It’s been a good but weird year. Overall the holiday art fair season went well, but the Holiday shows I was banking on didn’t do as well as in prior years. I only sold one piece at a time, rather than the two-to-three a single customer would pick up last year. The price points were […]
I just finished inspecting all my pieces for the Bucktown Holiday ArtShow. Sometimes they get battered during teardown and transport, so I make sure all the waxed paper is properly secured. As I reviewed my stock, I noticed my musical angels were running low, so I added to that stash. Now I feel more confident […]
This coming weekend I return to Elmhurst for the 7th Annual Wilder Mansion Holiday Market. This lovely gift show takes place Friday, November 3 from 4 to 9 pm and Saturday, November 4 from 10 am to 4 pm. A lot of the vendors look familiar, so get your shopping list ready for unique holiday […]
In mid-September I pulled out the checklist and started gathering my art booth supplies for the weekend. This year my booth for the Ravenswood ArtWalk was in the Hayes Properties Atrium. This was a new venue to me, but a few veterans directed me in where to set up my booth. Soon we all had […]
I’m off to assist family with a post-Harvey move in Houston, but you can still shop my pieces in various Chicagoland places. I brought my magick spell book stakes over to Sacred Art, along with some bats to keep them company. An orange ladybug also decided to stow away in the batch. Owner Kate also […]
Elmhurst is gorgeous in the Fall, and September 13 was a lovely day to visit. After visiting the Art Museum, it was time to unload the car. It had been a while since my last show so I was glad to have a checklist that a friend laminated for me during a crafty gathering. Our […]
Fresh off the Girls Nite Out event in Elmhurst, I am busy prepping for the Ravenswood ArtWalk. Ravenswood ArtWalk is celebrating its 16th anniversary, once again bringing hundreds of artists into the community and filling the street with art, music, great food and local craft beer. The 2017 Ravenswood ArtWalk takes place on Saturday, September 16 […]
On Wednesday, September 13 I am off to Elmhurst for their Fourth Annual Girls Nite Out. I had a blast last year meeting wonderful shoppers and admiring the works of other vendors. The event begins at 4 pm and runs until 9 pm. The Wilder Mansion is located at 211 S Prospect Ave, Elmhurst, Illinois. Treat […]
In mid-August I spend the weekend at Ayla’s Originals, a lovely bead bazaar. I frequently peruse this treasure chest of beads, and my wallet was shivering slightly at the thought of being surrounded by sparklies two full days. It was fun to have two big tables to set up. I dedicated one to jewelry. The […]
Whew, I thought 2 weeks between shows is a long time, but there is still a lot to be done by Saturday. When I went to the Bead & Button show in June I stopped by Ayla’s booth first, and was promptly stickered by Joe. At that time, we made plans for a trunk show, […]
