Crafty Kanibal: Hester Street Fair

Kanibal Home will be there with a treasure trove of vintage and one-of-a-kind items and Rubella is bringing a ton of their curiously curated jewelry, including -- but not limited to -- the following gems:

 

Around Town: Hester Street Fair

Okay, this isn't really around town, but it's worth getting of Jersey City to visit. Every Saturday the Hester Street Fair will be be hosting a mix of craft and food vendors in the LES. Last Saturday Jade and JP from Mumbot pried me out of the shop for a day of food, fun and festivities. Although Jade is nine months pregnant and ready to pop at any moment she was quite the trooper and -- if I do say so myself -- I think we set up a pretty killer table display.

(As you can see, JP's main contribution to the fair was eating up all his profits.)

(I imagine this dog is thinking, "YUM! Smells like babies.")

And here's a little overview of some of our favorite vendors:

(Simon said that I needed to try his macarons. If I got that offer in a bar I would have smacked him. But hot damn, his blue macarons were delicious!)

(I asked these guys if I could take a picture of their booth and they said, "Sure. Just get our signage." Duly noted.)

(Then I said, "OK, smile!" And this is what I got. Those are some serious hipster death stares.)

(And, funny enough, look who was right behind us! A fellow Jersey City crafter, Lady Lucas herself.)

(This is the demon that ate up all of Mumbot's funds. A DELICIOUS lobster roll from Luke's.)

(Aww, we even got a great blog mention on the KRRB blog)

(This dog lost its shit over JP's koala and military mask.)
