2017 Renegade Craft Fair Detroit Recap

We had an absolutely lovely time at this past weekend’s Renegade Craft Fair at Detroit’s Eastern Market.  It was a rare sunny and hot September weekend in Detroit, and the crowds were happy to soak up the sun while perusing the handmade goods.  From the unique, handmade vendors to the delicious food trucks and the super amazing DJ, the fair was a wonderful time!

The feedback we got on our brand new furniture was great!  I had just finished the bench, lounge chair, ottoman, and cocktail tables the night before, so I was excited to see what everyone thought of them.  It was an overwhelming positive response!  People would consistently catch a glance of our booth and be drawn by their delighted eyes directly over for a better look.  The comments of “absolutely gorgeous,” “so unique,” and “I’ve never seen anything like it” were music to my ears all weekend.  I may make a few tweaks to the new designs, but they will be in the shop soon.  Be sure to sign up for our email newsletter to be the first to know when they’re released.

Our display of furniture was brought to life by Electric Pink Crafts’ bright and beautiful pillows, blankets, and rugs.  Thank you so much, Julia, for creating some gorgeous textiles and letting us borrow them for the fair!  Be sure to check out Julia’s shop - her textile designs are perfect complements to our furniture.

It was a wonderful fair overall.  I loved meeting some of our Instagram fans and talking with people who learned of us for the first time at the fair.  Thank you to everyone who came out!  And a big thank you Dan & Jen for all of your help preparing for the fair and helping to man the booth!
