Renegades

Aren't we all at some point or another?

Actually this was the name of an art faire I visited this Sunday with EH. That is the Renegade Craft Fair in Ukie Village. Sponsored by Renegade Crafts, the faires held across the country bring artisans producing local goods direct to the tatooed masses. Those of you who actually read this blog might note the proprietor has quite a thing for good tats on good flesh.

In spite of a little hang over (mine), Sunday was a banner day in Chicago and managed to draw quite a crowd to Division Street:


While there was much to see, I am admittedly not feeling in a very acquisitive mood. So this was unadulterated commercial voyeurism for me. Now, recalling that hangover, EH and I decided the best course was to get a little 'Bloody with Mary' from the safety of the Milk and Honey Cafe:



We found our beverages to be refreshing and enjoyable. There is nothing to cure a headache like vodka and sodium. That said it was also a good chance to get caught up with EH and hear about developments with her business, Bella Flora. No site is yet available but stay tuned for developments.

Because this was a handcrafted crowd, you can be sure there were a few example of vintage pedals around:



Next Sunday is a cinematic experience, so make sure to check back for a post on that.
