SECRET SHOPPER: Highlights from the Holiday Art Star Craft Bazaar
Shopping Spree columnist Julia West with some of her faves from this weekend's Holiday Art Star Craft Bazaar.
The holiday craft bazaar was torture on my self control. Each impeccably-set-up booth was a display of tight craftsmanship and good taste, and I wanted to buy all of it — for myself, no less. I went in with a list of people to shop for, but forgot all about their personal style and taste. Instead, I found myself muttering “I really want this” a few too many times. My will was strong, though, and the only thing I picked up for myself was a calendar from local favorite Corina Dross. It playfully insists that, based on certain prophecies and rumors, this is the last calendar you’ll ever need. Here were some of the other highlights:
Mokuobi Threads This is a Brooklyn-based artist who was selling the loudest wallets, pencil bags, tees and a few other vibrant trinkets.
Mello Press Amanda Mello is a Philly girl who letter presses phrases like “i miss your face” or “nerds!” onto cards. She was also slinging some fancy map coasters for $20 a set (pictured).
Adam Smith I was the picture of financial responsibility when I didn't buy an entire wall of prints from local artist and badass Adam Smith. I would have treated myself to one if I could choose a favorite.
