a crafty sunday

The mayor of Los Angeles decides to allow free rides on the metro during Carmageddon; we surely took advantage of on anything free and hopped on the Gold line from Pasadena to Chinatown for the Renegade Craft fair (RCF).  It was a nice change from driving around in our air conditioned cars and partake in the fun adventure of public transportation.  The weather was sunny and the temperature was not blistering hot, so it was a great day to be outside for our trip to DTLA.  chinatown
The RCF was being held at the historic park, conveniently located off the Chinatown metro stop.
The craft fair had all sorts of handmade jewelry, plush toys, silkscreen posters, canvas bags and a photobooth for kicks.renegade craft fairrenegade craft fair 
 The RCF felt like I was online shopping at Etsy, but minus the shipping and handling.  I ended up purchasing a silkscreen poster of a bicycle @ Strawberry Luna.  The bicycle design reminded me of my trip to Amsterdam and how much fun I had biking all over the city.  They have some amazing designs and the color treatments are vibrant and engaging.  The price tag is not bad either considering it's hand made silkscreen.renegade craft fair
Here is moi after my purchase in front of this colorful school bus.  I believe more children would take the bus to school if it looked like this!
