The PS 321 Craft Fair is happening today starting at 11 am at the school on Seventh Avenue and 1st Street.

This is one of the best craft fairs in Brooklyn. Typically a great many talented artisans show up there. I always spend too much. But that’s a good thing, I guess. Support the school, support the crafts people.

The fair is big fun for kids because there are tons of hands-on craft activities for kids of all ages. OSFO usually spends the entire day there making things.

My brain is mush and I can’t think of any names of the artists who are usually there but here goes:

There’s Susan, who paints painted scarves is usually there (She wasn’t there this year). Claireware (not this year) and the women who makes those groovy bell bottoms for kids (and American Girl Dolls). Tiki Pant, that’s it. (She was there). And the elegant European woman who make gorgeous painted wallets, photo books and card holders. Last year a teacher at PS 321 was selling adorable sock monkeys, and there’s the woman who sells exotic pictures from around the world. And my fave: Marlene’s Lost and Found with her cool, vintage looking decoupage boxes.

I am dumbed down and tired after the Park Slope 100, I guess.
