Renegade Handmade

It's been a little over a week since the Renegade Holiday Craft Fair in Chicago, and I'm finally writing this post about the fair!  A bit delayed, I know...

All in all, there was a great turnout at the RHCF!  Tons of people made it out to buy handmade gifts, and believe me it was hard to choose amongst all of the fantastic art and crafts!

During the fair, I got this adorable print from Nicole, titled My Dearest Friend.

After the weekend was over, I stayed in Chicago for a couple of days, relaxing and visiting with friends. Thanks so much to our friends Amber, Jenny and Joe for putting us up during our visit!

2010 Lucky Cat Calendar
Before I left Chicago, I also stopped by the Renegade Handmade Store and dropped off many different Elevated Press items for sale in the shop including the 2010 Lucky Cat Calendar, holiday cards, and cards for many other occasions.

If you missed us at the Renegade Fair, please stop by the store at 1924 W. Division St. to check out Elevated Press's paper goods in person! Or, visit my Etsy site to purchase Elevated Press goods online.

And, finally, the winner of a free Elevated Press card set is Catherine Stern! Our winner was randomly selected using random.org. Thanks everyone for signing up for our mailing list at the Renegade Holiday Fair!

Garden Bounty

One of my favorite things to do in the summertime is tend to my garden.  But the best is when the fruits of my labor can be picked and eaten.  Here are some prideful pics.

This is the container garden I maintain along my driveway, which also happens to be the only sunny spot in my yard. This is the container garden I maintain along my driveway, which also happens to be the only sunny spot in my yard.

This is a nice interview with my husband, Peter Baker. I know I may be a bit partial, but I just love his work.
