We are just a couple weeks away from the 3rd Annual Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market in Los Angeles - December 8 + 9, 10am-5pm at the Los Angeles State Historic Park (1245 North Spring Street)!

The Renegade Craft Fair (RCF) is a large scale marketplace event! Featuring hundreds of artists at a time, vendors travel from all over to sell and showcase their handmade goods and original artwork.  And the best part is, it's FREE to attend.

10th Anniversary & A Paper Artist's Wedding

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day I found the love of my life.  I'm lucky to say that this past May, I got to marry my high school sweet heart.

Being a paper fanatic, I tried to incorporate paper into as many aspects of our wedding as possible.  With the help of an amazing friend, we wound up hand crafting over 400+ individual flowers into bouquets.  If there was something that I could customize for our wedding, I did.   So I wound up creating custom candle wrappers and seating cards to give our tables a pop of color.  All the programs and table numbers were printed and die-cut at home.  Even our takeaways were little Moleskin notebooks that I silk screened our wedding song title onto which became the 'theme' of our wedding. It was a very big DIY kind of wedding, but I think it came out better because everything was tailored to our story.

I couldn't be more thankful for my husband, Frank.  After spending the last 9.5 years apart doing long distance, I'm grateful to get to spend the rest of our lives together, at last.  Happy 10th Anniversary, Frank!
