Hobby Lobby has an extensive selection of decorating decor, and sometimes it's good to walk around the store to see what's new. The fall crafts, florals, and party items are currently 40% off. I noticed a few other things: I didn't know the price of full-length mirrors is always 1/2 off, price marked. And didn't know there is a picture framing shop in the back of the store.

Don't get me wrong--I love crafts and DIY and all that. And a craft fair with almost 300 vendors…read moresounded amazing on paper. But then I trekked out to Williamsburg this afternoon and was sorely disappointed. Virtually every booth sold some combination of: wood block prints, greeting cards, jewelry featuring branches or swallows, silk-screened tees, mustaches/beards, canvas tote bags, or recycled messenger bags. Ugh. Oh, and prices are pretty high, too--don't expect to find any great bargains here. There were a few unique vendors (hi Cakespy and antique typewriter jewelry woman!), but after seeing fewer than ten booths, I realized that I'd already seen it all. This would have been much more palatable if it were 75% the size, like Market NYC. Also, don't come hungry, because the food offerings were kind of slim. Tip: This is truly hipster heaven. If you're allergic to hipsters (achoo!), stay far, far away.

I had a blast at the Renegade Craft Fair last weekend. It was so big that half way through we had…read moreto stop to eat at the Smorgasburg Food Market across the street. I do agree with Stephanie V. that some of the vendors get a little repetitive. There was a ton of jewelry, much of it very similar. But each vendor definitely has their own uniqueness. I love checking out products on fab.com and etsy. So it was pretty cool to me to be able to see these items that I've been drooling over online, in person. Not only that but to also be able to chat with the artists themselves is interesting. That's what I love about the idea of these homemade crafts. These are real people who pour their heart and soul into everything they make. And they're so enthusiastic about it. Most of the vendors accepted credit cards but they were having an issue getting service so I had to pay cash a couple times. Besides that there was some of the same types of items, there was also a wide range of items as well. From clothes and jewelry to posters and greeting cards to birdhouse clocks and ipod docks to terrariums and air plants. The icing on the cake was the location right on the river with an amazing view of the city. And conveniently the East River Ferry is right there to take you to Midtown Manhattan. I am definitely considering going again next year.

It's like there is a mold or mildew problem and they are attempting to cover it up with an unflattering incense. I had to leave, I was feeling queasy.

It was hard to decide prices ranging from $60+ to $7. However, after browsing the selection, my mom and I picked two items each! It took me and her about 2 hours and cost $50, which wasn't bad at all. The only reason I give four stars and not 5 the workers when we walked in were just sitting talking didn't really engage with us or show us around ask if it was our 1st time I had to tell them. Also, when painting, I thought they would come around to see if we needed anything or look at our work and tell us we need more layers I had to ask. However, personally, they were still nice, just not as engaged as i would like. All in all a great experience and super fun I will be back.

My wife and I were excited to end our first ever trip to Ice Fest by making a pottery souvenir. We…read morehad seen the Facebook advertisement to make a coffee mug with Carlisle Ice Fest stencils. However, our experience painting pottery left us very frustrated and determined never to return to this business when we're next in town. We've painted pottery in numerous studios in Maryland and New Hampshire, so we understand the basics of the process. When we entered the studio, no one greeted us or was seemingly working there to answer our questions. We wanted to know if there was a studio fee or if that was included in the pottery prices. Despite advertising the mugs, they were not easily identified as being the special. The staff, and I'm reluctant to actually call them employees, we're giggly teenagers who were more interested in chatting then helping customers. We had to stand in the check out line to get basic questions answered and ended up waiting for the owner to come over to have the stencil process explained. In addition to the lack of support from the staff, the owner/manager was busy running an adjacent store selling teas and other goods. As a result, it appeared no one was actually managing the pottery studio. Focusing on either the pottery studio or the other store instead of poorly running both would have improved everyone's experiences. The owner was gracious enough to ship our mugs to our home in Maryland. However, the packaging was poor and resulted in chipping one mug and completely cracking the other. Luckily, we can use the Japanese kintsugi technique to salvage our mugs as candle holders instead of their intended purpose.
