If possible, could someone please tell me what kind of plant this is?
I bought it at a festival in Lisle during the Fourth of July weekend. I forgot to ask the person running the booth what kind of plant it was because she was busy with other customers. It was on a table with other succulents and cacti. The plant is mostly green with a red edge. The leaves have "teeth" on the edges. It is very small.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It appears to be a succulent called Echeveria. There are dozens of kinds. it resembles one called elegans but it could be several others. Do a photo search on Echeveria and since you have the plant in front of you, compare. It is definitely an indoor plant and this is one of the offsets or kids of a larger plant.
Thank you so much for taking your time to help me!
You are very welcome. Enjoy your new plant. It is going to get much larger and eventually, there will be some little ones popping up next to mom.
