• You know summer has arrived when the Renegade Craft Fair, comes to Brooklyn! It's this weekend — June 14th & 15th, 2008. Meet tons of Etsy sellers in person and stop by the big Etsy booth for free goodies and a super supply sale! Hint: Make sure you bring your cameras for Etsy's super cut-out photo board — need I say more?

Renegade co-founder Sue Blatt offers her tips on how to make the most of the experience:

"For visitors: Pick up an Event Program at the RCF Info booth right when you arrive so you can find your favorite vendors on the map! For vendors: Bring a friend with you to help out at your booth so that you get a chance to walk around and see all that the fair has to offer."

See the related items below for just a small sampling of Etsy sellers that will be representing this weekend.  

• Nampa Farmer's Market: Join the Idaho Etsy Team every Saturday from now until October for handmade goodies as well as choice fruit and veg and specialty foods.
