I'll do that now, without further ado. Her layouts just make me smile. It's as simple as that!

Thank you so much for doing such inspiring, fantastic layouts with my designs, Lilian! Truly works of art!
