Yesterday in Culver City was the Indie Arts and Crafts Festival: Patchwork. It is exactly what it sounds like, independent artists and crafters get together to pimp their wares. However, this is not your grandma’s craft fair…not that your grannie’s not cool… but these are hipster crafts with buzzwords like ‘up-cycling’ and ‘sustainable’ in their wheelhouse. Perfect for the holidays, it’s local and handmade, so you can ensure a unique gift for that family member who has it all.
It features some of my favorite local goods like p.o.p candy and rock scissor paper
Just like the Rose Bowl Flea Market, it happens rain or shine, so if you missed this last one, there’s one more in Santa Ana, over Thanksgiving weekend.

If you don’t want to try one of the many LA Environs activities this Halloween — high tail it out of town. Starting tonight there are many hipster activities happening in our neighbor to the east, Palm Springs. For Lifestyles of the Hip and Fabulous, there’s the ACE HOTEL and Swim Club. Tonight: Thursday – A Thriller themed Dance Night all the way through to my personal favorite, Sissy Bingo on Halloween with the FABULOUS Linda Gerard.
Check out their Calendar of Events for details.
If you have never been to the ACE Hotel – check out pictures from the party my friend Autumn threw for her birthday – you might even see a few pics of me there 🙂
