I have lived in Madison for 3.5 years, and it took me just that long to discover that there's an annual craft fair in my neighborhood. Seriously? Seriously.
On Sunday, I made the first of what will likely be an annual November trip to the
Goodman Community Center to check out
The Crafty Fair. As a craft addict, it was pure heaven. Football game? Don't need it. Two rooms filled with crafts, crafts, and more crafts is my idea of a rocking weekend.

Earring display paired with hand-knit accessories.
I love a good mannequin head. |

| If you've been wanting to truly drop an F-bomb, now is your chance. |
It was a great place to meet local crafters, including Milwaukee-based
Plushzilla (makers of the clever F-bombs above). In a room surrounded by local, handmade goodies, it was really tough to nail down a purchase.

Love at first sight: I took home this gorgeous print.
I swoon when an impulse purchase matches my bedroom. |
Browsing through handmade jewelry, toys, cosmetics, artwork, soaps, and home decor? Check. The Crafty Fair had it covered. And all less than a mile away from my home! I will never miss it again.
