It was at the Fort Mason center, and parking was quite a bother. We ended up driving around in the parking lot for an hour before getting a spot (thank you kind lady who stopped up and told us to back up so we could park in her spot!), but it was the best price for parking we've ever found there, only $10 for the whole day!
There were so many booths inside the building, it was crazy. I found a great many crafts that I would like to try my hand at making for myself. One piece that definitely caught my eye was a silhouette brooch made out of felt. It was beautiful, and it seemed so simple to make!

Another piece that caught my eye was this beautiful skirt, I loved the scissors on it! If I were to do this, I think I would embroider the scissors onto it, or maybe even trying my hand at applique...hmm...I'll think about that...

This necklace is gorgeous, and the concept is so simple that it's just completely stunning. I have no desire to create this for myself, but I would definitely wear one of these around my neck.

Another simple concept that was very beautiful visually were the rick-rack jewelry that were for sale at one booth. I found it hard to believe that something that simple wasn't thought of by a lot of people!

One thing that I almost bought was a necklace made from a vintage spool of thread. The thread itself dangled at the end like a charm, and there were beads around it and sometimes a little other charm (like a sewing machine) dangling from underneath the spool. There's no picture online that I can find from the creator of the piece (sweet-n-salty).
My etsy shop is now created, and I will be doing some "decorating" in it before I add items and begin selling. I can't wait to try this out and see if it's something that will work well and make me some money doing something I love! I am so excited to be getting my pieces out into the world!
