SHOP TALK: Weekend craft fairs abound!

What's that smell? No, it's not one of those stinky cherry blossoms, it's the scent of money burning a hole in our pocket, and we know just where to blow our paychecks this weekend.

SHOP TALK: Weekend craft fairs abound!

The Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom, bursting and vibrant, and our tongues tingle in anticipation of coconut ice cream and backyard bbq fare. Spring is here and our senses have been ignited with all the season’s splendor. But there’s a scent in the air that makes our heart race. It’s the smell of money burning a hole in our pocket, and we know just where to blow our paychecks this weekend.

Fair and Square is a precious pop-up shop meant to ring in the opening of fancy-pants Rittenhouse Tavern. It opened Tuesday, and you’ve got until April 24 to snatch up a handful of lovelies. We’ve been getting a little squealy over the Besty Ann Paper. Let’s just say we’ve been sending out lots of unnecessary thank you notes and comically early birthday cards just so we can use these bad boys. And we’re eyeing up those “porceline wares and wearables” by Miss Millie.

Through April 24, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Philadelphia Art Alliance, 251 S. 18th St., 215-545-4302.
