Chicago Renegade Craft Fair 2009

I posted this in the Renegade Post last week, but I was just looking at it and thinking how I got over the fact that I'm in the photo, but that silly coffee travel mug is gettin' on my nerves. haha, I tried doing some cropping in various ways, but in the end more is better with this shot - and it's the only close-up shot we got of the banners. However! There was a woman who came around and took a Polaroid of them- it was pretty cool. I hope she remembers to scan me a copy!

Anyway, back to the mug. It's my Dad's, and it just kept appearing on top of the table and sending panic attacks down my spine, haha. We were in tight quarters after all, and I kept imagining a coffee stained vintage table cloth and ruined product. The funniest part about this perhaps is that he takes this travel mug EVERYWHERE. He actually forgot it later on that day, leaving it with us (lucky us), and was quite scared it had vanished forever. Nope, there it is, popping up in my photo like a traveling gnome.

  3. Oh my gosh, Caitlin, this post had me cracking up! The traveling gnome cup!! It's a great picture - even with the Brushed-Chrome Gnome! (Actually, it's probably Stainless Steel, but that doesn't rhyme with Gnome, so, you know...) :)
