old school inspiration

oh man i hit the jack pot tonight when i stumbled upon this lovely collection of old school vintage terrarium images on naughty secretary club blog. these images are kind of blowing my mind right now.

more booths

i checked out past renegade fair booths and found some sources of inspiration. i am really super digging the wooden wall and am seriously considering building something similar. it is important for me to define my space as separate from the rest so that focus can be on the terrariums. kind of like you walked into one to look at them.

planning our booth... (2)

it is getting closer and closer to renegade time. i am still working on my booth building ideas. almost there. just need a few more inspirations to narrow in on my "look" (if you will). i found these great images on cody foster's blog. these images are of a shop called darr in brooklyn. i loved the repetition of the glass and the rough textures of wood. a little too old world for my taste, but i am still fond of the vintage qualities and overall treasure / curiosity shop appearance.

  

sandy lands

i am in the process of gathering and buying lots of new materials to build more terri plantys... exciting! check out all these gorgeous sand options - color heaven! i am flipping out. i have a hard enough time deciding what to eat let alone what gorgeous colored sand i should use. any favorites out there?

planning our booth...

i am so excited to announce that i am doing this year's renegade craft fair here in LA! it is not till december, however there is lots of planning that needs to get done. i am not one to just play it casual with a cover table and a cash box. oh no. this is major. and to add to the mix my gf angelly bean (actually it is angelica) is sharing the space with me. so that means more magic! angelica's project is TOROMI. basically super awesome plant hangers.

i have decided to use this blog as an inspiration board for my booth.
i was really impressed with the recent little winter set up. i enjoyed the natural organic canvas and linen tones combined with the black chalkboard in contrast. however in our booth although we want some organic and woodsy elements in keeping with our plant products we still need a little punch of disco. yeah. i said it. disco. anyhow, here are a couple images i am playing with...

custom terrarium

i made this terrarium for my dear friend allison carter. allison is a poet and writer. she is not only great with words, the lady has such great style. everytime i see the girl she is wearing something lovely in that casual oh this old thing way. i wanted her terrarium to reflect her casual bohemian style and struggled to find the perfect outfit so i went nude. allison could rock that look too. threw in a book and voila it is just like being at one of her poetry readings in the desert - except she is lounging in the nakies... hot.
