Delray Beach craft show a definite miss

This weekend a craft fair took place in Delray Beach.  It was not advertised anywhere.  I just happened to be in the area and stumbled upon it on 4th St. and Atlantic Ave.

Smaller fairs like the one this weekend can be hit or miss.  They will not be as big and busy as an event such as the Delray Affair or the Las Olas Art Fair, but they still have the potential to be a hidden jewel.

The craft fair in Delay Beach this weekend was a miss; there were maybe three booths that actually displayed art.  One of them was called A Chopping Block.  Artist, Jim Keading says on his website,

"A Chopping Block has provided a fun way to be creative and earn money during the down times."

Keading provides chopping blocks in various colors and shapes, but if you are looking for something specific, he can make custom chopping blocks as well.  The boards at $20 plus shipping.

Other booths were selling plants, organic dog treats, hot sauce, and earrings that have been out of style since the 1980s.  I'm not one to judge fashion, but decorative earring cuffs should be banned.

I would have taken a picture of a person wearing one, but no one dared.

Doggie sun visors were all the rage this weekend, which somehow didn't surprise me.  After all, there were more dogs in baby strollers than actual human babies, so why not give them UV protecting headgear?

This spoiled pooch is enjoying the fair in his stroller while shaded by his sun visor.

If you missed this show, which you probably did, not to worry.  It was bad and there will be plenty more good ones in the future.
