A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made it out to this past weekend’s 10th annual Renegade Craft Fair!
We saw tons of friendly faces, from family and friends to visits from online fans and regular Renegaders. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me! Thank you for your smiles and for inspiring me in my work.

This is it! The 10th annual Renegade Craft Fair kicks off tomorrow – and if you haven’t set aside time to go – you better clear your schedule now!
Hundreds of handmade artisans will be flooding Division Street to hawk their wares. It’s the biggest and best juried craft fair in the the region. So pack a snack, bring a friend, and get ready for a beautifully cool and inspiring weekend. Be sure to visit us in booth #48 if you make it out.
This is one of my all-time favorite creations – the new Easy Breezy top! Handmade using pre-loved t-shirt cotton and a vintage slip, this lightweight piece has all the elements I’m looking for in a shirt. A flirty cut, scalloped edge, light as air fabric and handmade aesthetic – I predict that it will be a quick fan favorite.
Swing by Renegade to check out these new shirts in person or swing by my Etsy shop after September 9th for their internet debut.
Farmer’s Market season is in its full glory this time of year in Chicago – and I’m reaping the benefits! Supporting local farmers and food artisans is just the start. Market shoppers find the best quality produce while building relationships with the people who grow it. Forging this link between the food, the maker and the consumer creates a connection that’s been lost over the years with the advent of the one-stop shopping grocery store chains.
So if you’re looking for great food, people and a welcome atmosphere – find a farmer’s market near you. You’ll be glad you did!
Pierogi Picnic’s studio is moving!
If you haven’t already heard, I am packing up shop and moving into the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. What does this mean for you? A mega-clothing sale!
To help lighten my load as I transport my home and studio to a new ‘hood, I am hosting a sale to end all sales. I asked fans on Facebook what kind of discount or promo you’d like to see – and your votes were heard! Between March 20th-25th take 30% off all readymade items in my Etsy shop. From men’s t-shirts and accessories, to women’s dresses and vintage, everything but custom orders are eligible for the online event.
And could this promo possibly get any better? You betcha! I am also going through discontinued inventory and discounting that as well! Find double the savings in the “Moving Sale” category of the shop!!!

The Holiday rendition of the Renegade Craft Fair is almost here! And I am poised to rock things out in what has become a yearly tradition of crafting, shopping, and crowd control!
