Once more, the Renegade Craft Fair rolled into Brooklyn this weekend. As usual, though, it was somewhat of a disappointment. Probably 90% of the crafty thing-a-ma-bobs could be summed up by:

Vintage-inspired, cutesy, and/or macabre patterns or animals (fawns, octopus (octopi?), bunnies, insects and birds)  screen-printed, letter-pressed, hand-sewn or heat-transferred on to American Apparel tees, handmade bags, jewelry, posters or note cards.

I really just want to see something original.

While it's all got that same appealing hipster aesthetic and is certainly sellable in the young-adult market, some things I couldn't even fathom leaving the shelf. Is it really possible to fool people into paying $7 for a mixed tape (do I even own a tape player?) or $12 for a small empty tin with a sticker on it? Maybe I should change careers.

While I know most of these craft fairs are the same, every time I drag myself out of the house for one, I'm secretly hoping to stumble across something magical (or many magical somethings). At the very least, I often find a few things that pique my interest. So, I've put together a sampling of what I found this time around. Click on the images to visit their websites. I hope you enjoy!

My favorite finds from this year's show:

And if you found something magical please do let us know!
