Craft Show Season

Craft Show season is heating up here in Greater Chicagoland. Most of the big ones occur closer to Christmas and have mostly Christmas and Thanksgiving holiday things, but Fall Diddley in Belvidere is always in early October and has plenty of Halloween-themed things.

Fall Diddley is my favorite of the craft shows and well worth the hour-plus drive. I've been really good about not buying things the last couple of years, but I've been looking for a new purse because the brown one I have clashes wildly with my red winter coat. Then I found this:



(Sorry about the dark backgound, but it was either this or a blue and green plaid bedsheet.)

How cool is that? And it was literally the only one in that fabric out of all the styles she had. Clearly, it was fate that I should own this purse. Which I now do.

I just love going to craft shows. There are certainly a lot of things there that don't interest me, but then I also find really cool, original things like this.

That is awesome! You definitely rolled well on shopping that day.

Depends on whether you consider failing a saving throw a success or not. ;-) This is definitely way cooler (and more useful) than the stuff I've been looking at in stores, though.
