A Spectacular BUST Craftacular!
Yesterday was BUST magazine’s annual Craftacular and it really was spectacular! For those not familiar with the event, BUST Magazine hand picked over 200 of the most unique and talented crafters from across the country to sell the best in handmade gifts and wares.
This year’s event was moved to a much larger venue in Manhattan (at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea) and gave shoppers a little more elbow room. Amy Sedaris was there signing her tongue in cheek cookbook, a dj was spinning some good tunes, and there was tasty food and refreshments as well.
This was my 2nd time attending and like last year, it really made me want to apply so liliputians NYC could be part of the event. I just don’t know it’s a realistic endeavor for December though with the holiday rush. We’ll see . . .
I did buy some really fun things though. Here’s what I brought home with me - the Veggies shirt from Squidfire (for my hubby), the Henry and Gertrude Criminal Lovers shirt from Jezebel (for me), a gnome doll from Sarah Apple (for one of my friends), a snowflake cookie from The Lower Eastside Girls Club Bake Shop (because it just looked so yummy and what a great cause!), and hopefully a pink kitten hat from DoingItHerself for Lily (she was sold out 
).
