Sparkly Sidewalk Sale tomorrow!

I’ve been sparkling up the studio this week to make more beaded pieces.

Then I tagged all the newbies for the upcoming 3-day sale.

Tomorrow I’ll be setting up in front of See Jane Sparkle for the Evanston Sidewalk Sale.

I’ll have a table in front of 1312 Chicago Avenue from 10 am to 4 pm July 29, 30 and 31.

Depending on weather, Sara Jane will have my wax and wire pieces inside.

My swarm is also planning on fluttering in.

You can look for Sparkly Angel in the store too, along with her friends.

This year the sidewalk sale extends down to Main Street, so be sure to visit my favorite shops there as well, including The Collage Cafe, Cultivate, Hip Circle Studio, and more.

There will be a variety of specials offered by retailers.

In downtown Evanston a few artists will pop up over the weekend, so plan to head toward Fountain Square and see what’s going on.

To get to See Jane Sparkle you can take the CTA Purple line to Dempster Street or on the weekends, the CTA Red Line to Howard Street and then the Purple Line to Dempster Street. You can also take the Metra UP-N Line to the Dempster station. Downtown Evanston is just a few blocks from Dempster Street and a few more from Main Street so you can easily walk between the districts.

If you’re driving, there are three City of Evanston parking garages in downtown Evanston, there is metered parking on the streets and free parking on side streets (like Hinman Ave.). Parking is $1/hr and it is free on Sundays.
