All Points West- Coldplay, Jay Z

We are at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend at All Points West. I'll admit that the biggest reason I signed on was because the Beastie Boys were booked to perform on opening night. They were replaced by Jay Z at the last minute. Although a bit crushed, we are having a blast.

This festival has most breathtaking view ever. It is in New Jersey in Liberty State Park. It has a view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline that give you an illusion you are standing beside them.

Did I mention Coldplay is booked for Sunday night? That should help heal the wounds of missing the Beastie Boys. This is Charlie's first concert ever. Coldplay is not a bad way to start. Let's hope all of the anglophiles come out to shop at our Charlie and Sarah shop before the concert.

Easy Up, Easy Down

This year has been the year of the hurricanes, rain pours, blizzards and heatwaves for the biggest craft fairs. The Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago was no exception.

We have been selling outdoors for a little over a year. In the beginning, we tried to find the perfect tent. We have been through two so far. We have seen the best most expensive tents fly away and self destruct.

This poor little tent takes the cake. It was left overnight with the entire display and stock in it. I guess it sort of imploded or something. Sorry tent. Please RIP.
