The Network of Entrepreneurial Women had a lovely time celebrating Halloween early at RA Sushi in Lombard on Thursday. The manager gave us a sneak peek at the Boo Bash menu that will be featured this week, and we couldn’t resist the spider roll and vampire chicken. The other food was delicious as well, as […]

The most challenging trail at White Pines Inn is the Sleepy Hollow trail. It is aptly named as many trees look like creepy creatures even in the daytime. All trails close at sunset, and this is definitely not an area to violate that notion. Roots and rocks along the path make for tricky terrain. The […]
I’ve dropped new jewelry off at Aurora Rose Boutique for your perusal. Since owner Kim Peters loves Halloween I got inspired by my stamps… … and made a few spooky wax and wire pendants: Spiderweb, Bat House, and Triple Pumpkins.

My friends Lauren and Rory Coyne had their Symbiosis opening at Century Guild October 12. Here are some snapshots from their night, which for many of us felt like a post-wedding party.

After much anticipation, repricing and retagging, the Ravenswood Art Walk wasn’t quite what I had hoped it would be.  I brought in the borrowed table and old shelving unit the night before to keep nerves and muscle strength preserved. The next […]
Well I was planning on having a recap post ready by now, but that didn’t happen. I needed Monday to decompress from the wet Ravenswood adventures and had my muscles unkinked with a massage gift certificate. Then I had to get a birthstone commission completed, which was a lot of fun. The past two days […]
PerficalSense Studio in Evanston is hosting its last exhibit through October 25, with an opening on Saturday.   Fluttering Papilio by Maike’s Marvels Owner Cindy Jevon is shifting gears and will no longer host workshops or exhibits after this month.
