I'm so glad I went; the booths were fantastic. Some of my faves from the Ho Down were there, and I of course developed some new faves. Definitely of note was the abundance of mustache throughout.
Admission hand stamp
Cupcakes by Cynically Delicious
Embroidered bandanas by Cindy of Archicraft (she also had some killer handknit cowls and some lasercut wooden doilies....)
Nif Naks
It most certainly did not stop there, though.
I just loved this couple at Paper Pastries. I'm having the hardest time just picking 2 photos right now; go to my flickr for more, or better still, their website. They were just the cutest- they're dying to get out of LA (sound familiar?), and she clearly is doing what she loves.
Beautiful letterpress calendar from Ilee Paper Goods
Hilarious stuffed fruit from the Felt Baron
Amazing prints from Sycamore Street Press- I LOVE the heart on your sleeve print. Might have to obtain that at some point. They were another event superfave.
Awesome scarves by Loomlab. One of their designs is actually a poem written in braille!
This necklace by Ach Ach Liebling had the distinction of being my sole purchase of the day. If I gathered this correctly, it's a vintage nail head from a train track, and the number represents the year it was put in. She was so lovely, too. (update: on the website, it says that this necklace design was inspired by "a song by the Magnetic Fields about trains," which I'm assuming is "Born on a Train," which is like, my favorite song by the Magnetic Fields. Even more awesome.)
This hilarious print by Willow of willotoons is only a taste of what she's got; she's a super cute maker of onesies and tees.
All in all, 10 stars to the Bazaar Bizarre!

Oh man, it was torture staring at those great Loomlab scarves all day! So friggen cool.
Such fun finds! Definitely worth the break, I'd say. :) Hope the concert was great, too!
Oh how I wish I could have gone to this show. I would stay there for hours.
