Culture-immersion pop-ups

Last month I popped up in places that had nods to cultures other than mine. Early in November I popped up at Esquina, a new place founded by Nomadic Ant. Meaning corner in Spanish, the place is a conglomeration of artist exhibits, a gathering space for live music and poetry, and venue for monthly local artist […]

Bucktown ArtShow this weekend

On Saturday and Sunday I am returning to Holstein Field House for the 18th Annual Bucktown Holiday ArtShow. It is my third year there, and I think I’ll be in the same spot as last year. This show has 100 artists selling handmade, unique, one of a kind gifts and art in all media. I’ve […]

Warm Bevvy Trunk Show

Last year I had a blast at the Warm Bevvy Walk in Evanston. It is a great way to explore local shops and make new friends. The 2nd Annual Evanston Warm Bevvy Walk is on Thursday, December 8 from 5 to 8 pm with my favorite businesses participating. Enjoy an evening stroll with friends and […]

Christmas Bazaar on Sunday

Thanksgiving was a lovely respite from angel and ornament marketing. Now I am back using the last remnants of Where the River Shannon Flows and some other musical pieces. On Sunday, December 4 I’ll be setting up shop at the Irish American Heritage Center’s Christmas Bazaar. The Bazaar is from 9 am to 3 pm, but […]

Local Artist Bazaar at Esquina

It’s pop-up after pop-up for me. On Sunday I will be at Esquina’s Local Artist Bazaar. Founded by neighbor and fellow jewelry artisan Nomadic Ant, Esquina is “a place to explore your creative superpowers”. The space hosts art openings, poetry readings, shared stories, workshops, travel talks, a music listening room as well as discussions and […]

Wilder Mansion Holiday Market

I recently discovered my 1999 maps that helped me move across states to get to Evanston. Pre-GPS driving into the unknown was scary, but quite the road trip. So for kicks I looked up Elmhurst and got inspired. I am heading back to the Wilder Mansion on Friday and Saturday. The Wilder Mansion’s 6th Annual Holiday Market takes […]

Ladies Night Out in Elmhurst

Returning to the Wilder Mansion is always a joy. It was a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, and I got the same table as the Holiday Market last year. Soon I was set up. The ample set up time meant I got to peruse the other booths in mid-dress after a delicious lunch. This undressed booth is […]

Ravenswood ArtWalk IV

Being part of the Ravenswood ArtWalk is always fun. This year Architectural Artifacts offered their Artifacts Events space to Ravenswood ArtWalk artists, and we were so fortunate to get to be in this spot. I had never visited the store, but am planning to go back to look at all the things. How amazing are […]

Garden Center Fun

I spent the last few days of August making some dragonflies for Platt-A-Palooza. It was a glorious Saturday when we set up at Platt Hill Nursery. Flowers greeted me as I unloaded the car. The amount of space is always amazing, and I had fun setting up my booth. Foot traffic was great, so I had […]

The Wilder Mansion will be open with 50 vendors including artisans, pampering services, wellness experts, and gourmet food vendors.  Tannins Wine will be pouring samples […]
