off to the Bazaar

For the last few years I've spent an hour in line outside the Cyclorama one Sunday in December waiting for the Bazaar Bizarre to open. This year was no exception. It's an alternative craft fair but, really, there's something for everyone. Here are some of the things I enjoyed looking at this year.

Hedgehog bags from slaPPhaPPie

Matrioshka pillow from Hambone and Jennicakes

Adorable stuffed creatures and hoodies with furry linings and horns from Diane Koss

And this awesome tweed triceratops from MIAOW

I don't know where this lampshade made out of cocktail umbrellas came from, but it was adorable.

And the things that actually came home with me: awesome city prints from JHill Design

(I bought the small prints of Amsterdam and Chester since I've actually been to both, and love the things she chose to iconize them, but I was also tempted by Kiev and Albuquerque. And Champagne. And Malibu. They're all beautiful. I requested that she make a London one, too.)

And this baking print from Flowers in May

Apparently I was very into prints this year. :)

I love the animals! You did well with your prints, too. Ah, Chester... I hadn't remembered that you'd been there - it's a beautiful place, isn't it?
