I am gearing up for holiday production, and while you are busy decorating for Halloween, here are upcoming dates for you to find my ornaments and adornments. All of these are in the state of Illinois. November: The Wilder Mansion Holiday Market takes place at the Wilder Mansion, 211 Prospect Avenue in Elmhurst. The doors open […]
On Friday I’m taking an excursion to Elmhurst for the 5th Annual Holiday Market at the Wilder Mansion. Presented by Edward Jones Investments, the holiday market includes 60 artisans who have created one of a kind art and seasonal gifts including jewelry, ceramics, glass, scarves, hats, mittens, fashion knits, kid’s clothing, handbags, photography, painting, paper […]
This Saturday I will be surrounded by flowers and garden sculptures as I set up my shop at Bloomingdale’s Platt Hill Nursery. Last year’s Platt-A-Palooza was a blast, and I hope to find new and returning admirers of my jewelry and mini-collages this year. It was fun to browse the other tables and see all […]
My Holiday Market started in earnest November 1, at the 7th Annual Lemont Township Neighbor to Neighbor Vendor/Crafter Market. I set up my table among several other vendors and had a blast seeing the creativity represented. Aurora Rose Boutique owners presented their Quirkals line with some quirky sayings. They offer custom printed coasters on tile […]

This Labor Day weekend was a glorious one, and I am so grateful for that. The skies looked ominous Saturday morning as I packed up my pieces for Platt-A-Palooza. I had been staging the 16-foot area in my home-across 2 rooms. The weather channel predicted thunderstorms for the entire duration of the craft fair. However, […]

Several independent vendors and crafters will showcase free trade items, jewelry, […]
When every day is an adventure, it is hard to get your bearings. 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 […]
