mad about plaid

What. a. day. I am exhausted. Spent my afternoon in Brooklyn at the winter Renegade craft fair and then in Chelsea for lunch. I finally got to wear my plaid mini dress- the most comfortable dress for lots of roaming around. Plaid is everywhere all of a sudden and I am happy because of that. The fair, although extremely crowded, gave me a dulce de leche & strawberry crepe AND a hot apple cider with ginger. I thought I'd go for it with the ginger, but eh, in the end I think I prefer regular plain old apple cider. The fair also gave me a new crystal necklace hand dyed with natural dyes from Gamma Folk. How about that! It was love at first sight. AND on top of that, the fair gave me a small linen tote, hand painted with natural mineral pigments (from CAShandmade). I guess I was all about the natural colors this time around. And the plaid.

A weekend of food and friends. My Saturday started off at the Brooklyn Flea, which was basically an excuse to eat everything you could ever want all at once. In order, I ate: a veggie hot dog (first time eating a 'hot dog' since I've been vegetarian and wow why haven't I tried one sooner?), pizza, a doughnut, and hot apple cider. It was disgusting and amazing. All the vendors at the flea were really cool, but also really expensive. Bummer, but kinda expected. Headed to Bushwick after that to meet up with Ithaca friends. And now I miss Ithaca even more, but that's okay. I love these peeps and especially miss living with my roomies. Next day Nick and I ventured around the LES once again...it feels like our spot now. I swear it's become familiar. We tried out Prune for brunch. A++ in my book. Speaking of books, we also visited Dashwood Books and I got this awesome little photo book by Christophe Kutner that I am very happy about.
