On Saturday, Adam and I metro'd our butts up to Silver Spring to check out Crafty Bastards.

This year, we have a whole new bunch of crafty favorites:

Owley Shadow Puppets
Stuffed beverages at Sewing Stars
Rock posters at El Jefe Design
Random cuteness at fishcakes
The cute little people of Underneath my tree
