renegade favorites

Dec. 23rd | Posted by 0 comments

one of the reasons we love participating in the renegade craft fair is because of the abundance of creativity. here’s some of our favorite vendors and some cool things we bought at the show last weekend.

the lovely danni and her husband, nick, of oh, hello friend. they’re the sweetest!

chris and kristine, the genius minds behind the birds & the beasts. wish we could have snapped a few more photos of their booth but there were crowds of people hovering over their awesome cards and prints the entire day.

the one and only tony bui and his ridiculously awesome cards and prints. this stay foxy one is our favorite! Genuine HAHA

we both snagged one of these beautiful constellation necklaces from our booth neighbors at julie nolan jewelry. the holes represent the brightest stars in the constellation from each zodiac sign. on the back she stamps the abbreviation of the corresponding sign.

wood earrings from another booth neighbor, Orange Slice Jewelry.

the sweetest cards from mehoi.

the holiday renegade fair marked our final and most successful show of the year and we couldn’t have made it through the weekend without all of our incredible friends – jen and nat for being awesome booth assistants; stace, joy, diana, jalia, and amanda for hanging in there and burning the midnight oil with us during the week. we’re blessed to have such amazing and supportive friends!


[almost] ready for Renegade

this weekend we’re participating in the 3rd Annual Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market! the week before an event is always hectic. with a few craft fairs under our belt, you would think we’d have it all down to a science. but, lets just say we’re expert procrastinators.  and alas, we’ve reached the home stretch only to find ourselves strung out on caffeine and buried in wax and wicks!

needless to say, no matter how sleep deprived we are come Saturday, we are really looking forward to Renegade and checking out all the cool handmade goods from other indie artists. we have so much fun at this event and it really is the best place to find unique handmade items.

come find us at booth #134. time to get going on that last minute holiday shopping! also, its FREE to attend!

Renegade Craft Fair


Crown Nine + popuphood

we have fantastic news to share with you on this sunny (yet somewhat chilly) friday afternoon!

you can now buy our candles at Crown Nine in old oakland! we could not have been more thrilled when Kate Ellen contacted us about carrying type.lites in her brand spankin new flagship jewelry store. without hesitation, we hopped on board and joined the amazing cast of other artisans and local jewelry designers.

in equally, if not more, exciting news – Crown Nine is one of six stores curated for a project called popuphood. “popup what?!,” you ask. here’s the scoop…

“local entrepreneurs Alfonso Dominguez and Sarah Filley founded popuphood in 2011 as a new urban initiative offering six new retail shops in five previously vacant store fronts with six months free rent. through popuphood, a dynamic neighborhood is created where folks can stroll, dine, drink and shop, while exploring the neighborhood, discovering its historic charm and investing locally.  each local small business was curated by popuphood to compliment the already thriving restaurants and bars and benefit them by increasing the neighborhood profile to position old oakland as a true retail destination.”

POPUPHOOD from Eva Kolenko on Vimeo.

retailers include: Manifesto Bicycles, Marion and Rose’s Workshop, Sticks + Stones, Piper and John General Goods, Turtle and Hare, and of course, our beloved, Crown Nine

huge thanks to Kate Ellen for the opportunity to play a tiny role in this amazing project called popuphood. we are incredibly excited.

the grand opening holiday event for popuphood is TODAY from 12pm-9pm centered on 9th and broadway street. get out there and support your local businesses. see you in the new old oakland.

100 seconds of style!

L-O-V-E this video! 100 years of East London style in 100 seconds. doesn’t get much better than this! loving all the vintage, especially the 1930′s and 1940′s looks. and notice at :35 the soldier in uniform leaves for war as his lady blows him a kiss.
