Thanks to everyone who came out last weekend to the NYC Bust Craftacular. It was a great show with gads of awesome and enthusiastic shoppers. Not to mention, the pizza was great and the tunes downright groovy. What fun!

Since one great craft show makes me hungry for the next, I’m extra excited for a mind-blowingly awesome Bay Area indie craft show this weekend. It’s the holiday Bazaar Bizarre at the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park. This will be my fourth year participating in this event. It’s been one of the best since the beginning and continues to get better every year. This year, the event will take place over two days (Sat. Dec. 12th + Sun. 13th) and feature not only 120+ of the most talented, innovative and creative artists and artisans out there but also yummy food and drinks, fun (and free) craft demos and workshops, book signings, music and more. With vendors selling handmade everything– from baby clothes to soaps to housewares to clothing, bags, toys, art, journals, (ahem) jewelry and more– you should have no trouble finding something beautiful and special for every name on your list.

This is the last craft show of the season for Ach Ach Liebling, so you can expect to find some amazing discounts up to 40% off on the latest collection, older work and one-of-a-kind jewels. BazBiz is the only place this holiday season where you will find Ach Ach Liebling jewelry at tempting sales, so I urge anyone in the Bay Area not to miss it.

So come out for a great time, unique shopping and support small businesses and local artists while you are at it. The door fee is $2 and goes to support local arts education charities.

To my bitter disappointment, I fell ill last weekend in Chicago and had to leave Renegade early. But since there’s no need for everyone to be as bummed as I am, I’m offering free shipping on all orders from my webstore from now until the end of the month.

Enter the coupon code “OUCH” at checkout and your package ships for free. Coupon expires Oct. 1st, so head over now to pick up a goody or two you missed at Renegade.

Hells yeah! Ach Ach Liebling will be at booth 154 on Division St. between Marion and Wolcott. See you there.
