Baltimore to Seattle: Renegade Craft Fair!

On days 3 and 4 of our grand adventure we took all the Fort Cloudy goods to Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago, Illinois. What a fantastic time!
Saturday morning I think I heard Fort get up around 5am.. She had a lot she still wanted to make before we left for the show. Around 10 or so James (MagnoliaStreet) and her boyfriend came to meet up with us and bring us some scones for breakfast. They pretty much rule! Since we had hardly any room in the Cloudy Mobile they grabbed the bus up while we drove with everything we needed for the show.
While I was helping Fort set up Priscilla from MoxieMadness showed up! We gave her a quick hug but, unfortunately, didn't have a whole lot of time to chat since we were still trying to get everything to look presentable. Fort's been kicking herself about it, but has just been excited for a great reason to go back!The show was AWESOME! We got to meet loads of great people! We were able to meet BoyGirlParty, PeachCake, Lavender Zebra Press, Papered Together, CharlieandSarah, and a slew of other awesome crafters!Some of the cool people from Baltimore were there too! Including: Spaghetti Kiss, Imogene, Red Prairie Press, and Squid Fire.A couple of the cool kids from Etsy were there too! Lauren (Stellaloella) and Julie (YourSecretAdmiral) were there to represent! It was too cool to see them again :)
The show was amazing! And we're all really glad we were able to be apart of it. If you get a chance to check it out next year your should definitely jump on the chance!

We headed off to Wisconsin Monday morning. More on that soon!
